In 2014, I set out to create a New Slasher Character reminiscent of the Horror Heavyweights of films past. This would lead to the creation of The Wicked One, a corrupted teen who transforms into a hulking psychopath in a scarecrow mask. It would take two years, but finally The Wicked One premiered at Fright Night Film Festival 2016 to a sold out crowd of nearly 600 people. The film took home six awards that evening and a few months later, went on to screen at HorrorHound Weekend to another large crowd, before being released domestically by Petri Entertainment in 2017. The film sold out its first pressing on day one at all major retailers and to this day is still the most financially successful film I’ve ever released. Since its release, the film has went on to win several more awards, introduce a second installment Wicked Ones, amass cosplayers in different countries, appear on the top Horror Websites and Publications and surpass all expectations I could have dreamed up for a tiny little indie flick made for no money. I’ve spent the last 9 years taking this character from conventions to film festivals and everywhere in between building this brand, all in hopes of getting to this Moment...
The BOY from BELOW is the Wicked One Movie Fans Deserve and I've always wanted to make. With A REAL Budget, Talented Cast and Crew, It is my hope to deliver a film and Character, Horror Fans will respond to and love for years to come. This is not a remake, but in many ways a retelling of that original film and a fresh direction and story for this character. In an era starved for original Horror Characters crossing over into Main Stream Pop Culture, I am prepared to take my biggest swing for the fences in hope of bringing to life an original Antagonist and Franchise. Not to mention, this film includes elements that were so informative in establishing my love and passion for the Genre and Filmmaking like The VIDEO STORE, Halloween Season, and more! This is a Fresh Start, A Reimagining, A New Direction!

For the Better Part of 14 Years my Company, Jonestown Films has been Producing and Delivering Low Budget Indie Horror Content, all of which has been acquired for Distribution and Released. I started my Indie film career in 2009 with a small fan film tribute to Halloween, and two years later produced and directed my first original film "Killbillies" However my professional career didn't find it's footing until the creation of the character we are here discussing on this campaign "The Wicked One." This character is the foundation of my indie film career. One of the Most Exciting Elements about my company is each film's budget has doubled in size and scale since its inception.
Our Film Library is available on most streaming platforms or physical media can be ordered at some major retailers online.
