ShoulderHill Entertainment co-founder Steven Addair announced a quintet of fright features the company will be shooting soon under the banner of Five Flix to Fear. All five of the Flix, which run the gamut of horror sub-genres, will be lensed in 3D.
“Fans of horror are so underestimated, and that’s exactly what Five Flix to Fear is about—not underestimating the fans,” Addair says “There’s nothing like having the lights go down and watching a good horror movie. It’s our job to give them something they’ll enjoy.”
The lineup is as follows:
• Otis, written and to be directed by Halloween: H20 and 5ive Days To Midnight co-scripter Robert Zappia, is a variation on the Beauty and the Beast story in which the former is a sorority girl and the latter is a disfigured teen who supposedly died 30 years earlier.
• Reactor 4, scripted by Nicholl finalist Sam Strachman and Addair,...

ShoulderHill Films has optioned best-selling author and screenwriter Andrew Klavan’s screenplay Bury the Dead.
The film is a supernatural thriller that centers around a young couple who stumble upon an odd and slightly creepy village. Once there, they witness a “bizarre ritual killing,” before realizing that the next victim could be them.
Producers on the film are aiming to begin production in late 2010.
Klavan is probably best known for his work as an author of bestselling novels. His best-known book is True Crime, which was later developed into a film directed by Clint Eastwood. And that’s not the only instance of Klavan’s work being transposed onto the big screen — his novel Don’t Say A Word was also turned into a 20th Century Fox release starring Michael Douglas and Brittany Murphy.
Despite working primarily in the world of literature, Klavan also has some limited experience penning screenplays.

And another new film project out of the UK came to our attention today: best-selling author and screenwriter Andrew Klavan's Bury the Dead, which has been optioned by ShoulderHill Films, a subsidiary of ShoulderHill Entertainment.
Per ShoulderHill's website the supernatural thriller/horror film tells the story of a young couple who wander into a strange village where they witness a bizarre ritual killing and realize they may be next in line.
The film is scheduled to begin production in late 2010 with ShoulderHill's co-founder, Steven Addair, attached to direct. "Andrew is a fantastic writer who creates such an evocative mood. Bury the Dead is a story of sin and retribution. I believe it's a chilling tale that will resonate with people," said Addair.
Klavan's name should be familiar to horror fans as his previous screenplays include One Missed Call, starring Ed Burns and Shannyn Sossamon.
We'll have more on Bury the Dead as it comes.
