HELL-EPHONE Is Coming!!!

SCARS Readers…

Just a quick update to give you a sneak peek at a new film I’m in called HELL-EPHONE. In this one, I appear along with Ari Lehman (“Jason” in the original Friday The 13th), Daniel Emery Taylor (Return Of Swamp Thing), Playmate Alex Del Monacco, and John Dugan (“Grandpa” in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

HELL-EPHONE was written and directed by George Bonilla of ZP International… the gang that brought you Monstrosity, The Edison Death Machine, and Zombie Planet… and tells the story of a prank gone wrong.

A group of college students, led by The Circuit Maker, a Svengali-like professor, make prank calls to funeral homes. After intently researching the obituaries, they try and convince whoever answers the call that they are the deceased calling from the great beyond. As the prank gets larger than life, gaining national attention, they attempt the biggest prank ever: they will 'Hell-ephone' the funeral of a recently executed serial killer, known as the Sea Monster. When the Sea Monster's mother drops dead after taking the call, the kids start showing up dead. Mike Stone, the lead detective on the Sea Monster case, is convinced that the Sea Monster has returned from the grave to avenge his mother's death. The rest of the police force, however, doesn't buy that theory. Now cavorting with the ultimate evil on the other side; has the Sea Monster been given the power to come back and continue the reign of terror that was interrupted for ten years while he sat on Death Row?

Looks like this one is going to premiere in Chattanooga later this month. For more information, check out ZP’s website at: www.zpmovies.com

Here’s a look at the movie’s trailer:
