STARVING THINGS
“Starving Things delves deeply into addiction, guilt, and the haunting repetition of history. Andrew Herold seamlessly intertwines the house’s dark past with the tumultuous life of its current caretaker, Nan.
Holt House isn’t just haunted—it’s hungry.”
Sophia Cacciola, Horror Director/Cinematographer
THE CUCKOOS
“Oh Edgar, don’t you know hitchhiking is dangerous? You should count yourself lucky you weren’t picked up by one of those crazies you hear about on the news. Why don’t you hop in and warm your tootsies up and I’ll drive you a ways down the road?”
Michael glanced back the way he had come, and then up ahead where the road wound through a stand of snow-covered pine.
The only sound he could hear was the powerful rumbling of the car’s engine. Even the birds had fallen silent. Even so, for a moment, he considered thanking the old woman and continuing to walk until someone a little less…batty, came along.
But it was cold, and batty or not, she didn’t seem dangerous.
