Several months back, I told you about Honeyspider, a film written and produced by Kenny Caperton of The Myers House NC. Since then, we have a few updates to share.
Honeyspider is premiering in North Carolina at the Gem Theater in Kannapolis in a double feature with Night of the Living Dead. For some fun facts, The Gem Theater is the same theater that part of Honeyspider was filmed in and Night of the Living Dead is what the girls of Sleepover Slaughterhouse Part 3, the movie inside the movie, are watching at their sleepover. I guess you could say it is the movie inside the movie inside the movie.
There will also be a showing at the Murphy Theater in Wilmington, Ohio on Halloween night with a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Then the movie will be back in North Carolina on November 1 at the Raleigh Road Drive-In in Henderson for a double feature with the original House on Haunted Hill.
Honeyspider takes place in 1989 on Halloween day and follows college student Jackie Blue as she slowly unravels, all while a mysterious stranger watches over her every move. Soon she finds herself helplessly trapped like prey in a spider’s web, and all she can do is try to survive the night!
Honeyspider is directed by Josh Hasty (A Mannequin in Static) of Paramount Scope. The film stars Frank Aard (April Fool’s Day remake), Joan Schuermeyer (Zombieland and RZ’s Halloween 2), Rachel Jeffreys, Samantha Mills (Bombshell Bloodbath) and newcomer Mariah Brown.
Billy Corgan of the iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins has generously given the filmmakers the rights to use one of his early SP tracks entitled “Honeyspider,” which inspired the name of the movie. The film will also feature music from legendary music producer and singer songwriter Gary S. Paxton, who arranged and produced the original Bobby (Boris) Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers “Monster Mash” album.
In addition to the double feature screenings, Honeyspider will also be hitting the film festival circuit in search of distribution later this Fall. For more information, check out the film’s official website at www.honeyspidermovie.com and visit the film’s official Facebook page .
