Even His Horror Is Short

Something's Eating Danny DeVito

We're all familiar with Danny DeVito's comedic work, but his horror movies will make you think you're on a Taxi ride to hell. 

DeVito's affection for horror films has been eating at him since childhood. "My sisters would take me [to see horror films]," he remembers, "because they loved to see me duck under the seats and get full of the sticky candy that was on the floor." Later his tastes evolved into a passion for "the over the top kind of operatic movies. I loved Mario Bava, a really wonderful Italian director, and then...the genres that we all get off on now, like John Carpenter, The Halloweens. I love to go to the movies and squirm around a bit."

A few years back, he decided it was time to take a stab at making some horror films of his own. Teaming up with a childhood friend, he started TheBloodFactory.com. There you can see shorts about an aborted fetus that gets revenge on the doctor who tried to kill it, and a housewife who coaches her husband's listening skills by cutting off his ears.

DeVito will be on hand at San Diego Comic-Con 2010 to meet fans at The Blood Factory's booth on Friday, July 23rd. Attend the Blood Factory panel at 9:30 that night, and he'll premiere four new fearsome films he directed. For a preview, catch Danny's Comic-Con 2010 promo and you'll see it's not so much about what's eating Danny Devito. It's who.
