Reel Chicago received a Backstage Casting Alert for the Indie feature film: The Creep of Crooked Creek
Production Description
Casting The Creep of Crooked Creek, a small, independent, handheld-camera horror-comedy that leans hard towards cartoonish, 1970’s/1980’s Euro-horror.
Production states: “Although our story takes place in modern-day Chicago, the vibe and aesthetic of this project is reflective of the colorful, ridiculous, icky, and silly tone of thrillers prevalent during that specific era. Think lots of fishnets, eyeshadow, blood, synths, alleyways, and absurd occult antics and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what The Creep of Crooked Creek will be like, including plenty of satirical sociocultural subtext. All characters in this film are essentially criminals in the act of manipulating each other to some extant and all have their own agendas. No one is innocent but some characters are bigger baddies than others. Having good, campy fun with these roles is what we’ll need. Actors with a passion for comedy are highly encouraged to apply.”
