Midnight Releasing’s Brain Damage Films label whisks us back
to 1989 and the Halloween midnight screening of Sleepover Slaughterhouse, Part 3,
which is just part of the fun with director Josh Hasty’s creepy Honeyspider. It will be heading to DVD on Oct. 13 … just
in time for some home entertainment Halloween-season viewing fun for genre-fans.
The focus of attention of this horror tale is Jackie Blue (Mariah
Brown in her film debut), a college student who earns some extra scratch by
working at the local movie theatre. The theatre
just happens to be having its annual midnight “Halloween Horrorthon” and she’s
working the midnight shift … on her birthday no less!
If the truth be known, our girl Jackie is down in the dumps
and celebrating both Halloween and her birthday are the things least on her
mind this autumn evening. Her parents
are going through a messy divorce, her college professor (played by Frank J.
Aard — April Fool's Day, Horror Story) has been extra creepy
of late and someone has left her a surprise in her car … and a tarantula
too!
As the evening progresses it isn’t long before Jackie
becomes ill, something just isn’t right tonight. Is she hallucinating? Is there really someone moving throughout
the darkened theatre knifing the paying customers to death? As her unease grows, she becomes physically
ill and starts vomiting up spiders; big hairy tarantulas actually.
She must be going insane, right? Is it all an illusion? Has Professor Lynch slipped her
something? Is the masked killer coming
for her? Relax, sit back and enjoy Honeyspider
and all will become clear by the closing credits of Sleepover Slaughterhouse, Part 3.
Bonus features include two commentary options — one featureing
director Josh Hasty and the second from writer/producer Kenny Caperton — and
the music video titled, “The Ghost in You.”
