Lisa Wilcox has joined the cast of The Last Sleepover as Bethany Drake, a popular matriarch and pillar of the community.
The actress is best known for going toe-to-toe with Freddy Krueger as Alice Johnson in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child.
“Whether someone loves the horror genre or not, everyone is familiar with the Nightmare franchise,” producer P.J. Starks (10/31) tells Bloody Disgusting. “As a fan of those films, having Lisa join the project is very cool. She is a solid talent, and the gravitas she brings due to her status in the horror community only elevates the excitement of making this movie.”
Sleepaway Camp‘s Felissa Rose also stars in the indie slasher alongside Spooky Madison, Audri Curtsinger, Jason Crowe, Ashe Parker, and TJ Moreschi.
A group of former friends reunite on the night of their 20-year high school reunion. Once part of an elite clique called The Pastels, they harbor a dark secret — years ago, they tormented a less fortunate girl in a cruel prank that ended in tragedy.
After the reunion, they continue the night at an Airbnb for one last sleepover, but the celebration quickly turns into a nightmare. A masked killer begins hunting them down one by one, seeking revenge for the sins of their past.
Production on The Last Sleepover is set to begin next month in Kentucky with Gregory W. Brock directing from a script he co-wrote with Austin J. Rutherford.
A crowdfunding campaign is currently underway on Indiegogo.
