Introduction

Hi my name is Huw Lloyd and I’m a writer, director, host and creator of The Undead Wookie Podcast from Pontypool in South Wales. Over the years I have directed a number of short films, however last summer I directed a short film called School Hall Slaughter. Thanks to the wonderful and positive feedback we received, I have decided to turn School Hall Slaughter into a feature length film.

School Hall Slaughter is inspired by filmmakers such as Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava and John Carpenter. It has always been my ambition to try and create something that not only pays homage to these greats but brings something new and exciting to the slasher genre.

The short film was nearly eight years in the making and the feature script had spent the best part of eleven years in various different stages and desk draws. The idea was born out of one of those special moments that only a true horror fan can truly appreciate. Alone, in total darkness, wandering the corridors of the school I teach in search of a prop for a school production that had been left behind. The caretaker had let me into the building and swiftly vanished. So there I was fumbling around in partially lit corridors with only emergency lighting to guide my way. When my brain decided to ask the question, what if we couldn't get out and someone wanted to kill you? On that night School Hall Slaughter was born.  

Horror has always been my passion and with your help, we can not only make my dream come true but also that of the amazing cast and crew who are desperate to get the cameras rolling. I can’t wait to share the feature version of School Hall with you all.

Story

School Hall Slaughter is the story of a young teacher (Miss Franklin played by Emma Satcey) who becomes trapped inside her school by an unknown killer or killers. Join Miss Franklin as she tries to survive as those around her are picked off one by one. 

No one gets out of detention… Alive!

Meet our cast

Emma Stacey - Miss Franklin

 Emma Stacey, is a welsh actress who’s been working in the industry for over 3 years. Emma has worked on  several feature films where she been able to use her considerable stunt and combat skills. Emma has worked in mainstream TV shows alongside amazingly talented artists like the fantastic Dean Charles chapman, Martin Clunes and many more. Emma has also worked on stage from a very young age, music videos and voice over work. Emma said "When I’m not acting, I love being creative in other forms such as painting, baking and especially script writing, the latter of which I’ve been lucky to enough to do for companies such as BBC online and at the moment I’m writing my 1st feature film". Emma has also created some wonderful one off drawings inspired by School Hall Slaughter and these are available as part of the perk package. There is a sneaky peak one of Emma's drawing's below.

Derek Nelson - David 

Derek Nelson is an American filmmaker originally from Chicago and has been living in Wales since 2015. He has been working on horror films since 2016 and has appeared in such films as Cabin 28, Werewolves of the Third Reich, Revenge of Robert the Doll, Cleavers: Killer Clowns, Pandamonium and The Curse of Halloween Jack. His upcoming films include: A Werewolf in England, Vampire Virus, The Haunting of Margam Castle, The Jonestown Haunting and A Killer Next Door. He is incredibly excited to be apart of this project and cannot wait for what we have in store for you! 

Mandy Rose - Karrie 

Mandy Rose graduated from the University of Wales: Trinity Saint David in 2014 and has since been lucky enough to play the lead in numerous shorts and feature films.
Most notably; 'Laura' which was selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner in 2017 and 'In Absentia' which was filmed on Snowdon and stars the wonderful Claire Cage.

She also has a passion for dance and circus: training in Aerial Silks for several years as well as joining the core company of Neoteric Dance Company. She is also the co-creator of Functionally Dysfunctional - a Bouffant clown company that focuses on mental health awareness.

C L Raven - The Sisters 

C L Raven are identical twins and mistresses of the macabre. They're horror writers because 'bringers of nightmares' isn't a recognised job title. They write novels, short stories, comics and film scripts. Their work has been published in magazines and anthologies in the UK, USA and Australia. A story of theirs was published in The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper, which makes their fascination with him seem less creepy. They’ve worked on several indie horror films as crew and reluctant actors. In their spare time, they hunt ghosts, host a horror radio show, look after their animal army, and try to look impressive with polefit. They’ve opened a mobile poledance studio, are an embarrassment to gymnastics and have accidentally become burlesque performers.

What will we use your contributions for

In order to get School Hall Slaughter the feature into production I need to raise £5,000. This will pay for the cast, crew, locations, lighting, sound, feeding the cast and crew and the all important buckets of blood and gore. Every penny that you contribute goes directly into this film.

Perks

As a thank you for your contribution we have got some fantastic perks lined up for you. Every penny contributed to this campaign will go towards making School Hall the feature happen.

Challenges

Some people may ask, is now the time to be launching a crowdfunding campaign? Which is a great question because we are all faced with difficult times ahead. However, horror has always been a tremendous outlet and what better way to help people forgot their troubles, even for a short time, than a good old school slasher movie. Now is your opportunity to help us bring some marvellously monstrous characters to life. 

But remember if you can’t afford to donate that’s fine you can help us by spreading the word on social media.
