Dread Central has your first look at the horror fantasy Hansel & Gretel’s Halloween, which just wrapped filming in Oklahoma under the direction of Marcus Mallard and Logan Walcher.
Hansel & Gretel’s Halloween tells the story of how on Halloween night, six teens enter a candy-coated labyrinth from the tale of Hansel & Gretel, where a deadly Witch turns temptation into traps, and resisting the sweetest lure is their only way out.
The cast includes Christy Tate (Lifetime’s Murder and Mayhem at Mardi Gras) as Amelia/Witch, Griffin Edge as Hansel, Alexia Berry as Gretel, with Aubree Payne as Madison, Nehemiah Auzer as Jacob, Madison Sein as Taylor, Tate Skelton as Michael, Amanda Stump as Jacob’s mom, and Caroline Kelly as Allison Cooper.
It was written by Chris Hoyt (The Adventures Of Jurassic Pet, Dinosaur World, The 7 Dwarves).
Distributor Devilworks will be handling international sales, helmed by Samantha Richardson and Matteo Rolleri, who are also executive producers of the film.
“We took a story everyone thinks they know and gave it a wicked twist—Hansel & Gretel’s Halloween is clever, bolder and a lot more fun than you’d expect,” said Rolleri.
“As both producers and distributors, we wanted to create a project that blends classic storytelling with a distinctive visual and tonal identity,” added Richardson.
“The vision for this film was to inject new life into the legend of Hansel and Gretel and make it into something authentically scary,” explains co-director Walcher. “It’s like Goosebumps cranked up to 11. The stakes are high and the deaths are deeply unsettling. The haunted house makes you question reality at every twist and turn. Marcus and I set out to make a movie your parents don’t want you to watch. So grab some friends and enjoy Hansel and Gretel’s Halloween, if you dare.”
In addition to directing, Marcus Mallard and Logan Walcher produced the film alongside Leah Heitzke-Mallard and Chris Hoyt. Hansel & Gretel’s Halloween cinematography is by Logan Walcher, the music is by Bitter Machine, with editing by Logan Walcher, and production design by Leah Heitzke-Mallard.
