The Providence Journal reports that Director Michael Corrente is starting pre-production on an animated Horror film. 

Corrente and the three-man team from The Story Hat, based on Weybosset Street in Providence, will begin preproduction this week on a computer-animated horror film called Bloodline, which tells the story of tattoos that grow and change and wreak havoc on their bearers. The film, which could take upwards of 16 months to create, is touted by Corrente as “the first American animated feature-length [computer-generated imagery] horror movie ever made.” “You couldn’t do this in live action. It wouldn’t work. These elements come together perfectly and are suited for animation. Because you can watch it grow and actually morph into something really scary,” Corrente said. “You take that, and throw in a great story … and it was electrifying to me. I just thought this was a no-brainer. It’ll work.”   

 The Horror genre has not been attempted in animation as of yet but we are aware of at least 1 other production company that has an animated horror film in development.
