Genre giant NEON is hosting a special Next Wave of Horror panel at San Diego's Comic-Con International later this month, bringing the cast and crew of some of the studio's upcoming horror hits together for discussions and sneak peek footage.
Joining the Next Wave of Horror panel on July 25 are Osgood Perkins (Longlegs, The Monkey) and Tatiana Maslany for the mysterious upcoming Keeper, Together’s writer/director Michael Shanks, stars/producers Dave Franco and Alison Brie, and Shelby Oaks’ debut feature filmmaker, Chris Stuckmann. The panel will also give fans a sneak peek at exclusive footage from all three of these upcoming films.
In addition to the panel, collectors might want to head over to the Unbox Industries booth between 12:00pm and 1:30pm PT on July 25, where Perkins will be autographing NEON’s The Monkey collector figurine There's also an exclusive new limited edition version of the sinister simian, dubbed “The Bloody Variant,” that is only available to purchase from NEON’s online shop and picked up during Comic-Con.
It's been a killer couple of years for NEON, with Perkins' Longlegs generating $128 million on a $10 million budget, with a $75 million domestic haul making it the top grossing independent film of the year. Shanks' Together looks like it could also be tracking for success, currently boasting 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Shelby Oaks, the Mike Flanagan-produced found-footage horror from Stuckmann, is already off to a strong start before wide release, having raised over $1.3 million from fans for funding and doubling the record for “the most-funded horror project” in Kickstarter history.
