Short Horror Half-O-Ween Coming Soon

In June this year we caught up with indie horror producer P.J. Starks, who was in various stages of production on several different projects including Half-O-Ween. The short horror film is now crowdfunding and gearing up to begin production.

The film tells the story of a couple who, following a messy break-up, find themselves trapped inside with their intrusive landlords whilst an escaped serial killer prowls the neighbourhood looking for their next victim.

Half-O-Ween follows 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.

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.
