Trailer Park of Terror, based on the popular Imperium Comics horror anthology, has been selected by the Slamdance Film Festival to have its World Premiere on January 21, 2008 during the height of the festivities taking place in Park City, Utah.
“Slamdance is the perfect venue to host Trailer Park of Terror. As a Festival that highlights independent filmmaking, our film is a prime example of that spirit. And to be one of only 29 films to screen among thousands of submissions is an honor and reflects the great quality of the production” said Jonathan Bogner, the film’s producer and president of Bogner Entertainment, Inc. (BEI).
In Trailer Park of Terror, six troubled teens become stranded in a ramshackle trailer park where they meet Norma, an undead, trailer-trash babe with a killer body and a cursed brood of Redneck Zombies . She along with her bloodthirsty Trailer Trash denizens make the teens’ lives a living hell.
The film stars Nichole Hiltz (The Riches, In Plain Sight) as Norma, with Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects, Waitress), Michelle Lee (Pirates of the Caribbean III), Myk Watford (No Country For Old Men, The Hoax), and Ed Corbin (Chrystal) as her zombie henchmen. The wayward teens are Hayley Marie Norman (Norbit, Deal or No Deal), Ryan Carnes (Letters from Iwo Jima, Desperate Housewives), Stephanie Black (The Lilac Papers), Ricky Mabe (Beautiful People) Jeanette Brox (Art School Confidential) and Cody McMains (Vicious Circle) with Matthew Del Negro (The West Wing) as their pastor. Priscilla Barnes (The Devil’s Rejects) and country music legend Trace Adkins also appear. Directed by Steven Goldmann (Broken Bridges), the movie is written by Timothy Dolan (Conan: Red Nails) and produced by Jonathan Bogner.
Producers Jonathan Bogner and David Tischman met the comic’s creators, Christopher March and James Dracoules, in 2005 at the Comic-Con in San Diego and work began immediately to adapt the comic anthology into a live action horror feature film.
This film marks BEI’s first partnering with Drac Studios, who won Academy Awards for Achievements in Special Effects and Makeup for Mrs. Doubtfire and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
