You know bad things always happen in hospitals. Well, at least in creepy films they do.

Check out the details below about an upcoming "paranormal meets slasher" horror flick called, you guessed it, The Hospital.

From The Press Release:

Allied Horror, in association with Lazy Donkey Films, has begun pre-production on their new horror/paranormal masterpiece titled The Hospital, starring genre staples such as John Dugan (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Scott Tepperman (Ghost Hunters International), Jim O’Rear (The Dead Matter), and Daniel Emery Taylor (Return Of The Swamp Thing).

Known for horror hits such as Stephen King’s The Boogeyman, The Deepening, and Scream Farm, Allied Horror and Lazy Donkey Films promise to offer something that genre audiences haven’t seen before while, at the same time, incorporating familiar elements to delight horror fans everywhere.

The Hospital mixes the paranormal and slasher genres and can best...

Lazy Donkey Films has announced plans for an upcoming project titled The Hospital. Gathering some horror veterans and filming in locations rumored to be truly haunted, The Hospital is scheduled to begin production in August.

Hospitals are rarely settings for feel good moments. Sure, you've got the occasional exception to the rule like when, from her hospital bed, Adrian said, "Win, Rocky, win!" in Rocky II. But normally hospital scenes are more like what Shane discovered while trying to save Rick in the beginning of "The Walking Dead" or the unforgettable hospital moment from Let the Right One In. Now an entire film called The Hospital? That's gotta be trouble.

The film was written by Jim O'Rear and Daniel Emery Taylor. Taylor will also co-direct the film with Tommy Golden. To follow info on this film from day one, like the official The Hospital Facebook page.
