As of this writing, you still have 10 days to contribute to the Kickstarter campaign for Everybody Dies at ScaryCon. Producer Sara Parrell describes the flick as a “love letter” to the genre, which might explain why it takes place at a horror convention. When she’s not producing movies, Parrell is the Festival Director at the Everybody Dies Horror Film Festival. This is all starting to come together.
Written and directed by Jeff Smith (Stupid Teenagers Must Die!), the film tells the story of jaded horror director Ed Stryker and his decision to kick the genre to the proverbial curb after losing his passion to make movies. Unfortunately for Stryker, it’s not very easy to simply walk away.
The following synopsis puts a finer point on the story:
Everybody Dies at ScaryCon is the story of Ed Stryker, a horror director who made a huge splash in the independent film renaissance of the early 90’s with his grungy, black and white, zero budget movie, Machete Betty. Now, Ed is a shell of the man who dreamed of entertaining the world through his films. The passion is gone and the flame’s died down. Even though the quality of his films deteriorate with each release, he still finds loyal fans eager to meet him at the annual horror convention, ScaryCon. But this year will definitely be his last.
After a long night in the hotel bar, Ed discovers that the patrons sitting next to him are no longer the typical convention fanboys and cosplayers. They’re the bloodthirsty monsters from his movies. They’re alive. They have their customary machetes and chainsaws. And they’re pissed.
