'Dread' Viral Campaign Begins With Creepy Art?
Tuesday, August 5, 2008

This morning we received a very peculiar email from a reader who calls himself 'Quaid'. What was inside was a piece of art and a story behind the work, with the word DREAD capitalized. Could this be the start of a viral campaign for the latest Clive Barker "Books of Blood" adaptation, which is to be directed by Anthony DiBlasi in September? Inside you can check out the Dread art, or click the title for a synopsis of the story.

This is a picture I painted of a girl named Abby. She has a port-wine birthmark covering half her body: her leg, her stomach, her breast, her face... Abby's going to participate in our fear study - going to share with us her deepest DREAD. Abby learned at a very young age that she would always be an object of scrutiny... she confided in me, and all she wants is to be normal. Would you like to be part of our fear study?

Dread? That's the one with the man starving the vegetarian, right? I just hope Lionsgate stays the hell away from this one.

Interesting! But not that Creepy!

I think it looks a lot more promising than The Midnight Meat Train.

The story sounds really promising and thought prevoking...in theory this movie could be awesome. I hope so.

I really don't think Dread is feature film material; the story itself (I thought) had a weak ending and there really wasn't much going on. But hey, they made The Midnight Meat Train (though it will be awhile before I get to see it, damn-it!).

My comment didn't seem quite right at the end there: I did like The Midnight Meat Train story, just not Dread so much.

Dread is a great Barker story ,perfect to be made into a feature. I cant wait for this one.

I'm just happy because it is FAR more original than the generic rip-off that was The Midnight Meat Train.

Looks more like a Barker painting to me.
