WWE Studios Teaming With Gene Simmons For Horror Label

March 27, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

– WWE and Gene Simmons are getting into business together, but luckily it won’t be for a wrestling KISS Demon. Variety reports that WWE Studios and Simmons are teaming up to launch a new horror film imprint, Erebus Pictures.

The label already has three films in development with the first, Temple beginning production this summer. The film is written by Matt Savelloni and follows a team of trained operatives who find themselves trapped inside an isolated military compound after its artificial intelligence is suddenly shut down — and then begin to experience strange and horrific phenomena.

Simmons said, “The horror genre continues to fascinate me as it proves to be endlessly thrilling and engaging for audiences.”

WWE Studios president Michael Luisi added, “Horror films fall into a genre that thrives on genuine passion, and I believe this partnership truly capitalizes on that sentiment and supports our vision.”
