Scary Movie
Fear is a state of mind
Directed by Daniel Erickson
Produced by Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, Gold/Miller Productions
A comedic horror-thriller that plays with the paranoia of a bullied nerd navigating a haunted house where the line between staged scares and real danger blurs.
On Halloween night, big-time nerd Warren attends a spookhouse in a small Texas town. But is the haunted house as harmless as it seems, or has a psychotic mental patient found a new stomping ground?
