Deep in the remote Appalachian hills, lives Piglet.
The son of a once industrious butcher and marred by tragedy, Piglet's solitary life is shattered when fame-hungry millennials trespass onto his land.
In a foolish bid to manufacture exploitation, one of them slaughters Piglet's beloved pig. Little do they know; they've just incurred the wrath of a vengeful killer. Incensed, Piglet brutally dispatches the trespassers one by one, displaying savage power.
“It's an amazing time to be a horror fan and an even more exciting time to be an indie filmmaker. I knew this would be a special kind of project as soon as I saw the script for "Piglet" and how different it stands against the current public domain frenzy that has taken over while delivering proper homage to classic slashers that we all grew up on.”
-August Aguilar
Piglet brings together an accomplished team of horror creators committed to crafting unique and memorable cinematic nightmares. The film is directed by August Aguilar, founder of Strange Films Studios. For nearly a decade, Strange Films Studios has produced award-winning original projects across film, music, art, comics, and podcasts screened worldwide.
Aguilar's previous directorial efforts like He Comes to Kill and The Gifted have earned acclaim on the festival circuit. With Piglet, he takes his bold visionary style in a thrilling new direction.
The screenplay was penned by Kelly M. Hudson, co-founder of SpookHouse MediaWorks. As the author of horror novels like Blood of the Ghastly Undead and The Seance, Hudson injects Piglet with his signature blend of scares and storytelling.
The film is produced by Kevin Millikin, whose film credits include Spider Baby and The Dark House of Mystery. Millikin's experience bringing memorable horror visions to life ensures Piglet will leave a lasting impact.
"When Kelly and I began the development of Piglet, we wanted to dig deep into the story. We spent the better part of a year understanding the nuts and bolts of our script and how it would fit within the overlapping mythology of our world. Because of this dedication, we were able to create a truly unique love letter and tribute to the slasher genre.”
-Kevin Millikin
No descent into horror would be complete without its musical backdrop. For Piglet, that unsettling atmosphere will come courtesy of legendary punk icon Dr. CHUD.
As the former drummer for the seminal horror-punk band The Misfits, as well as groups like Blitzkid, X-Ward, and Doyle, Dr. CHUD's extensive discography, oozes with the kind of raw, aggressive energy perfect for such terror.
“I've waited a long time for the perfect horror movie script to land on my slab, It's a perfect match of writers, directors, and producers, and I can't wait to sink my bloody teeth into this score, after reading "PIGLET" I immediately met up with the producers and told them I wanted this, the axe in my hand had nothing to do with them giving me the gig, I swear!"
-Dr. CHUD
His previous composition work on films like 30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story and Lloyd Kaufman's Shakespeare's Shitstorm demonstrates Dr. CHUD's ability to enhance the experiences sonically. For Piglet, he'll be crafting an original score and theme song that will have audiences' skin crawling.
Handling additional production, marketing, and publicity is Michael Joy, Vice President of Horror Village and Marketing Macabre. With over twenty years immersed in the horror genre, Joy's expertise will place Piglet at the forefront of the audience's darkest dreams.
I've done marketing for 100's of independent films and I can tell you that PIGLET is going to be something special. It's going to be that gritty lowdown filmmaking that made us all fall in love with films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's projects like this that reaffirm why I'm a fan of horror. That and I really like bacon. "
-Michael Joy
Bringing the film's practical effects visions to terrifying life is Ryan Smith of Alter Ego SFX Creations. Smith's credits include standout work as a Strange Films alumni on films like The Gifted, Center City 2, and Barb & Vick. Based in Philly, his passion for his craft is inspired by his 9-year-old daughter's love of art and Smith's desire to show her that pursuing your dreams can bring ultimate happiness.
From promotional build-up to final execution, every element of Piglet is meticulously constructed by true masters of the craft.
This is a team dedicated to dragging your childhood memories into the darkest depths of fear.
