So a press release just ushered in for a cool indie horror comedy called THE NIGHT SHIFT, written and directed by Thomas Smith. Adapted from his own short of the same name, which garnered some positive buzz from the horror community when it screened online back in ’09, a feature length version of the story is currently in pre-production. Wanna hear the deets on this bad boy? Of course you do!
Brought to us by Fighting Owl Films, an independent filmmaking group out of Mobile, Alabama – THE NIGHT SHIFT is:
A supernatural adventure-comedy, “The Night Shift” centers on Rue Morgan, the undead night watchman at Pinewood Oaks Cemetery. Rue, along with his buddy Herb, a limbless corpse, spends his nights trying to keep the cemetery’s cantankerous residents in, and his days dreaming of a date with hard-nosed day-shifter, Claire. It’s an okay afterlife until a scourge of supernatural occurrences leaves Rue not only watching the cemetery, but also watching his back!
“His buddy Herb, a limbless corpse.” Damn, I’m already laughing!
Set to star Khristian Fulmer, Erin Lilley, Soren Odeom, Jonathan Pruitt and Jordan Woodall – THE NIGHT SHIFT starts lensing this May/June.
