Horror-Comedy ‘Halloween Store’ Adds “Yellowstone” Actor Kai Caster
Kai Caster (“Yellowstone”) has been cast in the upcoming horror-comedy Halloween Store, Deadline reports.
He joins the previously announced Simon Rex (Scary Movie 3) and Natalie Alyn Lind (“The Goldbergs”).
In the film, a group of people find themselves trapped inside a costume store on Halloween night with a mysterious killer on the loose.
Caster will play Brock, the boyfriend of Amy (Lind) and a star quarterback with alternative motives. At first glance, Brock is the epitome of an all-American good boy, but he may just have a dark, sinister side.
Shane Dax Taylor (Murder Company) directs from a script by Chad Law (6 Bullets) and Josh Ridgway (The Flood).
“Saturday Night Live” stalwart Kenan Thompson and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) are among the executive producers on the project.
Artists for Artists, Big Bad Pig Productions, and Racer Entertainment are producing, with Range Media is handling sales.

From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
