Slender Man Haunts Dread Central! The Eidolon State to Premiere HERE!
We are happy to announce that we are working with Freeze Frame Film to premiere their short film The Eidolon State, which focuses on the haunting sensation that is The Slender Man. Read on for details!
Freeze Frame will be releasing the flick on YouTube Friday, August 29th, but we’re going to be exclusively hosting it beginning Wednesday, August 27th!
The filmmakers’ goal was to make a short film based on The Slender Man myth that stayed true to the original sources as well as being inspired by other depictions of the character. Along with this, the film’s tone and atmosphere were influenced by other horror films such as The Conjuring and Sinister. The film is directed by Dion Cavallaro and Paul Thomas, who also plays the lead role of Josh alongside supporting actress Sarah Pike, who plays Ally, Josh’s friend. Cain Harrip portrays The Slender Man and is also the associate producer of the film.
“Originally we were going to call our antagonist ‘The Tall Man’ but ultimately decided that ‘The Slender Man’ was more fitting and more favourable with the fans,” says director Cavallaro. “After 8 months of production in total, we are happy to announce the release of our 20-minute short film, The Eidolon State. Making this film has been an enjoyable journey for us, and we hope our adaption pleases fans of the character, something we hoped to achieve and hopefully have.”
As for our involvement, he explains, “We contacted Dread Central about our project in earlier stages of production and they were more than happy to help promote our film. As a result, we have chosen to premiere the film through them as Dread Central felt like the perfect place for a Slender Man film to be announced and released. Dread Central not only offer the latest in Hollywood news but also help upcoming, independent filmmakers gain some exposure. The support they offer to the industry is fantastic, and we thank them greatly for their support. We are glad to have collaborated with them and would not hesitate to do so again in the future.”
You’re very welcome! It’s our pleasure!
