Horror shorts anthology Obits will be having its world premiere during the 10th annual Screamfest LA Film Festival on Saturday, October 9th, and one of the project’s co-directors, Paul Hart-Wilden, sent over some stills and the basic plot outlines for all four of the installments.

Obits, which was filmed on location in Indianapolis, Indiana, was written by Rob Bola (Fake I.D.) and directed by Joel Umbaugh (Fake I.D.) and Paul Hart-Wilden (screenwriter of Living Doll, Skinner, and Alone and producer/screenwriter of the upcoming Wolf Town). Stars include Nova White, Kaleigh Howland, Marc Szewczyk, Danielle Ireland, Kelly Kruthaupt, Melissa Fenton, and Ladonna Pettijohn

An homage to the horror anthology movie, Obits is comprised of four chapters:

“The Pack” (directed by Paul Hart-Wilden) – Life on the run in a world under siege from werewolf-like creatures.
“See No Evil” (directed by Joel Umbaugh) – A blind man wakes up beside his dead wife.
“The Hood” (directed by Joel Umbaugh) – A tale of romance and retribution set in the Deep South.
“Meredith” (directed by Paul Hart-Wilden) – A father struggles with the problems of raising a daughter with an unusual appetite.

Obits will be playing at the Mann Chinese 6 in Hollywood, CA on Saturday, October 9th, during the Screamfest short films block starting at 12:30 pm. For more info check out Obits on Facebook, visit the official Screamfest LA website, and click here for tickets.
