The. Very. Bad. Seed.
This Halloween, Pumpkins Aren't The Only Things Getting Carved Up!
Coming soon … Yikes!
From Broadway Dreams to Pumpkin Nightmares: Jackson Sterling's fading acting career takes an eerie turn when she lands the role of a witch in a renowned Halloween festival in Cemetery, New York. Unbeknownst to her and her fellow actors, a vengeful spirit has possessed a monstrous pumpkin, and the lines between the stage and the supernatural blur. Now, they must act for their lives as Halloween night takes a chilling twist in a town where real horrors come to life.
When Jackson Sterling left acting school after studying under Sanford Meisner’s legendary protégé, Wilson Nichols, she was sure that stardom was right around the corner. But ten years later, that corner seems really, really far away. Like, in a completely different neighborhood with better coffee shops and convenient laundromats that offer free pickup and delivery.
Stuck in an overpriced, cramped NYC studio, with two roommates and a feral cat, she’s begun to wonder if her big break is ever going to come. And her latest “acting” gig isn’t making her feel any better about the future.
This weekend she’s traveling by bus with her best friend and fellow actor, Simmons, to a small town in upstate New York called Cemetery, which hosts the biggest, baddest, most amazing Halloween festival in the United States.
Jackson has been cast as “Meegwun,” the evil Queen of a coven of witches, and her script has her casting unearthly spells in an unheated barn as Halloween “guests” watch and occasionally try to disrupt the spooky tableau by throwing things into her cauldron. Simmons is playing the role of “Zombie With Machete” complete with a tattered sombrero and serape. The stage he’s stuck with is a damp field where he hides until the next group of visitors passes through and he chases them. No actual lines except for moaning and yelling “brains.” He wonders if Danny Trejo got his start this way.
What Jackson, Simmons and the townspeople of Cemetery don’t know is that the spirit of a deceased criminal has possessed a grotesque pumpkin that’s getting bigger by the hour, and he’s coming back for revenge.
