SDCC 2025: NEON’s “Next Wave of Horror” Panel features Osgood Perkins, Tatiana Maslany, Michael Shanks, Dave Franco, Alison Brie, and Chris Stuckmann
NEON, the award-winning studio and leader in the independent horror space, will host the “Next Wave of Horror” panel on Friday, July 25th at this year’s Comic-Con International. It will feature exclusive sneak footage and a discussion with Osgood Perkins, Tatiana Maslany, Michael Shanks, Dave Franco, Alison Brie, and Chris Stuckmann.
After revolutionizing the independent horror landscape with LONGLEGS which grossed over $100 million globally, NEON has proven to be an incredibly versatile independent distributor. With TOGETHER, SHELBY OAKS, and KEEPER, the studio will usher in a thrilling, fresh wave of horror that delivers something for every kind of scare lover.
Michael Shank’s body horror love story TOGETHER had audiences raving and squirming in their seats at Sundance and SXSW. Featuring knockout performances from Dave Franco and Alison Brie like you’ve never seen them before. TOGETHER is one of the most anticipated horror films of the year with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The story follows Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) years into their relationship, finding themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh. TOGETHER is in theaters nationwide on July 30th.
Youtube film critic Chris Stuckmann steps into the director role with his long-awaited found footage horror film, SHELBY OAKS. After garnering an overwhelming amount of online support through a kickstarter campaign, SHELBY OAKS has gained an unprecedented following with critics calling it “one of the best horror debuts” and “creepy as all hell”. Stuckmann co-wrote the script about a woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister. She falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. Stuckmann’s directorial debut will be in theaters October 3rd.
Scare aficionado Osgood Perkins’ collaboration with NEON continues, descending deeper into darkness with his eerie new trip, KEEPER. Starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, KEEPER is an intimate tale that is dripping with Perkins’ signature dread and is slated to be in theaters this Fall. In addition to the panel, Perkins will be autographing NEON’s THE MONKEY collector figurine at the Unbox Industries booth between 12:00pm and 1:30pm PT on Friday, July 25th. Dubbed “The Bloody Variant,” this exclusive limited edition will only be available to purchase from NEON’s online shop at https://www.neonrated.com/shop and picked up during Comic-con® (July 24-27) while supplies last.
