About
The Film:
Hayride was filmed in Southern Alabama and is loosely based on the
childhood experiences of the director, whose family used to have an annual
haunted hayride attraction. The cast includes Mississippi native Sherri Eakin
who is no stranger to independent horror movies, Jeremy Ivy, and veteran actor
Richard Tyson (Kindergarten Cop, Black Hawk Down, Me Myself and Irene). The film follows a
college student returning home for Halloween who is forced to face his
childhood fears when an escaped killer takes refuge in his family’s Haunted
Hayride attraction. The phrase coined for the film, which has also become its tagline,
is “Southern Fried Horror”.
Writer/Director
Terron R. Parsons got his start producing commercials and has been writing
since a very young age. Parsons and Co-Producer Thomas Hatchett came up with
the idea of writing a story based around the old Haunted Hayride one Halloween
night while talking about what they would like to see in a next level slasher
movie. Fellow Southerner and Veteran actor Richard Tyson agreed to be in the
film after Parsons reached out and shared the basic vision for the film and
production took place fall 2011. Completed summer 2012, HAYRIDE will be a
showcase title for Acort at AFM.
