UPDATE: HD Films Making Online ‘Creepshow’ Series
First images inside! We received an e-mail this morning with a “rumor” that HD Films Inc has acquired the rights to Stephen King and George A. Romero’s CREEPSHOW franchise and plans on turning it into an online series. We can confirm this news as we know a few people involved in the project – and some shooting has already taken place! Read on for the skinny from our scooper and the first images.
“It’s rumor at this point, but it seems that HD Films Inc (http://www.hdfilms.com), based in Burbank CA, have secured the rights to the CREEPSHOW franchise (originally launched by Stephen King & George A. Romero back in 1982), and are teasing a new internet-based anthology series based upon the format of the original movie titled CREEPSHOW RAW,” writes B-D tipster Nicholas.
“Though nothing is 100% concrete just yet, it seems highly likely that the new series will be moving ahead as I have uncovered three teaser images.” Coming soon.
“The man heading the potential new series is Jace Hall – who is known for some of the most terrifying video game franchises of all-time including F.E.A.R, Blood, Condemned: Criminal Origins & Alien vs. Predator 2. So there is certainly a lot for horror fans to be excited about!”
Hopefully I will be receiving more information over the coming weeks.

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
