There are countless haunted houses which pop up over the Halloween season, some better than others, but what if one of them…was real. OooooOooOoo. Momentum Pictures have released the first trailer for HAUNT, which follows a group of friends as they encounter an extreme haunted house which promises to feed on their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some monsters are real.
HAUNT was written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who co-wrote A QUIET PLACE with John Krasinski, and the pair spoke with Entertainment Weekly earlier this year about shooting the film in their very own haunted house. "The shoot was incredible because, first and foremost, with our production designer, and our art direction team, we were able to build our own haunted house, that had functioning gags," said Beck. "That was like being in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, getting to roam around these extravagant incredible sets. Beyond that, we got to actually film over Halloween, which led to this incredible camaraderie of everyone just wanting to enjoy the season, and throw all of that fun energy of what Halloween season really is into the movie." Woods also spilled a few details on HAUNT's leading lady.
Our main girl is Harper who’s played by Katie Stevens. She is probably best known for her TV work, she’s one of the stars of The Bold Type and Faking It. Her character is this young woman who’s in this horrifyingly abusive relationship. It all comes to a head on the week leading up to Halloween. The whole idea is, like, Can I just let go, and have a good night, and move past this? All the while, we think that her ex- is following her, stalking her. We’re trying to merge this character story with kind of slasher tropes.
HAUNT is set to hit select theaters, On Demand, and Digital on September 13, 2019.
