We’ve been celebrating horror all year as one of the few genres in Hollywood where original storytelling is, not only alive, but thriving significantly. This is honestly thanks to one of the biggest indie studios in the market: Neon. They have had several incredible horror hits in the past few months, from last year’s Longlegs to this week’s Together. To celebrate their strong slate of horror films, they took to the stages of Ballroom 20 at Comic-Con to discuss what’s coming next!

Samara Weaving is the queen of survival horror! I don’t care if that’s a hot take, as everyone has their favorite scream queen/final girl, but after Ready or Not, she’s most definitely mine. Now she’s back with a film that has so far garnered amazing reception out of SXSW this year, Azrael.
