Filmmaker Eric Mathis and his friends have been working on THE MACABRE, a new horror anthology to be released next year. The passion project is a throwback with practical effects and a love letter to the classics of the horror genre. Mathis’ anthology is currently running its crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and it’s already earned over three times what it asked for. THE MACABRE will contain short stories directed by Esther Goodstein, Liz Mathis, Drake Teer, Howard Wexler and Eric himself. It’s a diverse and eclectic bunch — Teer is autistic and Eric is an Afghanistan combat vet. The actual shorts themselves haven’t been fully revealed, but we know what will tie them all together… Molly is a shy girl who has been pushed aside most of her life by her nasty and terrible friends. Molly has decided to throw a party and invited her tormentors as the guests of honor. Molly’s friends have no idea that she’s hired a very popular hypnotist act as the main event of her

Black Rose Anthology is the name of the new CW horror anthology Barrymore is bringing into being. Television isn’t exactly suffering from a shortage of horror anthologies right now, so the twist Drew’s put on this one is that all the stories will be about women, as well as written and directed by women. According to Deadline “Classic themes of terror will be tackled via vignettes about guilt, jealousy, repression, paranoia, insanity, sexual obsession and survival through a modern and distinctly feminine lens.” The show sounds like it’ll be more psychological than jump-scare based, which is what we need more of. Black Rose Anthology is still in the development stage and is unconfirmed for The CW’s future schedule, but Barrymore’s name could

Horror anthologies are the hip new trend in cable, from Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story to SyFy’s new creepypasta adaption series Channel Zero. The Lifetime network will also be getting one soon, A Midsummer’s Nightmare. It would seem now we’ve reached the “parody” stage of the phenomenon, because now TBS wants to put on “Nightmare Time,” a spoof of the genre brought to us by Aubrey Plaza. TBS hasn’t committed to the idea yet, but has ordered a pilot. Plaza will write and co-star, and it sounds like she’s playing herself…. Set in Aubrey Plaza’s Nightmare Clinic, celebrity guests check in to overcome recurring nightmares. Thanks to advanced technology, we’re able to peer into their restless minds, and witness their nightmares in real time. But what is ‘real’ anyway? Maybe it’s all just a nightmare in Aubrey’s mind. One endless nightmare that could eventually destroy her and the entire world. Currently, the next show to have Aubrey Plaza in it will be FX’s Legion, a new drama set in the
