Producers Dallas Jackson, John Davis and Eminem (yes, famed rapper) are getting their hands bloody.

The trio are currently in development on an anthology project called Shady Talez and we've got the details:

From the mind of international Pop-Star, multi-Grammy winner, and the top selling artist of 2009 Eminem, comes the new horror franchise "Shady Talez".

"Shady Talez" is a fictional horror comic-book that literally sucks it's reader into it's very pages. Each horror story is a wink at an original classic such as "Christine", "Aliens", and "The Lost Boys" while Eminem puts his own dark spin on the genre playing multiple characters and introducing new stories to the new horror generation.


Writing the film is Kevin Grevioux, the co-creator of the Underworld franchise and co-star of the first and third entries. Shady Talez is due in 2011.

This certainly isn't the first time a rapper has crossed over into our genre. Let's not forget titles like Bones and Hood of Horror... Or, maybe we should.

I will admit that Eminem is one scary dude.

In my opinion rap music is its own kind of horror! But maybe that's just my own taste in music!

No, I don't like rap/hip-hop myself. It just makes me nervous!! I know Mickey has stated many times here that he is not a rap fan.

I'm sure there are others besides the 3 of us who don't like it.

Aside from maybe literally one or two songs I'm not into rap.

Same here. I did enjoy 8 Mile though.

Last month, we reported on Shady Talez, a new horror anthology being produced by Dallas Jackson, John Davis and rapper Eminem. In our initial post, we knew that Kevin Grevioux, the co-creator of the Underworld franchise would be scripting the pic.

According to Screen Daily, Eminem will be making his first on-screen performance since 2002's 8 Mile and that the flick, described as The Twilight Zone meets Creepshow will be in 3D.


Also of interest, Shady Talez is also being turned into a four-issue comic book series due out in 2010 under the Marvel Icons imprint that Jackson and Grevioux are writing together. Not surprising considering the Creepshow comparison.

Nope, it's not just you.

I really try to appreciate all genres of music but I cannot get into rap, period.

I don't begrudge anyone else who likes it, of course. But Eminem, well...let's just say if there were anyone who would be able to coax me into an appreciation of rap, he wouldn't be in the top Ten. Or one hundred.
