Several Clips from Anchor Bay’s ‘Stan Helsing’
Beyond the break you’ll find several clips from Bo Zenga’s horror spoof Stan Helsing, which stars Diora Baird, Kenan Thompson, Ben Cotton, Steve Howey, Tara Wilson, Marie Avgeropoulos, Desi Lydic and Lara Babalola. The action takes place on Halloween night, when a videostore clerk, Stan Helsing, must reluctantly save a town from the six most-feared monsters in cinematic history. Anchor Bay will release the film on Blu-ray and DVD October 27.
“STAN HELSING is the hilariously terrifying saga of lovable slacker/video store clerk Stan, (Steve Howey of Reba), who heads out to a Halloween night costume party with three pals – his hot ex-girlfriend Nadine, (Wedding Crashers co-star and Maxim über-babe Diora Baird), best friend/law student Teddy, (SNL’s Kenan Thompson) and Teddy’s date, exotic dancer/massage therapist Mia, (newcomer Desi Lydic) – only to detour into a town cursed by parodies of the most iconic movie monsters of modern times: Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Pinhead, Michael Myers and Leatherface.
But when Stan discovers that he’s a direct descendant of the legendary monster hunter Van Helsing, he must defeat the monsters and drive them from the town. During which, the four will have to survive a night of cross-dressing waitresses (Leslie Nielsen), razor-gloved killers, hell raisers, hockey masks, pleather faces, psycho dolls, homicidal hitchhikers, vampire strippers, killer karaoke, and lots of hot chicks kissing each other, (okay, that part’s not so bad).
Can a guy whose motto is “Don’t get involved” learn to embrace huge doobs, awesome boobs, true love and yet still find time to save the world? The answer is a resounding yes as Stan and the gang show that they’re up to the karaoke challenge and Stan is no longer a reluctant hero but a hero through and through.”
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
