2023 has been another great year for horror thus far. March has seen the return of Ghostface, but Scream’s not the only horror icon having some killer fun this year. In April, Dracula will be making his bloodsucking return in a horror comedy that puts a new spin on Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula", which featured R. M. Renfield as a supporting character. The horror comedy from director Chris McKay puts all the focus on Dracula’s manservant Renfield played by Nicholas Hoult .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The new images were shared to Schwartz’s Instagram showing a crime boss that looks like a cross between The Joker and Tommy Lee Jones’ Two-Face from Batman Forever. The light magenta suit and cheetah print undershirt really give us a good feeling of what this criminal is all about. He may be very fashionable and materialistic, but Teddy means business duel wielding two pistols as he terrorizes a nightclub.
While Schwartz is best known for his comedic genius in shows like Parks and Rec, Space Force, Duck Tales, and the Sonic the Hedgehog films, it's going to be exciting to see the actor take on a much darker role. Even though this is a horror comedy, Schwartz has never really gotten the chance to play a full-on villain. Renfield is going hard-R with the blood and gore. Imagining Schwartz in that kind of absurd horror playground is just smile inducing.
This film also features a killer ensemble cast. In addition to Hoult and Schwartz, this 21st century horror story stars Awkwafina and Nicolas Cage as The Prince of Darkness himself. Like Hoult, Cage has made a name for himself in the horror genre recently with modern gems like Mandy, Color Out of Space, and Willy’s Wonderland. However, whoever had the idea of having Cage play Dracula deserves a raise as it's a match made in genre heaven.
When Does Renfield Release? Renfield is scaring its way to theaters on April 14, 2023. While horror fans anxiously wait for Dracula’s return to the big screen, you can view Schwartz’s sinister photos down below:
