‘A Quiet Place’ Writers to Write/Direct ‘Haunt’, Produced By Eli Roth
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods – the writing duo behind the secretive upcoming horror/thriller A Quiet Place – will write and direct a new horror movie titled Haunt. Sierra/Affinity (Nightcrawler, Atomic Blonde) will finance and produce.
As reported by Deadline, Todd Garner will produce via Broken Road with Mark Fasano of Nickel City, Ankur Rungta and Vishal Rungta. Horror genre legend Eli Roth will also be a producer on the film.
Sierra/Affinity’s Marc Schaberg and Josie Liang, Broken Road’s Jeremy Stein and Nickel City’s Tobias Weymar will executive produce.
The plot for A Quiet Place – which will be the major studio directorial debut for actor John Krasinski – has been kept under wraps. The film stars John Krasinski (The Office, 13 Hours) and his real-life wife, Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow, Looper).
The secrecy surrounding A Quiet Place certainly has my interest piqued. It’s currently set for an April 6 release date. A Quiet Place is produced by Platinum Dunes (The Purge Series, Ouija: Origin of Evil, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2003] and Friday the 13th [2009]) and Paramount.
The synopsis for Haunt is as follows;
On Halloween, a group of friends encounter an “extreme” haunted house that promises to feed on their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some nightmares are real.
It sounds like there are shades of The Houses October Built here, so I’m curious to see where they go and what they do with it. And with Eli Roth on board, hell, I am too.
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods are also known for writing/directing Nightlight, where “Five friends play a game in a ”mysterious” forest with a long history as a beacon for troubled young people contemplating suicide.”
Production for Haunt will begin in the fall. Stay tuned for news and information as it comes!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
