New England filmmaker, Geno McGahee, has just wrapped his latest and most ambitious project “SCARY TALES: DARK WALKER.” The film is a direct sequel to the 2023 hit “SCARY TALES: DEAD ZONE,” but is also a standalone film and not anthology like its predecessor. Unlike the other films in the SCARY TALES franchise, this movie is a feature film and introduces a new monster along with many that have been featured before.
The film is an Xposse Production and will be released by Cinema Epoch worldwide. The film is produced by Geno McGahee, Gregory Hatanaka, Rick Caride, Matt Hebert, Eric Michaelian and Douglas A. Plomitallo.
McGahee noted that that he “threw everything but the kitchen sink” as the viewer in this monster movie. The film features the title character, Dark Walker, a large demon that is not afraid to rip somebody’s head off, a Sasquatch that proves that they are not all standoffish, aliens that did not come in peace, demonic possession, government conspiracy and a killer with a cart known as the Muffin Man. McGahee stated that the film is a “horror/action hybrid that is loaded with monsters, gore, mystery and a tremendous cast and crew. When SCARY TALES: DEAD ZONE did so well and a demand for a follow up was there, I wanted to go much larger and I did that here.”
Teaming up with McGahee, the Director of Photography, Douglas A. Plomitallo, a great filmmaker that has created the highly anticipated “HALLOWEEN CANDY.” Also joining the team is filmmaker, Jake Tyler (DAVE MACADE, JR: RELAPSE), and handling all the official photography is Gary Overgaard. Rick Caride, Matt Hebert and Jesse Waegelein-Hall made up the special effects and gore team, bringing the most intense practical effects in any Xposse Production. The official title tune that will soon be released is written and recorded by the metal powerhouse SONORA. Adding to the soundtrack is BLOOD, GREASE and DIRT, and BRUTTA.
