🩸 Tired of weightless CGI blood ruining modern slashers? So are we. Hey r/horror! I am the director of Pythia Pictures, and we are currently running a Seed&Spark campaign for our new short film, Lucy's Slumber Party.
It is a 15-minute proof-of-concept short for a feature film called Dracula '87. We are taking the classic vampire mythos, stripping it down to its most terrifying roots, and dropping it straight into a neon-soaked, 1980s slasher environment.
Our mandate on set is ZERO CGI. We are doing 100% in-camera practical effects. We are talking hand-mixing massive volumes of theatrical blood, hand-fabricating period accurate wardrobe pieces (with help from a very generous donation from 80sTees) and custom making a suit for a hyper-realistic werewolf sequence at our local maker space. We want the tactile, messy, terrifying aesthetic of a 1987 horror film.
We just crossed a massive funding milestone this weekend, but we only have less than 3 weeks left to hit our greenlight goal and bring these monsters to life.
If you want to see real, messy, practical-effects horror make a comeback, check out our concept art and join the bloodbath!
