First teaser for Tom Devlin's slasher comedy 'Teddy Told Me To'

"Did he just say there were real murders here?" A first teaser has debuted for an indie horror-comedy creation titled < em>Teddy Told Me To, a feature film based on the slasher villain "Teddy", which was created for the 2011 SyFy special effects makeup reality series "Face Off". The plot concerns "a pair of ghosts who set out to resurrect a closed Halloween haunt with a bloody past." It was filmed at filmmaker Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada. "As a lifelong fan of horror movies — slasher movies, in particular — I felt it was time to tell my own story which is a throwback to the fun slasher movies of my youth," says Devil. "I wanted to make a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously but plays well on a spooky October night or a fun summer sleepover. We filled it with gory effects, colorful characters and of the mandatory 3 B's. It's a love letter to not only the movies that inspired me - and their punk rock ethos, but also the hauntings of the world, and we hope it's a hell of a good time!" The indie horror film stars Topher Hansson, Kamarra Cole, Felissa Rose, Trent Hagga, Warrington Gillette, CJ Graham and Lisa Wilcox, with Michael Shields as "Teddy". There's not much to see in this 30 second teaser, but it looks gory and brutal.

Here is the first teaser (+ teaser poster) for Teddy Told Me To by Tom Devlin, from YouTube (via B-D):

When Danny and Zoe (Topher Hansson and Kamarra Cole) decide to buy an old haunted attraction, they think they're just going to have fun and make some money. After meeting real estate agent Jan (Lisa Wilcox) and gardener Ron (CJ Graham), they learn that the property has a bloody past. They audition and hire a full cast of haunting actors who work together to bring the former haunt back from the dead. Ron's brother scares the gang with his story of a family tragedy, the origin of the bear-masked killer "Teddy" (Jason Wallace), and the first murder to take place in the lair. On opening night, hauntings and crowds don't stand a chance as Teddy returns to his old stomping ground for more blood. Teddy Told Me To is realized by American horror fan/special effects guru/filmmaker Tom Devlin, who is making his directorial debut after working extensively in the special effects industry. The screenplay is written by Vincent Cusimano and Lola Devlin. Filmed on location at his famous Boulder City, NV roadside attraction, Tom Devlin's Monster Museum. It is produced by Tom Devlin and Kayla Bushell. There is no release date yet for this film and no festival premiere has been announced. Stay tuned for any updates.
