It’s been a very long time since I was excited about anything that ended in “of the Dead”, but here were are. No, this isn’t the latest Romero namesake cash-in, this is a brand new project coming to us from one of the most promising indie horror studios in the business, Black Fawn Films. Having filmed horror jams like Bite, The Drownsman, Antisocial, Antisocial 2, The Sublet, and the recently announced Let Her Out, I was excited to see some brand new (and fairly gruesome) images arrive in my inbox earlier this afternoon for their upcoming title BED OF THE DEAD.

The film is being directed by directorial newcomer Jeff Maher, who had the following to say about the project:

I remember as a child running and leaping into my bed to avoid being grabbed by some terrible thing underneath. I was a good 60% sure there was a ghoul down there who wanted to consume me. These sorts of very real fears are dismissed as we get older but they never really go away, they hide in our unconscious. In making Bed of the Dead I wanted to explore these childhood fears because really… you don’t know if there is someone under your bed, or in your closet, watching you sleep. Bumps in the night, sleep paralysis, home invasion…the bedroom, the place where you sleep, it’s where you are you’re most vulnerable…to the ghouls.

Check out the new images below along with the official plot synopsis of the film, and let us know what you think!

Four twentysomethings find themselves stuck on a haunted antique bed where leaving means suffering a gruesome death. Plagued with frightening hallucinations, they must figure out the bed’s secrets before they are ultimately picked off one by one.
