It seems that, since we last reported on the horror anthology, one director has dropped out and three more have hopped on. Of course, the list of 25 directors isn’t really complete, as the 26th spot is being saved for the winner of the THE ABC’S OF DEATH’s global short contest.

Co-produced by Tim League of the Alamo Drafthouse (and it's newly minted Drafthouse Films) and Ant Timpson of Timpson Films, THE ABC'S OF DEATH will see 25 of the most interesting genre filmmakers working today, plus one competition winner, each tackle “a letter from the alphabet that represents a word to act as a springboard for a short story of death.” Here’s the updated list, which no longer contains DEADIGRL’s Gadi Harel, but does include THE BURROWERS’ JT Petty, PRINCESS’ Anders Morgenthaler and Mikael Wulff and BATTLEFIELD BASEBALL’s Yudai Yamaguchi.
