Say bye bye to The Bye Bye Man, release date pushed back until December

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

THE BYE BYE MAN is certainly an indecisive fellow, isn't he? Originally slated for release this October, the flick – from HOOD OF HORROR director Stacy Title – was then moved to June. But now the film has bounced even further back, changing its release date to December 9, 2016.

December is a decent place for horror, considering that that's when SCREAM made its premiere back in 1996, but could THE BYE BYE MAN really have been scared away from a cushy summer slot by TMNT 2 and POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING? They don't exactly have the same demographic. I suspect the studios are going to put a little more spit and polish on this paranormal shocker behind the scenes.

THE BYE BYE MAN is about:

Three college students who move off-campus and unwittingly unleash a supernatural entity.

The three college students will be played by Douglas Smith (STAGE FRIGHT), Cressida Bonas, and Lucien Laviscount (Scream Queens).

The film also stars Carrie-Anne Moss (THE MATRIX), Faye Dunaway (BONNIE AND CLYDE, CHINATOWN), Michael Trucco (HUSH), and Doug Jones (PAN'S LABYRINTH) as the titular entity.
