"Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we're opened, we're red."

Hulu recently announced that its upcoming film adaptation of Clive Barker's Books of Blood will premiere on the streaming service on October 7, and we now have a much better idea of what to expect thanks to a creepy full trailer.

This was originally set to be developed as a TV series that would have (presumably) adapted as many of the short stories from Barker's collection of books as possible, but this feature will only focus on three. We're not sure which ones, but the trailer does suggest that "The Book of Blood" and "On Jerusalem Street" will be adapted.

The Hellraiser writer's Books of Blood also featured the likes of Rawhead Rex, Midnight Meat Train (both of which were previously adapted as features), The Yattering and Jack, and The Forbidden, which influenced 1992's Candyman.

Brannon Braga directed, co-wrote and executive produced along with The Orville collaborator with Seth MacFarlane. The cast members announced so far are: Andy McQueen (Fahrenheit 451), Freda Foh Shen (Ad Astra), Nicholas Campbell (Da Vinci’s Inquest), Anna Friel (Marcella), Britt Robertson (For the People), Rafi Gavron (A Star Is Born) and Yul Vazquez (Midnight, Texas).

Check out the trailer below along with a synopsis, and let us know if you plan on tuning in for Books of Blood this October.

“Written by Braga and Adam Simon (Salem) based on a short story by Barker with contributing original material, Books of Blood takes a journey into uncharted and forbidden territory through three tales tangled in space and time.”

This does not feel like Clive Barker at all.

I read the Books of Blood and Imajica as a kid. Barker is kinda weird.

I tapped out at about 1:45. Just felt too typical, and I lost patience with the obvious silent suspense build.

As a book Books of Blood fan, I'm torn. I want this to be great but this trailer has me worried.

@dracula - I don't think thisll hurt them any. They had a Ken Doll on the movie prior and that didnt lose them anything.......to my knowledge

I read the Books of Blood around 25 years ago. Trippiest shit you'll ever read.

This looks like typical Hollywood trash TBH, and nothing like those stories.

Every modern horror movie has the same tone at least from the trailers because I havent seen any of them. Paranormal activity, The Conjuring, etc. All cheap jump scares now.
