Half-O-Ween, a brand-new horror dark comedy from Hawthorne House Films and Barton Ct. Productions 

SYNOPSIS: Following a messy breakup, a couple finds themselves trapped inside with their intrusive landlords while an escaped serial killer stalks the neighborhood. 

ABOUT THE PROJECT: Hawthorne House Films and Barton Ct. Productions bring you a frightfully fun slasher from director Stephen Wolfe (Doll Factory, Dracula’s Coffin) writer Mike McPherson (10/31 Part 2), and producers Tim Robinson (Dracula’s Coffin) and P.J. Starks (New Fears Eve, 13 Slays Till X-Mas). This short film 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. Half-O-Ween will be filmed in the Los Angeles area this summer. Special effects will be handled by Little Shop of Gore FX’s Ryan and Salina Ward (Terrifier 3).

Half-O-Ween features a thrilling cast including Lestonja Diaz (Out of Body, Resurrektor), Tim Robinson (10/31 Part 2, Dracula’s Coffin), Sara Gaston (To Catch a Killer, Acid Test), Joe Grisaffi (Stranger Things, The Word), Joshua Kennedy (House of the Gorgon, The Innsmouth School for Girls), Josh Spiegel (The Last Amityville Movie, The Complex) Matt Baca (Dracula’s Coffin), and Xavier Flores (Doll Factory) as the crazed maniac, Eddie Mangas.
