Meet the Indie Halloween Horror Feature ‘HONEYSPIDER’

As a huge nerd of John Carpenter’s Halloween, I know of Kenny Caperton’s The Myers House in North Carolina. Kenny built his own home in the style of the legendary Myers House from the Halloween franchise. I’ve always told myself if I make it out to North Carolina, I want to visit the place. Kenny dropped me a line about a film that he and Josh Hasty, who previously directed the Halloween tribute short film, Judith where Kenny’s The Myers House was utilized, are making called Honeyspider.

This film looks like a good time for fans of the holiday of Halloween and 80’s horror. Check out the poster & stills below. Can’t wait to see a trailer!

HONEYSPIDER is a cult throwback that pays homage to the classics, but also introduces original ideas to the genre. The film is written and produced by Kenny Caperton (owner of the infamous Myers House NC) and directed by Josh Hasty (‘A Mannequin in Static’) of Black House Capital. The film stars Frank Aard (‘April Fool’s Day’ remake), Joan Schuermeyer (‘Zombieland’ and RZ’s ‘Halloween 2’), Rachel Jeffreys, Samantha Mills (‘Bombshell Bloodbath’) and newcomer Mariah Brown.

Synopsis

It’s Halloween day in 1989 and college student Jackie Blue wants to enjoy a quiet birthday in the midst of a chaotic semester at school. Her friend Amber has other ideas and persuades Jackie to come to the annual Halloween party on campus after her shift at the local movie theater. As the night unfolds, it  becomes apparent that Jackie will get more excitement than she bargained for on her birthday this year. The murder that plays out on the silver screen becomes an ominous parallel to reality, as Jackie falls under a strange spell while everyone around her is turning up dead. All the while, a mysterious stranger watches over Jackie’s every move as she succumbs to hallucinations and slowly unravels. Jackie finds herself helplessly trapped like prey in a spider’s web, and all she can do is try to survive the night!

The film is currently in post-production and is scheduled to hit the festival circuit in search of distribution this Fall. For more information, check out the film’s official website at www.honeyspidermovie.com and visit the film’s official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/honeyspidermovie.
