10 Actors That You Never Knew Produced Horror Movies

4. Mel Gibson - Stonehearst Asylum (2014)

Stoneheart Asylum Mel Gibson
Millennium Films

Though after the infamous and well-publicised issues in his personal life Mel Gibson has tended to stay behind the camera in recent years, Gibson has been involved in film production since the 1990s with his company Icon Productions. 

One of his more recent projects as a producer was the period horror movie Stonehearst Asylum (released in some countries as Eliza Graves), which stars Kate Beckinsale, Michael Caine, and Ben Kingsley. The psychological thriller depicts a mad doctor who mistreats the patients in his asylum.

Despite the talent involved, Stonehearst Asylum received a very limited release. Though it grossed over $3 million worldwide it was not a financial success. As a distributor Icon has released horror films like Buried (2010) and You're Next (2011) in international markets. Those two low-budget horror movies were extremely financially successful, at least much more so than Stonehearst Asylum.
