Dread Central

Uh, I started on the journalism side of the fence, working for Fangoria and then another company who shall not be named because they pop up like Candyman every time I mentioned them and I can't stand them.

But eventually that company led me to creating Dread Central, which was one of the biggest horror websites.

under my watch, and it's still around.

I'm not a part of it anymore.

But during my tenure with Dread Central, I got to meet and work with a lot of my idols, especially George A. Romero and Sid Haig, both of whom mentored me.

So with their guidance, I was able to transition to more of a role other than just talking about people's projects.

I got into making them.

George and Sid were basically my film school, you know? And I learned a lot from them and I just started implementing it.

They're a couple...

It, it, it feels a bit Dread Cen- what's that, Dread, Dread Central? And, you know, the, the paranormal investigators, all those sort of, like, fake paranormal exis- um, paranormal investigator sort of movies.

But, you know, obsession is the basis for, like, Monkey and all those sorts of, like, uh, those sort of movies.

And look how they smashed that and absolutely unraveled it.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 60% with an average rating of 5.65 out of 10 based on 15 reviews.

Dread Central wrote, the film's characters are ridiculously natural and their relationships and reactions are both fun and frightening.

Bloody Disgusting said every once in a while an exceptional found footage movie comes along that reminds us that the cinematic gimmick can really be effective when properly executed.

And the houses that October built is that movie.

Yeah.

2015 interview with Dread Central after It Follows has become this huge hit, well, this word of mouth like sensation, uh, Mitchell talks about the relationship that It Follows has to his first film.

He said, quote, "One of my best friends, he edited both movies," both Myth and It Follows, "and I remember when I shared the script for It Follows he finished it and he was like, 'This is like a sequel to Myth.

It's just this fucked up nightmare sequel.' We started laughing about it.

So, again, I don't know when that's coming out.

I think it's Dread Central's first movie with their production label, so... they're probably going to do a pretty sizable release for it.

Maybe not terrifier level, but I think it'll be something that we'll be able to see in a wide way.

Um, so if you're into sort of that, uh, teenage era age, sort of like kind of horror kind of comedy thing, uh, that feels very nineties in that regard.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Again, we're also looking at this perspective of time and space between these ratings, but we do have Anthony Arago, who wrote in Dead Central in 2020 that Elvira manages to make a seemingly oxymoronic character into a household name.

Built off of her bountiful looks, quick wit, and indef...

what in indefatigable or in indefatigable that's what i'm saying

Okay, cool.

He told Dread Central that he wrote the screenplay in three weeks, spent two months preparing, and filmed the movie in 10 days.

Sounds about right.

Sounds about right for Gucci.

Oh?

This was on Dread Central.

Okay.

It's, "Lanterns: Garrett Dillahunt's Long Journey From Comic Nerd to DCU Outlaw."

I have two pieces.

So this one I found on the site Dread Central, which is a good place to get some horror news.

Ridley Scott says his Long Dead Alien Covenant sequel is back in the works.

Are you excited about that? Have you seen all the Alien movies?

hadn't heard about it.

I try to stay away from trailers, but I do like once a week look at either Dread Central or Bloody Disgusting and kind of see, you know, kind of what's coming down the pike.

But no, I haven't I haven't heard about that.

But that's definitely going to be on my watch list.
