Splatter (web series)

Splatter is a 2009 interactive short horror web series directed by Joe Dante produced by Roger Corman and starring Corey Feldman.

[1] The film aired over 3 parts on October 29, November 6 and 13, and was subsequently combined into a single 29 minute segment.

[1][2] In October 2019, the film website Trailers from Hell released all ten variations of the series, giving the viewer the option of whom to kill next.

After committing suicide, a washed-up rocker returns from the grave to torment the five people who betrayed him in life.

“I wanted to see if I could do this stuff again,” said Corman, who had made feature films in such short time spans before.

Ours was their test case to prove that they could stream material successfully to people’s computers, and so they were partners on the series, but when time came to pick up the entire series for redistribution beyond its first screening, they only wanted the three episodes that appeared on their site, the ones the audience voted for – we owned the rights to the rest of them.

When the writer, Richard C Matheson, wrote the original story, he didn’t account for every single possibility of transitions depending on where people were and whether they were existing or not… So it was quite a jigsaw puzzle to edit.
