Hold onto Your Seats, Horror Fans!

So, it seems like our buddy Zach Cregger isn’t done creeping us out yet. After serving us spine-chilling thrills with his solo debut Barbarian, he’s gearing up to dive deep into the twisted tales of Ohio with his next flick. Yep, that’s right!

What’s Cooking in Cregger’s Kettle?

Cregger is all set to produce Torso, which is based on that quirky little indie comic from 1998 brought to life by the fabulous duo, Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko. If you haven’t heard about it yet, you might want to pull up your favorite blanket and prepare for some unsettling stories!

Who’s in the Mix?

According to reports (you know, those reliable rumor mills), Cregger will be teaming up with Roy Lee from Vertigo Entertainment, plus Alex Hedlund and Nick Antosca. If those names sound familiar, it’s because they are the masterminds behind some of those chilling true crime series. So, we can expect some deliciously dark treats from this team!

Netflix and Thrills!

Oh, and did I mention they’re making this chilling adventure for Netflix? Yep, get ready for a movie that’s likely to take on a moodier, thrill-a-minute vibe instead of matching the comic’s more grounded horror. And honestly, isn’t that kind of exciting?

A Tale Worth Telling

Bendis, the comic wizard, has had Hollywood gazing longingly at Torso for ages. And you’d understand why once you hear the story! It’s about Eliot Ness in the 1930s, post-licorice showdown with Al Capone, snooping around the grimy streets of Cleveland, trying to piece together a series of revolting murders. Imagine detectives scratching their heads while all they find is… you guessed it, torsos! Yep, talk about a gruesome mystery!

Comic Book Magic

One of the coolest things about Torso is the way it reads—it’s like flipping through a movie script! Bendis has this signature quippy dialogue that’ll leave you either chuckling or cringing, while combining mixed media that brings a unique flavor to those shadowy illustrations. It’s almost like watching a twisted flick unfold before your eyes!

The Big Question

So, will Cregger finally crack the code and bring Torso to life? Or will this venture simply add another dark notch to a saga filled with failed adaptations? Only time will tell, my friends!
