Director Jimmy Lee Combs' TERROR TALES is going to be a SLEEPAWAY CAMP reunion. It was announced back in February that Jonathan Tiersten, who played young Ricky in the 1983 slasher classic, had taken on a role in Combs' upcoming horror anthology, and now Arrow in the Head can EXCLUSIVELY share the news that Tiersten is being joined in the cast by Felissa Rose, whose performance as Ricky's shy cousin Angela made her an icon of the genre.
The role Rose will be playing in TERROR TALES is something of a dream come true for the actress. She has always wanted to play a witch in a horror film, and in the segment entitled Epidemic, which will be filming in Denver, Colorado in mid-November, she will be playing "a 16th Century witch who unleashes an evil deity that uses the human body as a host to possess its victims."
TERROR TALES begins with
a husband who is abducted by a psychopath and taken on a ride from hell where he is subjected to three horrific tales of terror while his wife and daughter are held captive in an attached cargo trailer.
The tales include one of a demon that takes a mother on a journey of self-discovery and reveals to her the horrifying truth behind her son's suicide.
The next tale transpires in the '80s where a detective is hot on the trail of a serial killer known as The Sledgehammer who is terrorizing a video store owner and his wife. Years later, on the brink of the digital video revolution, the long standing video store is now on the verge of closing. However, bigger problems arise when the serial killer returns.
In the final tale, an evil deity is using the human body as a host to possess its victims. When the deity destroys one victim it jumps to another causing an epidemic of possessions being reported. Deception is ruled by evil as friends, family and strangers question their trust for one another.
In addition to Rose and Tiersten, the cast includes Lynn Lowry, Laurene Landon, Liane Curtis, Yan Birch, Ari Lehman, RJ Wagner, Miranda Byers, Ben Hilzer, Ben Feldman, Matt Block, Andy Hankins, Heath Heine, Karen Thomas, Miss Asia USA Ashley Park, and Christopher Showerman as the psychotic Driver.
