HONEYSPIDER, a cult throwback horror feature film from
indie filmmakers Josh Hasty and Kenny Caperton, will premiere on October
18th at the historic Gem Theatre in Kannapolis, North Carolina, where a
portion of the film was shot. The theatre is hosting a horror night double
feature also including George A Romero's zombie classic 'Night of the Living
Dead' from 1968. The film is also screening at a Drive-In in Henderson, NC with
the original 'House on Haunted Hill' starring Vincent Price, as well as showing
at the historic Murphy Theatre in Wilmington, OH with 'The Rocky Horror Picture
Show.'
HONEYSPIDER takes place in 1989 on Halloween day and
follows college student Jackie Blue as she slowly unravels, all while a
mysterious stranger watches over her every move. Soon she finds herself
helplessly trapped like prey in a spider’s web, and all she can do is try to
survive the night!
HONEYSPIDER is written and produced by Kenny Caperton
(owner of the infamous Myers House NC) and directed by Josh Hasty ('A Mannequin
in Static') of Paramount Scope. The film stars Frank Aard ('April Fool's Day'
remake), Joan Schuermeyer ('Zombieland' and RZ's 'Halloween 2'), Rachel
Jeffreys, Samantha Mills ('Bombshell Bloodbath') and newcomer Mariah Brown.
Billy Corgan of the iconic rock band The Smashing
Pumpkins has generously given the filmmakers the rights to use one of his early
SP tracks entitled “Honeyspider,” which inspired the name of the movie. The
film will also feature music from legendary music producer and singer
songwriter Gary S. Paxton, who arranged and produced the original Bobby (Boris)
Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers “Monster Mash” album.
In addition to the double feature screenings,
HONEYSPIDER will also be hitting the film festival circuit in search of
distribution later this Fall. For more information, check out the film's
