Anchor Bay let us know that the upcoming horror comedy “Stan Helsing” will be playing for a one-week exclusive theatrical engagement starting Friday, October 23rd at:

New York – Village East Cinemas
Los Angeles – Mann’s Chinese 6 Theaters
Vancouver — Tinseltown Theaters
Toronto — Bloor Cinema
Ottawa — Mayfair Theater

Written and directed by Bo Zenga, the executive producer of SCARY MOVIE, STAN HELSING follows the misadventures of hapless video store clerk Stan Helsing (Steve Howey) and his friends one unfortunate Halloween night when they find themselves stranded in the mysterious residential development of Stormy Night Estates. There, Stan learns of his true destiny as a descendant of the legendary monster-hunter Van Helsing.

With his motley band in tow – including his best friend Teddy (“Saturday Night Live” star Kenan Thompson) – he will battle true evil in the form of parodies of movie monster icons “Freddy,” “Jason,” “Leatherface,” “Pinhead,” “Michael Myers,” and “Chucky.” In addition to riotously sending up some of the cinema’s greatest scream meisters, Stan Helsing also features the appearance of comedy film legend Leslie Nielsen (Airplane!, the Naked Gun films, Scary Movie 3 and 4) as well as a surprise cameo that will frighten the Republican Party!

Keep watch for announcements on additional theaters that will play this year’s silliest shockfest – STAN HELSING!
