It’s obvious that the New York Comic-Con would be a hotbed of nerd activity, but I still find it shocking over just how much of that nerd energy is devoted to horror. From Eli Roth to Wes Craven to Stephen King, it appears that the convention was bursting with news from the world of horror. One unlikely name to add to that list would be Kevin Smith. As some of you may remember, Smith has been threatening to film a horror movie for a few months now. At the convention he solidified his stance somewhat by stating that he intends to shoot two films back-to-back within a year.

“The comedy we need some winter weather for us, so I imagine sometime post-January we’ll be shooting that. But the horror movie we don’t … need winter for, so I think we’ll be doing that kind of like soon. And then we’ll probably see which one is done first and put it out there.”

Smith has always been hit or miss for me, but I will be interested to see how someone does in a genre they’ve expressed a distaste for.
