The irreverent, high-voltage horror-comedy Scared to Death, from award-winning music video and feature director Paul Boyd, is now playing in theaters nationwide, launching in wide release across the country as a major Friday the 13th opening weekend attraction. Led by horror legends Lin Shaye of the Insidious franchise and Bill Moseley of The Devil’s Rejects and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, the film builds on strong festival momentum and delivers its genre-blending spectacle to audiences coast to coast.
Anchored by AMC Theatres in the Top 10 U.S. markets – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Boston, and the San Francisco Bay Area – and playing in dozens of additional major cities nationwide, Scared to Death unites an eclectic, high-profile ensemble including rock frontman Kurt Deimer, daytime favorite Victoria Konefal of Days of Our Lives, Hollywood royalty Rae Dawn Chong, Olivier Paris of The Wrong Tutor, B.J. Minor of Grey’s Anatomy, Jade Chynoweth of The Last Ship, Lucinda Jenney of Practical Magic, and introduces Deimer in a breakout performance as the scene-stealing Grog.
In Scared to Death a group of filmmakers attend a séance at an abandoned children’s orphanage to do research for a horror movie. Soon, supernatural events begin to manifest, in both horrific and darkly comical fashion. That’s their first mistake…
The film taps into classic haunted-house tradition while embracing a contemporary edge, creating a theatrical experience that invites audiences to laugh, jump, and react together.
