Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Here at AITH we try our best to celebrate all things Joe Dante. Case in point, today we have five exclusive new pics from Andy Palmer's upcoming flick CAMP COLD BROOK, which Dante produced and which Chad Michael Murray (HOUSE OF WAX) and Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN II) star.

The pics are meant to tie-in with the NYC Horror Film Festival East Coast premiere screening, where two Dante films are playing (NIGHTMARE CINEMA is the other), beginning next Thursday, Nov 29. Check out the stills (and the trailer and poster) below and then let us know what you think!

Here's the official synopsis:

Chad Michael Murray stars as reality TV producer and host Jack Wilson, who finds himself in a tough spot when his show is about to be canceled. In a last-ditch effort to spark ratings, he and his producer Angela, (Danielle Harris) choose to film their next episode at the legendary Camp Cold Brook, which was host to a horrific incident where the young campers were drowned in a nearby creek 20 years ago. Their arrival begins like any other episode… but the TV crew find that they get more than they bargained for.”

Director Statement:

What drew me to Camp Cold Brook, beyond it being one of the scariest scripts I’ve ever read, is the wonderful dancing dualities that writer Alex Carl created in this world. The innocence of summer camp paired with the horror inflicted upon Bernadeau and her child and eventually the children she puts under her spell. A down on its luck reality crew, who have grown jaded from years of haunted houses with no hauntings, suddenly being thrust into given everything they always were searching for, and yet probably won’t live to broadcast. This same duality is present visually in the film, with a kinetic energy pushing the story forward and then slowing it way, way down in those moments of tension. Every creek, every moan drawn out, which draws the audience in; One scare, one shriek at a time. It’s a simple ghost story, with complicated characters. It’s something an audience will feel they’ve seen a thousand times, until we give them something, they’ve never seen before.

Directed by Andy Palmer from a screenplay written by Alex Carl, the film also stars, Courtney Gains, Candice De Visser, Michael Eric Reid, Cate Jones, Juliette Kida, Loren Ledesma, and Jason Van Eman. And don't forget to mark you calendars as CAMP COLD BROOK and NIGHTMARE CINEMA will be playing at the NYC Horror Film Festival beginning next Thursday, Nov 29.
