There’s a new Halloween-themed indie horror on the block looking to make a killing. This one has the flashy title of HALLOWS EVE: SLAUGHTER ON SECOND STREET. At first I was a little hesitant to move forward on reporting this one. I guess the whole “indie” vibe I got from it felt a tad heavy on the cheesy side. However, after checking out its trailer and reading its full synopsis, I definitely believe that HALLOWS may be packing the power to surprise. I wonder if you guys will feel the same way. You can check out the trailer by clicking right here. As for the plot synopsis, simply read on:
Days before the annual opening of Slaughter on Second Street, Owensboro’s premiere haunted attraction, a tragedy befalls one of their own. Despite pleas from the manager, Buck Masters, the attraction is shut down until the mystery is solved. In his frustration, Buck devises a plan to get the haunt back on its feet and make some extra money while he’s at it. Playing on the rumors that the attraction may in fact be haunted, Buck brings in a rag-tag paranormal investigator team to prove the rumors true.
An unfriendly encounter with the building’s maintenance man, Mr. Jenkins, makes the team realize that the history of the building is far darker than they could have ever imagined and they may actually be visiting one of Owensboro’s most haunted sites. Locked in overnight, along with Buck, they begin their investigation. One by one, the ghost hunters are preyed upon by malicious forces and must rely on each other if they are to survive the night. Who will live to see morning and who will perish before the true secrets of Slaughter on Second Street are uncovered?
Sounds pretty promising, right? Nothing too new, but a worthy excuse for horror nonetheless. It’s coming from director, PJ Starks, who is currently prepping a film school tour for HALLOWS EVE. The cast includes Daniel Benedict, Megan Fuller, Sara Jane Behl, Teresa Howard (below), Melissa Goodall, Todd Reynolds, and Ben Glenn. As of now, there is no set release date.
