Welcome to "First State of Fear"
Greetings from Clockout Films! We’re here to create an anthology horror film that’s sure to chill your bones and make you grin! "First State of Fear" is not just a love letter to classic anthology horror like Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt—it’s also our tribute to Delaware's rich history of hauntings and local legends. We’re blending the eerie stories of the First State with a playful, spooky vibe that horror fans love.
Join us on a ghost hunt with our paranormal investigators as they share three terrifying tales on Halloween night. These aren’t just any ghost stories—they’re inspired by Delaware’s haunted history, adding an extra layer of local lore to the film. If you're into eerie twists, haunted places, and a dash of dark humor, you’re in for a treat.
Following the success of our last film, Slaughter Beach, we’re stepping up our game with better production, scarier stories, and even a few celebrity cameos. With your support, we’ll create a film that delivers the scares and brings that fun, campy horror energy we all know and love. Plus, we’ve got some killer perks lined up for you!
What We Need & What You Get

Celebrity Cameos: We’re lining up some exciting guest stars, and your support will help bring these familiar faces to the screen.

Production Costs: Everything from set design to special effects and post-production needs a boost to ensure the film is as spooky as it is polished

Our Aim with "First State of Fear"
"First State of Fear" is our tribute to both classic anthology horror and Delaware hauntings. Think Creepshow, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and Tales from the Crypt, but with our own twist—rooted in the spooky history of our home state. We grew up on these stories, and now we’re bringing that playful, eerie energy into our own tales, blending local legends with a fresh, fun spin.
This film isn’t just about jump scares; it’s about keeping that campy, eerie charm alive while paying homage to the ghost stories that have haunted Delaware for generations. And if you supported Slaughter Beach, you already know we’ve got what it takes to deliver on these promises—only this time, we’re turning up the spooky factor even more.

Risks & Challenges
Every film has its challenges, but we’re a team that thrives on creativity and problem-solving. Sure, upgrading equipment and securing celebrity cameos is ambitious, but we’ve faced tricky shoots before and always come out stronger. Plus, we keep things light and fun—because that’s how we roll!
We’re also committed to growing as filmmakers right here in Delaware. This project is a big step for us in showing that the First State can be a home for killer indie horror. Each project helps us grow, learn, and stay connected with our community—all while having a blast making scary movies!
