Plot: Sometime in the late seventies, six-year-old Jerrod experiences gut-wrenching
tragedy and is subsequently haunted by relentless nightmares in which a strange raven-
like creature tracks him through dark woods, leading him to a ferocious armored warrior, a
terrifying harbinger of the god of death. Years later, private detective Joanna Stang
surveys a grisly murder scene in which a head has been severed and the body left to rot
in a bathtub: the work of a psychotic murderer known as the “Angel of Death".
Cast: Jude Hickey, Sawyer Davis, Leon Blum, Leo Wheeler, Jalene Mack, Jeremy Wasson,

We have been informed that Odyssee Pictures has a brand new website with a lot of new
coverage on their feature horror film NECROPHOBIA, currently in post-production. In the
site you will find some great stuff in the press room including a trailer, music video and
production stills, there's an on-set photo gallery, and a new video production diary series.
Just head over to odysseepictures.com for all the good stuff. Necrophobia is a feature
horror film written, directed, lit, shot and edited by Stacy Davidson, and it features
ghosts, carnival freaks, headless people, a tentacled monster, a skeletal demon creature,
a psycho slasher with a huge, rusty auto-sickle, leather/spike clad warriors from a Dante's
Inferno-like "DeadWorld", and of course the walking dead. There are dozens of practical
latex F/X and over 100 CG F/X shots, all done by Odyssee Pictures as well.
Necrophobia is "old school." The cinematography is dark, but vibrant and colorful, a style
similar to Suspiria and Inferno. The film structure is one that shifts from a classic horror
style (Vampyr, Nasferatu), to a more 80's style in the second act, and becomes a balls-
out, guns blazing action/horror film in the third act (shades of Aliens.) During the unusually
hot summer of 1999, a maniac slasher known as The Angel of Death is stalking the
shadows of Texas and folks are keeping their windows shut and their doors locked. Jerrod
(Jude Hickey), a twenty-something hitchhiker down on his luck, comes upon a help wanted
sign for a suspicious looking roadside haunted house called "ScreamWorld". His four-mile
hike to the facility is a skin-crawling experience in which he is stalked at every step by
strange, creeping phantoms that take the form of shadows.
He finds the gargantuan haunted house a ghost town, whose only denizen seems to be a
hulking beast by the name of Bo Jack (Juan Carlos). After becoming thoroughly lost inside
the dark complex, Jerrod discovers the Gimp Pit, a narrow hall leading to a series of steps.
As smoke rises from the top, a hatch flies open and Buferd (Leo Wheeler) rises wearing a
gas mask, violently shoving a shotgun into Jerrods face. He drags the terrified hitchhiker
to his boss, Mr. Joad (Frank Page), who decides that Jerrod may be worth more as an
electrician than as a corpse. The next day, Jerrod begins to suspect that the attractions
locked up in the still-under-construction basement area of the haunted house, known as
"Necrophobia: Museum of the Damned and the Depraved", may be something far more
dangerous than plastic skeletons in rubber chains.
As the crowd outside grows and metal bands rock the stage, a van full of radio station
deejays pull up for a live remote broadcast from within the haunted house. It is an hour
into the live broadcast... and the power begins to fail. Buferd nervously un-racks his
shotgun. Jerrod searches the shadows for faulty wiring. Lisa (Sawyer Davis) calls out in
the dark for her lost nephew. Tensions rise to a fever pitch with the deejays. Arguing
ensues. Drunken passion. Drugs. And with the drop of a curved and rusty blade, a single
head rolls across the metal floor and drops into the open hatch of the Gimp Pit. The Angel
of Death is among us. Before the night is done, more blood will fly, more heads will roll,
Griffins museum of undead sideshow freaks will be unleashed upon the terrified
customers... and that's only the beginning.
