Cheaper and faster to produce than your standard studio horror release, the anthology approach has caught fire in the last few years. Come this fall, V/H/S Viral won’t be the only one arriving as ABCs of Death will have its second iteration. Once again running through each letter of the alphabet and finding a (hopefully) unique spin on bringing terror to screens.
The director line-up this time includes Rodney Asher (coming off his doc on The Shining, Room 237), animator Bill Plympton, Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube), The Last Winter director Larry Fessenden, Cheap Thrills‘ E.L. Katz, and more. The first trailer has now landed today going under the “extreme red band” moniker as it highlights the gruesome and flat-out odd proceedings to come. Landing on VOD on October 2nd and in theaters on October 21st, check it out below, along with the full directors list and poster.
