About the film:
Necrophobia is a feature horror film written, directed, lit, shot and edited by Stacy Davidson, and it features ghosts, carnival freaks, headless people, a tentacled monster, a skeletal demon creature, a psycho slasher with a huge, rusty auto-sickle, leather/spike clad warriors from a Dante's Inferno-like "DeadWorld", and of course the walking dead. There are dozens of practical latex F/X and over 100 CG F/X shots, all done by Odyssee Pictures as well.

Necrophobia is "old school." The cinematography is dark, but vibrant and colorful, a style similar to Suspiria and Inferno. The film structure is one that shifts from a classic horror style (Vampyr, Nasferatu), to a more 80's style in the second act, and becomes a balls-out, guns blazing action/horror film in the third act (shades of Aliens.)

Short synopsis:
During the unusually hot summer of 1999, a maniac slasher known as The Angel of Death is stalking the shadows of Texas and folks are keeping their windows shut and their doors locked.

Jerrod (Jude Hickey), a twenty-something hitchhiker down on his luck, comes upon a "help wanted" sign for a suspicious looking roadside haunted house called "ScreamWorld". His four-mile hike to the facility is a skin-crawling experience in which he is stalked at every step by strange, creeping phantoms that take the form of shadows. He finds the gargantuan haunted house a ghost town, whose only denizen seems to be a hulking beast by the name of Bo Jack (Juan Carlos). After becoming thoroughly lost inside the dark complex, Jerrod discovers the Gimp Pit, a narrow hall leading to a series of steps. As smoke rises from the top, a hatch flies open and Buferd (Leo Wheeler) rises wearing a gas mask, violently shoving a shotgun into Jerrod's face. He drags the terrified hitchhiker to his boss, Mr. Joad (Frank Page), who decides that Jerrod may be worth more as an electrician than as a corpse.

The next day, Jerrod begins to suspect that the attractions locked up in the still-under-construction basement area of the haunted house, known as "Necrophobia: Museum of the Damned and the Depraved", may be something far more dangerous than plastic skeletons in rubber chains.

As the crowd outside grows and metal bands rock the stage, a van full of radio station deejays pull up for a live remote broadcast from within the haunted house. It is an hour into the live broadcast... and the power begins to fail. Buferd nervously un-racks his shotgun. Jerrod searches the shadows for faulty wiring. Lisa (Sawyer Davis) calls out in the dark for her lost nephew. Tensions rise to a fever pitch with the deejays. Arguing ensues. Drunken passion. Drugs. And with the drop of a curved and rusty blade, a single head rolls across the metal floor and drops into the open hatch of the Gimp Pit.

The Angel of Death is among us.

Before the night is done, more blood will fly, more heads will roll, Griffin 's museum of undead sideshow freaks will be unleashed upon the terrified customers... and that's only the beginning.
