The New York City Horror Film Festival approaches quickly this week, beginning October 26, 2017, running through October 29, 2017. As you may know, Horror News Radio co-host and Gruesome Magazine contributor Santos Ellin, Jr. was a part of the festival committee and spoke about the festival often. We will be spotlighting a number of the films playing at the festival throughout the week. Up first…

We received word from our dear old buddy filmmaker and producer P.J. Starks about a new horror project he is involved with named CLOSE CALLS. Set to hit screens this upcoming spring the feature is directed by S & Drives Pictures founder Richard Stringham.

Close Calls features a troubled teen girl (Morgan) who is forced to stay home and tend to her crazy grandma after being grounded by her father. But when daddy leaves for a dinner date, Morgan’s paranoia heightens as she starts receiving several disturbing phone calls while dealing with grandma. Between all the phone calls, the drugs she has taken, and surprise visits from some unexpected guests, Morgan now thinks everyone around her is out to kill her. And to make matters worse … she keeps forgetting to give grandma her meds.

This upcoming feature-length horror film from S & Drive Pictures was produced and written by S & Drive’s founder, Richard Stringham, who started the independent production company in Sherwood, Arkansas. Vowing to make a retro horror piece that tipped its hat to heroes like Baya Argento, Hooper, Craven Kubrick and Lynch … Stringham assembled a local team of Arkansans to force Close Calls into existence. He also joined forces with Volumes of Blood creator P.J. Starks, who signed on as Associate Producer for the project.
