Directed by Lee Gabiana from a script written by Shawn Linden and Pamela Gray, Kidnapped by a Killer: The Heather Robinson Story is based on the true story of Heather Robinson, who was abducted as a baby and raised by the family of a serial killer who was convicted of murdering her mother.

Everyone knows that the internet is an excellent source of horror, both real and imaginary, and nobody knows it better than the creators of Tales From the Void, a new anthology show based on stories from a unique subreddit where users post scary stories that might be true. R/nosleep is a goldmine for fright fans, and this Screambox original series showcases some of the strangest and most original short-form frights on the web.

R/nosleep creates an extra-spooky aura with its immersion rule: the authors never break character, and readers suspend their disbelief no matter how outrageous the conceit. Some stories have already breached containment, becoming published novels and narrative podcasts, and major studios are buying up rights to popular posts. Meanwhile, Tales from the Void tides fans over with six indie horror treats.

These Stories Are All True Even if Theyre Not

This past Sunday night brought two new episodes from Screambox’s Original Series “Tales From the Void,” an anthology series that adapts six tales of terror from the extremely popular r/NoSleep by series creator Francesco Loschiavo.

Director Maritte Lee Go’s “Carry“ and Loschiavo’s “Starlight” unleash more r/NoSleep-inspired nightmares, now streaming on Screambox. The episodes will also be available to buy or rent via electronic sell-through platforms beginning on Tuesday.

“Starlight“ marks the second of three episodes helmed by the series creator, but expect a vastly different flavor of horror this week. Loschiavo’s latest episode continues the series’ moral conundrums while venturing into bloodier Giallo territory.

“Starlight” turns r/NoSleep tale “The Million Dollar Question“ by Joao Andre Narigueta Ribeiro into a Giallo episode. Loschiavo says of his latest episode, “I started reading r/No Sleep probably back in 2012 or 2013, a little bit after it was...

Black As Night director Maritte Lee Go explores the horrors of motherhood in the new “Tales From the Void” episode “Carry,” which premiered yesterday on Screambox.

Two episodes premiere exclusively on Screambox every Sunday, through October 27. The episodes will also be available to buy or rent via electronic sell-through platforms the following Tuesday.

“Carry” adapts the r/NoSleep story “Pro-Life” by Grayson Grume, a story that struck a personal and timely chord for Maritte Lee Go. “‘Carry’ is about a young woman who gets married,” the filmmaker tells us. “She comes from a very, very religious family, with a religious new husband, and she becomes pregnant. The baby is diagnosed with anencephaly, which is a condition where the brain is exposed, and the skull is not present.

Glow alumna Sydelle Noel has signed with Stewart Talent for representation.

Noel is best known for her breakout role as stuntwoman and B-movie actress Cherry Bang on all three seasons of Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Glow. She also recurred heavily as Samanda Watson on CW’s Arrow, and has been seen on such series as The Night Shift and Extant.

On the feature side, Noel can be seen in indies, Daughter of the Wolf, opposite Gina Carano and Richard Dreyfuss, and The Clearing opposite Aundrea Smith, Liam McIntyre, and Steven Swadling. She segued into the Marvel universe as one of the Dora Milaje in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, and also featured in Captive and in Maritte Lee Go’s action-thriller Rise.

Noel also is repped by Ryan Tunick at Entertainment 360 and attorney Ryan LeVine at Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

Exclusive: Will Peltz (Unfriended), Sarah Dumont (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse) and Sydelle Noel (Glow) have signed on to star alongside Frank Grillo, Jaime King, Katherine Hughes and Josh Plasse in the horror-thriller Man’s Son, with Voltage Pictures coming aboard to launch international sales ahead of the upcoming Marché du Film.

The XYZ Films title from director Remy Grillo centers on a young couple (Hughes and Plasse) hoping to create an aesthetically pleasing audition tape for an up-and-coming Charles Manson film. When they choose an eclectic desert Airbnb as the perfect backdrop, the dark events of the audition material slowly slip into their reality, until they find themselves intertwined in an occult, sinister plot led by King and Grillo’s characters.

Plasse and Brev Moss wrote the script, which is inspired by modern occult activity in the California desert, with production to kick off in Yucca Valley, California this month.

The “Welcome to the Blumhouse” series of horror features has done well so far in showcasing diverse emerging talent, if not in hitching relevant social themes to stories that are actually scary. Another case in point is “Black As Night,” which joins “Bingo Hell” in a second annual quartet of Halloween releases rolling out on Amazon Prime.

Maritte Lee Go’s solo feature directorial debut is a sort of female African-American spin on “The Lost Boys,” chronicling what its heroine pegs as “The summer I got breasts and fought vampires.” It works well enough as a teen supernatural melodrama, reasonably slick if a tad silly — less well as straight-up horror, let alone as a commentary on race-centric historical and political issues that never feel more than pasted-on here.

This originally premiered at last year's Mammoth Film Festival, arriving on VOD later this month.

The first footage from Halloween Kills was unveiled today during Blumfest, a one-day online event focused on new and upcoming movie and TV projects from the Blumhouse production company.

The sequel to 2018’s Halloween, the successful, acclaimed reboot and follow-up to John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic, is bringing back several legacy characters from that movie, with the teaser giving us our first quick glimpses of three of them. Take a look and see if you can spot them!

At approximately :20 in the 36-second trailer, that is Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers, who was Dr. Sam Loomis’ assistant in the original Carpenter film and played the role in Halloween II (1981) and Halloween H20 (1998). Although the character died in the latter film, the current Halloween movies pretty much ignore or retcon everything that happened in the sequels, so Marion is back!

Sasha Morfaw (Black Panther), Jimmy Jean-Louis, Sufe Bradshaw (Veep), Sydelle Noel (Glow), and Peter Mensah (300) will star in the indie film Rise from first-time feature director Maritte Go.

The dramatic thriller is inspired by the real-life conflict between the Nigerian people and the Boko Haram insurgency, the jihadist rebel organization responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls and women and enslaving them in the sex trade.
