Ron McLellen is the writer/director of the upcoming horror film All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest, and he's just sent us the new trailer with a jamming soundtrack that is simply loaded with horrific creatures. You've gotta see it.
In just the trailer, which runs less than three minutes, we were able to spot a werewolf, a witch, an orc-like demon creature, a possessed scarecrow as well as the old Super Loops carnival ride, a very Michael Myers-esque kid in a clown costume, two knights (looked like from The Crusades era), a swordfight and no shortage of blood puking scenes. Imagine what the feature length film contains! We're exhausted just thinking about it.
All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest is written and directed by Ron McLellen (Jack O'Lantern) of Southlan-Films. The film is produced by McLellen and Eric Burton, and stars Alyssa Lewis, Ian Isaksson, Rusty Smith,...
