Christopher Young Scores New David Prior Horror Film THE EMPTY MAN

THE EMPTY MAN is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by David Prior. Based on a 2014 Boom! Studios comic book of the same title by writer Cullen Bunn and artist Vanesa R. Del Rey, the film follows a group of teens from a small Midwestern town who begin to mysteriously disappear. The locals believe it is the work of an urban legend known as The Empty Man. As a retired cop investigates and struggles to make sense of the stories, he discovers a secretive group and their attempts to summon a horrific, mystical entity, and soon his life—and the lives of those close to him—are in grave danger.

 The film features a soundtrack by veteran genre maestro Christopher Young. “Working with director David Prior was an absolute honor, his vision and my music was a perfect marriage,” Young said in a twitter post earlier tonight.

THE EMPTY MAN will be theatrically released on October 23, 2020, by 20th Century Studios.
