A further “slew” cameos that writer and director Hersh said would “excite any horror fan” are yet to be announced. “I’ve been working on this project for a while now and I’m so excited to see it all coming together,” he added. “I’m just blown away by how many talented people believed the vision and signed on to be a part of this wild ride with me and I can’t wait to share more about this project soon.”
Hersh is producing alongside Doug Hawley (Sweetest Day) and Pablo Macho Maysonet IV (Await the Dawn) with Fox, Gustin and Corcoran serving as consulting producers.
Teichmann said, “As soon as I read the script for If it Bleeds, I knew this was going to be a very special moment for the horror genre,” while Mangin added, “This is my first time acting in an actual horror movie, and I loved every second of filming If it Bleeds. There was a lot of physical acting, crazy camera angles, and timed out moves, which was challenging, but I was totally up for it.”
