More accurately, major studios put a pause on big-budget slashers. In the meantime, indie filmmakers like Greg Huson kept the subgenre from disappearing altogether; his movie Shredder was one of several last dying breaths for old-fashioned, original slashers before splatter films and remakes began to flourish.

Animus Cross is most definitely delving into unchartered territory. You won't find any traditional web fare here—no scantily clad teens, silly jokes, or other web one-offs. Instead, in its first episode, Animus Cross begins to unfold the trappings of a much deeper story. Set in the post-Antebellum Northwest, and starring Jerry L. Buxbaum, Harold Phillips, Jeff Hime, Trish Egan, and Kathryne Bukowski, Animus Cross promises to be the web series worlds' first historical thriller. Creator A.L.
