Apr 28, 2026 … Barker recently wrapped production on his next horror film, Anything But Ghosts, starring Aaron Paul. … Yeah, stop trying to make them scary and …
Mark your calendars, folks! Curry Barker is back, and he’s bringing the spooky with a side of laughs in his upcoming film, “Anything But Ghosts,” set to hit theaters on May 7, 2027. Yes, you read that right—2027! It’s like the film industry has decided to take the concept of a slow burn to a whole new level. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
Co-written by Barker himself and the talented Cooper Tomlinson, who also stars in the film, “Anything But Ghosts” promises to be a rollercoaster of thrills and chuckles. The movie features a star-studded cast, including the likes of Violet McGraw, Chris Reinacher, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the ever-appealing Aaron Paul. I mean, can we just take a moment to appreciate that lineup? It’s like a dream team of talent ready to tackle the supernatural with a smile.
So, what’s the plot, you ask? Well, it revolves around a group of aspiring ghost hunters who, in their quest for fame, find themselves tangled in increasingly terrifying situations. Because, you know, nothing screams ‘I want to be famous’ quite like chasing after ethereal beings that may or may not exist. It’s the classic tale of ambition meeting the unknown, with a sprinkle of horror-comedy to keep things light. Just imagine the conversations: “So, how did you get famous?” “Oh, I almost got haunted to death!”
The collaboration with Focus Features and Blumhouse Atomic Monster is sure to bring a unique flair to the film. Blumhouse is known for its ability to blend horror with humor, and with Barker at the helm, we can expect some clever writing and hilarious situations that make us laugh while simultaneously checking under our beds at night.
What’s particularly intriguing about this project is the genre mash-up. Horror-comedy is a delicate balance—too much of one can overshadow the other, but Barker and Tomlinson seem to have a knack for keeping that balance intact. It’s like making the perfect sandwich; you want just enough peanut butter to complement the jelly without drowning in it. If they pull it off, we could be in for a treat that’s both spooky and side-splitting.
While we wait for 2027 (seriously, it feels like an eternity), fans of Barker’s previous work can get excited about the potential for clever jokes and spine-tingling moments. If you loved his last film, “Obsession,” you’re probably already counting down the days until you can see what he has in store next. And if you didn’t love it, well, there’s always the hope that this one will be different—because who doesn’t love a good redemption story?
So, as we gear up for another adventure into the supernatural, let’s raise a glass (or a ghostly goblet) to Curry Barker and his team for what promises to be a wild ride. Here’s to hoping we’ll be laughing, screaming, and maybe even questioning our life choices all at once when “Anything But Ghosts” finally graces the big screen. May 2027, we’re ready for you—just don’t forget to bring the popcorn!
