"Actress Catherine Corcoran just took her breach of contract dispute with "Terrifier" director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone to a Los Angeles federal court on Sunday. But allegations that the filmmaking duo has been bullying " Terrifier" contributors out of their fair credit and compensation predate Corcoran's new claim. Several accusers point to disagreements over "Terrifier" merchandising, a critical element in the pending legal case that may jeopardize the future of the lucrative slasher series."
""It doesn't surprise me," said an anonymous source who worked at Dread Presents, the in-house movie studio for the horror brand Dread Central, which released the first "Terrifier" in 2018. "Damien's a strong personality. I have respect for him. He's nice enough in person, but when it comes to doing business, he's savage." "I don't buy the excuse that they're from New York or New Jersey or whatever," said another, who also worked at Dread Presents then."
Catherine Corcoran filed a breach of contract lawsuit against "Terrifier" director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone in Los Angeles federal court, alleging breach of contract and sexual misconduct. Multiple former contributors accuse the filmmaking duo of bullying collaborators out of fair credit and compensation, with disputes over "Terrifier" merchandising central to the litigation and the franchise's future. Former Dread Presents employees described Leone as a strong personality who can be "savage" in business. Leone and Falcone denied Corcoran's allegations through The Hollywood Reporter and did not respond to IndieWire requests for comment. Epic Pictures acquired the film in 2017.
