Play UNTIL DAWN on Playstation

From Bloody Disgusting By Luiz H. C.

Few franchises can boast the same level of impact on popular culture as the Universal Monsters. From popularizing the idea of a shared cinematic universe to introducing several generations to classic horror literature, we’re still feeling the effects of these early horror blockbusters nearly a century later. That’s why it makes sense that so many filmmakers have attempted to leave their own mark on these iconic stories about monster-hunting heroes and misunderstood creatures.

One of the most interesting trends among these frequent narrative re-imaginings has to be the one where filmmakers attempt to update vintage frights to the modern day. And in honor of storytellers proving that a good monster can still be scary in any time period, we’ve decided to come up with a list highlighting six modernized versions of the Universal Monsters!

#3 BLACKOUT

Larry Fessenden has been hard at work creating his own shared cinematic universe inspired by the Universal Monsters, so it was hard to narrow down a single one of his films to include on this list. However, while both Habit and Deranged are excellent deconstructions of their monstrous inspirations, I feel like Blackout – Fessenden’s take on a modern-day Wolf Man – hasn’t received the same amount of love due to its unconventional presentation.

A surprisingly mellow story about a struggling artist harboring a dark secret, Blackout focuses more on the human cost of living with a terrible curse (or at least being convinced that this is the case) than actually doubling down on familiar creature feature tropes. It may not be for everyone, but this is definitely one of the most original werewolf movies that I’ve seen in a long time.

Fangoria has the scoop

Good Boy, the supernatural horror thriller from Ben Leonberg, gets an adorable but creepy new poster today, as well as an official theatrical release date of October 3.

Told from the POV of a dog, Good Boy has been a hit on the festival scene since its sold out SXSW premiere earlier this year. Co-written by Leonberg and Alex Cannon, the pic stars Leonberg’s own dog Indy (who won the coveted ‘Howl of Fame’ award for Best Canine Performance at SXSW) as the titular Good Boy, and follows Indy and his owner Todd, who leaves city life for a long-vacant family home in the country:

From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering.

Indy’s new world is immediately filled with unease: he senses invisible presences, follows phantom tracks, receives chilling warnings from a ghostly dog, and is haunted by glimpses of the previous resident’s gruesome demise. When a dark influence begins to grip Todd, Indy must fight a malevolence intent on pulling him into the afterlife.

Also starring alongside Indy are horror legend Larry Fessenden, Shane Jensen and Arielle Friedman.

Back in May, Shudder officially acquired distribution rights for Good Boy for the U.S, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. 

An official press release today tells us more about Indy, who seemingly has not let the fame get to his furry head so far:

Indy is a middle-aged, 35-pound retriever who has no idea that he’s a movie star. His favorite things are fetch, food, and his humans, Ben & Kari—in that order. His special talents include finding tennis balls and staring deep into your soul the moment before you fill his dinner bowl. Good Boy is Indy’s feature debut following his break-out role in the short film of the same name.

Larry Fessenden Wraps Shoot on ‘Trauma’; Secret Monster Movie Is a Sequel to ‘Habit,’ ‘Depraved’ and ‘Blackout’ (EXCLUSIVE)

by William Earl

Indie film icon Larry Fessenden is planning a monster mash — and it’s gearing up to be a graveyard smash.

The horror multi-hyphenate has just wrapped filming of his upcoming film — “Larry Fessenden’s Trauma Or, Monsters All” — and is heading into post-production, Variety can report exclusively. The film serves as a sequel to three other films he has written and directed: 1995’s vampire tale “Habit,” his 2019 “Frankenstein” riff “Depraved” and 2023 werewolf film “Blackout.”

“It was a slightly absurd mission to present my existential take on these monsters in a contemporary mash-up, but I enjoyed the challenge and I hope the film will feel both familiar and provocative,” Fessenden said in a statement, which also shared that he is “a lifelong fan of Universal Monster classics and the powerful messages about us that they can convey.”

The shoot quietly took place on and off in upstate New York during a three-month stretch.

Fessenden himself reprises the role of Sam from “Habit,” while Alex Breaux returns to portray Adam from “Depraved” and Alex Hurt revives his role as Charley from “Blackout.” According to the film’s logline, the story “places the filmmaker’s beloved visions of this trio of ghouls under one roof, offering up an unexpectedly humanist and uncanny tale.”

Also joining the cast are Laëtitia Hollard (“The Pitt”), Aitana Doyle (“If That Mockingbird Don’t Sing”) and returning actors from Fessenden’s past films, including Addison Timlin, James Le Gros, John Speredakos, Cody Kostro, Marc Senter, Rigo Garay, Joseph Castillo-Midyett, Joshua Leonard and Barbara Crampton. 

“Larry Fessenden’s Trauma Or, Monsters All” is produced by Fessenden, Gaby Leyner, James Felix McKenney, and Tilson Allen-Merry for Glass Eye Pix. Stirling duBell and Chris Ingvordson also produce, with Edwin Linker as executive producer. Lois Drabkin handled casting on the film, which was shot by cinematographer Sharif El Neklawy.

This film marks Fessenden’s eighth directorial effort, and he has acted in over 100 films.
