Ari Lehman joins Jimmy Lee Combs’ horror anthology Terror Tales

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Writer/director Jimmy Lee Combs isn't messing around when he says he wants his horror anthology film TERROR TALES to be like "THE EXPENDABLES of horror". Having already cast Romero/Cronenberg alum Lynn Lowry (THE CRAZIES), Jonathan Tiersten (SLEEPAWAY CAMP), Laurene Landon (MANIAC COP), Liane Curtis (CRITTERS 2), and Yan Birch (THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS), Combs has now added a FRIDAY THE 13TH connection into the mix. The latest actor to sign on for TERROR TALES is the first actor to play Jason Voorhees, Ari Lehman.

Lehman will be featured in a segment that will be filming this fall.

TERROR TALES begins with 

a husband who is abducted by a psychopath that gives the man the ride from hell, subjecting him to three horrific tales of the macabre – while his family is held captive in an attached cargo trailer.
 
The tales include one of a demon that takes a mother on a journey of self-discovery and reveals to her the horrifying truth behind her son's suicide. 

The next tale transpires in the '80s where a detective is hot on the trail of a serial killer known as The Sledgehammer who is terrorizing a video store owner and his wife. Years later, on the brink of the digital video revolution, the long standing video store is now on the verge of closing. However, bigger problems arise when the serial killer returns. 

In the final tale, an evil deity is using the human body as a host to possess its victims. When the deity destroys one victim it jumps to another causing an epidemic of possessions being reported. Deception is ruled by evil as friends, family and strangers question their trust for one another. 

Christopher Showerman plays the psychotic, tale-telling Driver. Also in the cast are RJ Wagner, Miranda Byers, Ben Hilzer, Ben Feldman, Matt Block, Andy Hankins, Heath Heine, Karen Thomas, and Miss Asia USA Ashley Park (pictured below).

Lehman recently played a lustful caretaker in a movie I wrote about earlier today, CHEERLEADER CAMP 2 THE DEATH.
