Clive Barker’s Books of Blood is getting quite a few film treatments, with the first one already out – The Midnight Meat Train. The second is the titular short story itself – Books of Blood – which is due out sometime next year. The third was announced a while earlier – Dread. Now, it appears that the big-screen adaptation of Dread has begun filming and will hopefully be out next year.

It is being directed by Anthony Diblasi, who also penned the screenplay, and stars Jackson Rathbone, fresh off his role in Twilight, along with Shaun Evans, Hanne Steen and Laura Donnelly.

The short story focused on three college students who begin to study people’s fears, and as it progressed, one of them began to seek salvation from his obsession by exploiting the terrors of his fellow students.

Barker himself is serving as producer on the film. It will be shot for five weeks on location in London.
