Filmmaker, Comedian, Actor & YouTuber; Director of "Obsession"
Curry Barker Biography
Curry Barker is a filmmaker, comedian, actor, and writer known for his contributions to horror cinema. Barker's work spans filmmaking, comedy, and performance, with a particular focus on the horror genre. In an interview, Barker shared that his interest in horror began at a young age after watching "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" at age 11, which inspired his pursuit of the genre.
While attending film school, Barker met Cooper Tomlinson, and together they left school to focus on independent projects, leading to the creation of the social sketch comedy channel "That's a Bad Idea." Barker is part of a group of writer-directors, including Jordan Peele and Zach Cregger, who transitioned from sketch comedy to horror filmmaking.
Barker's career began with a series of independent projects that showcased his command of cinematic storytelling. He wrote and directed the horror short film "The Chair," which gained significant attention on YouTube with more than 10 million views. Barker also directed the found footage horror film "Milk & Serial," which he released on YouTube after seeking distribution, where it achieved viral success. These projects attracted the attention of industry producers and established Barker as a filmmaker with a strong grasp of cinematic language.
Barker's film "Obsession" screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and was acquired by Focus Features. The supernatural horror film, produced on a $750,000 budget, opened to $16 million at the box office and grossed $300.4 million worldwide. In addition to directing and writing, Barker serves as editor on his films, maintaining creative control over his projects.
Following the success of "Obsession," Barker directed and co-wrote the feature horror film "Anything but Ghosts," in which he also co-starred. The film features Aaron Paul, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Violet McGraw, and was produced by Jason Blum, Roy Lee, and Steven Schneider through Blumhouse Productions and Spooky Pictures. Barker was also selected to write and direct a reboot of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with A24 Films. Universal Pictures acquired his next directorial project, an original horror film produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster.
Barker's trajectory from self-taught YouTube filmmaker to a sought-after director in Hollywood highlights his impact on the horror film industry and his ongoing influence as a writer, director, and editor.
