The Shed was an official selection at the Sitges International Film Festival and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and starsJay Jay Warren, Cody Kostro, Sofia Happonen, Frank Whaley, and Timothy Bottoms.

"I set out to create a horror film that was fun, cool, and meaningful but most of all make vampires feel scary again," Sabatella tells SYFY WIRE."In recent years most vampires on screen have been either very sexy and smooth or more on the comedic side. I wanted to take vampires seriously and make them deadly, vicious, and primal, letting those elements work together to create the horror and be the catalyst for drama and tragedy.

"We shot The Shedin Syracuse, N.Y,and it was an amazing location and an incredibly fun shoot. We found this awesome abandoned house by accident that was not on our location scout list.Once we located the property owners and made our offer, they were happy to let us shoot there and do whatever we wanted to the house. Which included cutting holes in the walls, mounting lights directly into ceiling beams, and cutting a gigantic hole in the ceiling to create an entrance to an attic where there was none."

The Shed was inspired by some of Sabatella'sfavorite vampire films, likeThe Lost Boys, Fright Night, Near Dark, and the '70s TVminiseries of Salems Lot.

"I drew a lot of atmosphere inspiration from Near Dark and the burning effect on the vampires as well," he adds."The Lost Boys gave me inspiration for some of the tone and style of the film and the look of the vampires as they evolve. Fright Night influenced some of the concept of the 'boy vs. vampire'aspect, and Salems Lot inspired the imageryand tone of the writing. Stephen King isa huge influence on my work and how his brand of horror is often inflicted on ordinary small-town people."

The Shed begins streaming atShudder on Aug. 27.
