HORROR HITS HOME WITH DON’T LET THE LIGHT IN
Greensboro, NC – From the mind of Jaysen P. Buterin, writer and director of the multi-award-winning films The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets & Hot Pink Jesus trilogy and Between Hell and a Hard Place, comes a chilling and thrilling new tale of terror. Don’t Let the Light In is a suspenseful and sinister short film set in a simpler and scarier time… childhood. To bring this frightfully fun film to life, Buterin and Mad Ones Films teamed up with Brett Mullen (Bombshell Bloodbath) and Matthew B. Moore (Hellions Rise) from The Drive-In Film Series, to show the world what happens when even monsters are scared of something.
Starring Rebecca Larken as “Sarah” and introducing Will Garrett Davis as “Jack,” Don’t Let the Light In is a heartfelt homage to a yesteryear of fear, when a babysitter and a boy were all that stood between monsters and madness, and where home is where the horror is. Because sometimes there really are things out there that go bump in the night. Sometimes there really is something scary under your bed. And sometimes, just sometimes, there really are monsters hiding in your room. But even monsters are afraid of something. So remember… don’t close your eyes, don’t open the door, and DON’T let the light in!
With the WORLD PREMIERE set to scream its way onto the screen at the 2016 MystiCon Film Festival in Roanoke, VA this month (Feb 26-28), Don’t Let the Light In has already been accepted as an official selection at the Austin Revolution Film Festival in Austin, TX; the Twister Alley International Film Festival in Woodward, OK; and the Mad Monster Party Film Festival in Charlotte, NC, and hopes to sneak on to film festival screens all around the world this year.
SYNOPSIS: For Sarah, it was just a job that started off like any other babysitting gig. But Sarah wasn’t the normal babysitter, and Jack wasn’t quite the normal boy that he appeared to be. He has a secret, a secret that he keeps trying to share, if he could only find someone to listen to him about the monsters in his room. As the night goes on and things start to turn from cute and harmless to creepy and haunting, Sarah can’t help but wonder… what if he’s telling the truth?
