‘Half-O-Ween’ Slasher First Look at Killer Revealed
It was only matter of time, and now Halfway to Halloween will have its own inevitable slasher in the upcoming short film Half-O-Ween, and a first look at the killer has just been revealed.
Directed by Stephen Wolfe (Doll Factory) and written by Mike McPherson (10/31 Part 2), the satirical slasher short stars Lestonja Diaz, Robinson, Sara Gaston, Joe Grisaffi, Joshua Kennedy, Josh Spiegel, Matt Baca, and Xavier Flores as murderous maniac Eddie Mangas.
Special effects will be created by Ryan and Salina Ward of Little Shop of Gore FX (Terrifier 3).
According to the official synopsis, the movie “blends the irreverent humor of Ghost World with the bloody kills of the Halloween franchise, leaning on its richly detailed ensemble cast. Leading the quartet is Cam White, a horror fanatic and recluse, whose only companion, a normie boyfriend named Jeremy, just broke up with her. In the immediate aftermath of their ugly breakup, their landlords arrive with news of an escaped serial killer. Winnie, nosy and overbearing, insists her husband, the prideful and sleazy Vern, will protect them. But as the night winds on with the foursome cooped up together in Sam’s tiny living space, she begins to wonder whether she ought to take her chances.”
The short is intended to serve as a proof-of-concept that will launch a feature length version, and a crowd funding campaign is currently underway on Indiegogo.
