First Look Inside Ti West’s Haunted Tale of ‘The Innkeepers’!
Ti West (The Roost, Trigger Man, The House of the Devil, Cabin Fever 2) is hot on the set of his latest genre pic, The Innkeepers, a ghostly tale of about the last two staffers (Sara Paxton and Pat Healy) of a haunted hotel that’s going out of business. Dark Sky Films has provided Bloody Disgusting with the first two images that feature Paxton (The Last House on the Left) and Healy inside the infamous Yankee Pedlar Inn, an actual haunted location in Connecticut.“After over one hundred years in business, The Yankee Pedlar Hotel is about to close its doors for good. The last remaining clerks, Claire (Sara Paxton), a twenty something that’s come to terms with her lot in life, and Luke (Pat Healy), a computer-smart loner, are convinced that the hotel is haunted and are determined to prove it. As time ticks down to the final days of operation, mysterious guests check in including Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a former TV actress turned psychic, and an old man insistent on staying in room 353. As several strange occurrences begin to add up, both Claire and Luke must make the crucial decision on what to believe and what not to believe…”
Dark Sky Films also posted the following image of Director Ti West and star George Riddle on their Twitter page:
