NEWEST CAST MEMBERS FOR CANDY CORN ANNOUNCED

Candy corn is probably one of the top polarizing candies out there. Some people love it, some people like it, and some people hate it. And let me tell you something, those that hate it are passionate about their disgust. Irrationally so. C'mon, if you dislike a little tiny piece of candy so much you feel the need to make posts on Twitter and Facebook about it, well...yeah. But I digress. There's a point to this. While some people hate the candy, I think every horror fan will find someone they enjoy in the upcoming film, Candy Corn; especially after the most recent additions.

It was recently announced that horror icons Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn, The Burbs), PJ Soles (John Carpenter's Halloween, Carrie), Tony Todd (Candyman, The Crow, Final Destination), and newcomer Pancho Moler (Rob Zombie's 31, From Hell, American Horror Story), have joined the cast of the upcoming movie. They round-out the already announced cast of stars, including Sky Elobar, Caleb Thomas, Madison Russ, Cy Creamer, Jimothy Beckholt, Nate Chaney, Patrick Ryan, Justin Mabry, Matt O'Neill, and Jaime Gallagher. Candy Corn was written and directed by Josh Hasty (Director of In Hell Everybody Loves Popcorn and the acclaimed feature length documentary on the making of Rob Zombie's 31).

Film Synopsis: It's the eve of Halloween in Grove Hill, Ohio. A traveling carnival is in town for the weekend and local outcast, Jacob Atkins, has been hired as one of the freaks in the event's main attraction, “Dr.Death's Side Show Spook House Spectacular”. Meanwhile, a group of local bullies are planning their annual public hazing of Jacob, but this year things go too far.

Comprising the Make-up Effects team includes Justin Mabry (sculptor of the Michael Myers mask in 2018 “Halloween” & Co-Owner of Trick or Treat Studios), Chris Gallaher (“Vice,” “Fear the Walking Dead,” “Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Passion of the Christ”) and Erik Porn (“Pineapple Express,” “Scream Queens,” “American Horror Story”). Additional accredited effects team includes: Russ Lukich (“Hellboy 1&2”, “Jurassic Park III,” “Blade: Trinity”) and Emmy nominee, Dave Hartman (“Transformers: Prime,” “Bubba Ho-Tep,” “Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny”). Costume Designer, Cody Varona (Costume/Stage wardrobe designer to Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Guns ‘n’ Roses) also joins the team.

He's the puppet master. You don't see him, but he pulls the strings that gets things done. He's the silent partner. He's black ops. If you notice his presence, it's the last thing you'll notice — because now you're dead. He's the shadow you thought you saw in that dark alleyway. You can have a conversation with him, and when you turn around to offer him a cup of coffee, he's already gone.
