Stepmonster
She's mean. She's green. She's your new mom!
Directed by Jeremy Stanford
Produced by Concorde Pictures
A campy horror-comedy that plays the evil stepmother trope literally, blending child-protagonist urgency with tongue-in-cheek monster mayhem and family dysfunction.
Todd Dougherty has an imagination driven by comic books. So when he accuses his soon-to-be stepmother of being a monster, no one believes him. When neighbors start turning up dead, it becomes a race against time for Todd to stop this hideous, carnivorous creature from marrying his dad and ruining his life.
