Expanding his involvement in the film industry, he produced and starred in the horror film Beg in 2010, a project that reunited him with his Halloween co-star P.J. Soles. He continued to be a fixture in the horror genre, appearing in Dead Bounty in 2014 and later portraying Don Ruggero Corbucci in The Ungovernable Force in 2015. That same year, he featured as a convict in the music video for Slayer’s ‘Repentless’ and performed stunt work for Haunting in New England in 2016.
Looking ahead, Moran is set to appear in two anticipated films: Clown Motel: 3 Ways to Hell, expected in 2025, and The Haunting of Darkenwell: Devil’s Night, further extending his legacy within the horror genre and demonstrating his continued commitment to engaging storytelling.
