We’ve confirmed this week that filming has officially wrapped on Haunt, an Eli Roth-produced, Halloween-set horror film we first told you about over the summer.

Scott Beck and Bryan Woods directed the tale of haunting taken to the extreme, which has a cast including Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night), Katie Stevens, Shazi Raja, Andrew Caldwell, Will Brittain, Austin Lyon, Lauryn Alisa McClain, Schuyler Helford, Justin Rose, Kurt Oberhaus and Phillip Johnson Richardson.

As previously mentioned, Haunt takes place on Halloween when:

A group of friends encounter an “extreme” haunted house which promises to feed on their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some nightmares are real.”

Beck and Woods penned Paramount’s A Quiet Place, which stars John Krasinski and Emily Blunt and marks Krasinski’s major studio directorial debut.

Todd Garner is also producing via his Broken Road along with Nickel City’s Mark Fasano, Ankur Rungta and Vishal Rungta. Sierra/Affinity’s Marc Schaberg and Josie Liang, Broken Road’s Jeremy Stein, and Nickel City’s Tobias Weymar are executive producers.
