Cineverse forms Bloody Press publishing arm

Cineverse announced plans to expand the company’s revenue-generating opportunities in audio and publishing. Under the direction of the Bloody Disgusting team at Cineverse, Bloody Press is the new publishing arm of the company, focused on creating and bringing audiobooks, e-books and print editions to market. The division’s first title, an adaptation of 2022’s instant cult slasher success, Terrifier 2, will debut in February 2024. It will be penned by Tim Waggoner, and available in all of the above formats, furthering the horror icon status of Art the Clown in new ways. The company also plans to follow this with novelizations of the original Terrifier and of the upcoming Terrifier 3, launching day-and-date with next year’s theatrical premiere of the latter on October 25, 2024. A collectible three-volume set is expected to then be available for the holidays. The Cineverse Podcast Network, which has shown record success driven by its horror-focused audio content under the ‘Bloody FM’ banner, is now actively developing programming across the anime and general entertainment categories. To lead the charge, the company has appointed Bloody Disgusting’s Tom Owen to the new position of managing director of audio, and Pacific Obadiah to head of original programming for the Cineverse Podcast Network.
