Fangoria Brings Horror Screenplay ‘After Birth’ to Life
Parenting is notoriously difficult, especially when it’s for a Frankenstein’s monster version of an infant. I can’t imagine trying to piece together your own baby from scratch (outside of conception) being an easy or clean task. This is why Fangoria’s newest film After Birth will prove to be a film worth seeing for parents who may have constructed their own Franken-baby, but need tips and tricks on how to keep it alive.
The screenplay, originally by Laura Moss (Fry Day and Rising Up: The Story of the Zombie Rights Movement) and Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), After Birth will be directed by Moss, is being financially backed by Fangoria, reports Deadline. Alongside Moss, Mali Elfman (Before I Wake) is set to produce in addition to Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk and Dragged Across Concrete) and Amanda Presmyk (Puppet Master: Littlest Reich and Dragged Across Concrete) for Fangoria and Cinestate. Fangoria will have the role of executive producers assigned to Phil Nobile Jr. (Killer Profile and Halloween: The Inside Story) and Clay Neigher (Satanic Panic (pre-production)). The team provided will be in charge of this touching mother-daughter horror fest of gore and quality parenting.
Detailed by Deadline‘s article, After Birth is about a morgue technician who is able to galvanize the corpse of a baby girl; however, while the little spawn is alive for now, it cannot survive by natural means like any other newborn infant. In order to keep the little girl alive, the technician turned mad scientist must gather the necessary biological components to give the Frankenbaby. Consequently, the bio-parts needed to keep the girl alive must come from pregnant women.
Unfortunately for our new-age Frankenstein, the girl’s mother discovers that the child has been brought back to life by unethical means. Thankfully for the Morgue technician, the two are able to lead to an agreement that guarantees that they will embark on a nightmarish journey that there’s no turning back from.
After Birth promises to be one hell of an interesting ride, an innovative take on the age-old tale of Frankenstein that’s been reinvented countless times. Fangoria has also announced they will be backing an episodic horror comedy series featuring Barbara Crampton, which you can read our article covering that here!

Netflix Releases First BTS ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ Footage
It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.
Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:
“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”
Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

Live Action Scooby-Doo Reboot Series In Works at Netflix
The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.
If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.
Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.
Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.
Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.
Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
