Something in the Dirt is essentially an omnibus film of all our wildest ideas of a ‘haunting’ that we dug up from that graveyard.” “They would ask us to give our strangest, wildest, most left of center ideas, which in the end was usually too left of center for them. “For years we have been asked to pitch on maybe a dozen different haunted house franchises,” said Moorhead. But when it came to developing an idea for a unique feature, the two simply recalled some of the pitches they had offered to other studios. Directed by and starring Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, the film is a testament to Moorhead and Benson’s friendship as well as their passion for unique, out of the box stories.īoth Benson and Moorhead are no strangers to directing, having each served in that role on a wide range of projects, including episodes of both Disney’s Moon Knight as well as Netflix’ Archive 81.
