Sometimes, life socks. Known to horror fans for his role in Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs, Sean Whalen is back with a brand new horror-comedy titled Crust.

Whalen directed and stars in Crust, which centers on a sock monster. In the black & white film, “A has-been child actor and owner of a dingy laundromat becomes powerfully vengeful when his collection of lone socks transforms into a murderous monster named Crust.”

Here’s the full official plot synopsis…

Vegas Winters, a depressed washed up child actor, fled Tinseltown and now owns and lives in a rundown laundromat. He finds lost socks in the machines and uses them to soak up all his bodily fluids. One night his tears of anguish turns the pile into a loving sock monster named Crust who becomes his protector and friend.

Meanwhile he has a new girlfriend, a paranormal investigator poking around, and an old two faced costar that is forcing him to join a reboot of their 90s sitcom. As Vegas’s life begins to spiral, Crust eliminates his enemies with deadly consequences.
