We first reported on HANUKKAH back in June when a pair of great spoof posters were released. I was hoping that the film would be completed in time for the holiday this year, but since the eight crazy nights are already upon us, it seems we will have to wait until next year for a release.
To keep our dreidels spinning, a new teaser poster for the holiday slasher has been released. It’s a nice spoof of the original FRIDAY THE 13th one-sheet. Check it out below for a laugh. Here is the synopsis:
Obediah Lazarus is the son of Judah Lazarus, the original Hannukiller. In 1983, Judah terrorized NY for seven nights and was preparing to sacrifice his eight year old son, Obediah, on the eighth night. Judah was convinced it was God’s will, like Abraham and Isaac, to sacrifice his only son to God. Luckily for Obediah, police tracked Judah down and stopped the sacrifice, but Judah was gunned down in the process. Warped by hatred with no guidance, Obediah Lazarus becomes a religious extremist, intolerant of non-Jews, “bad Jews”, and those he perceives to be enemies of the Jewish faith. He is about to unleash eight nights of horror.
A group of Jewish teens are getting ready to party for the holidays, but are in for a Festival of Frights. With the help of a wise Rabbi, they deduce that the murder victims have violated Judaic law and that their only chance at survival is to embrace their faith.
The movie comes from My Way Pictures and is written and directed by Eben McGarr (SICK GIRL). The picture is scheduled to begin filming next month, so additional information should become available soon.
