Halloween may still be six months away, but the knives are already out in Half-o-Ween, a new horror-comedy short gearing up to shoot in Los Angeles this summer. Helmed by director Stephen Wolfe and penned by Mike McPherson, the upcoming film is set to blend social awkwardness, relationship drama and blood-soaked chaos into one twisted treat for horror fans.

Described as Ghost World with a body count, Half-o-Ween takes place in the emotionally volatile aftermath of a young couple’s break-up. Horror obsessive Cam White is blindsided when her normie boyfriend Jeremy calls it quits. Unfortunately for both of them, their apartment has become the epicentre of a suburban nightmare, thanks to two meddling landlords and news of a serial killer on the loose. With no safe way out, the former couple must navigate emotional fallout, close quarters, and rising paranoia – all while trying to figure out whether the real...

At Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012, I stumbled across a little movie called Jacob (review here), and it completely blew me away. For a completely independent picture made for extremely little money, it packed an emotional punch that few mainstream horror films can pull off.

Truth be told, I've paid to see movies in the theater that display less skill and power than Jacob, and that's a damn shame, but finally someone was wise enough to pick up this gem for distribution, and as of April 16th, Jacob is out on DVD and Blu-ray for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Kino Lorber's Horizon Movies.

Jacob had a return performance at this year's Texas Frightmare Weekend to celebrate its release, and I sat down with main man Larry Carrell to chat about writing, directing, and acting in the film.

Mr. Dark: Give us the background on yourself, and what you've done so far.
