Get Scared ‘Half to Death’ This October
This morning we told you that Universal and Sony Pictures shifted Leigh Whannel’s Insidious: Chapter 4 out of its October date and into 2018. There’s good news attached to that announcement, though, with word that Universal’s Half to Death will take its spot.
So, yes, you will have a chance to be scared half to death this Halloween season, when the film hits theaters everywhere on October 13, 2017.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones‘ Christopher Landon directs the film that sounds like a horror version of Groundhog Day.
‘Half to Death’ follows a girl who must relive the same day over and over again until she figures out who is trying to kill her and why.
Ruby Modine, Charles Aitken, and Rachel Matthew star alongside Jessica Rothe and Israel Broussard.
Christopher Landon is directing from a script he co-penned with Scott Lobdell. Landon, who penned Disturbia and several Paranormal Activity sequels, also directed Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones and Paramount’s Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.
Filming took place in New Orleans.
Fresh off his brief appearance as Longlegs in Scary Movie, Deadline reports that Chris Elliott will star alongside Michael Ian Black in Sasquatch creature comedy Bad Day for Bigfoot.
Sara Tomko (Resident Alien), Oliver Cooper (Project X) and James Duval (Donnie Darko) also star in the film from filmmakers Zach Green and Devin O’Rourke (Foil).
Deadline details in today’s exclusive report, “The film follows a Bigfoot hoax that goes horribly wrong in the middle of an actual Sasquatch hot spot, leading to a chaotic struggle between the hoaxers, investigators, and a supernatural force that defies explanation.”
“I have always been drawn to cryptids and monster lore, and the over-the-top sincerity of 80s and 90s protagonists,” director Zach Green said in a statement. “Bad Day for Bigfoot is a love letter to those creature-filled adventure comedies. I couldn’t be more proud of the cast and crew we’ve assembled, and for the support and enthusiasm from the people of La Grande [Oregon]. It was their gumption that proved to us that making this thing was very possible, and that what’s lurking in those woods may be very real indeed.”
The cast also includes Ashley Rae Spillers, Brian McGuire and Kyle D. King.
Stay tuned for more on Bad Day for Bigfoot as we learn it.
