SAN DIEGO Safran Digital Group and Microsoft have struck a deal through which some of the leading directors in horror/supernatural filmmaking will try their hands at comedy as the first original programming on Xbox Live.

The directors involved include James Wan (Saw), David Slade (30 Days of Night), James Gunn (Slither), Lucky McKee (May), Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror) and Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). They’ll provide films running less than 10 minutes that will debut this fall worldwide in HD with the launch of the new Xbox Live Experience user interface.
