Mischief Maker Studios has just released the seventh of eight teaser posters for ‘The Graves.’ The final one-sheet for the film will feature art by Arthur Suydam of “Marvel Zombies” fame.
The poster profiles Reverend Stockton who is played by genre favorite, Tony Todd.
The full details are below:
“Unity, Arizona is one of the toughest places to live in the world. The victim of numerous droughts, fires, floods, and sicknesses, it is understandable that the townspeople cling to their church, and the trusted words of their charismatic leader, Reverend Abraham Stockton. But Unity’s hardships have taken their toll on Stockton’s psyche. Some say he is a prophet. Some say he is insane. Others say he speaks directly to higher powers. Turns out, that all may be right.”
The Graves is written and directed by independent comic book legend Brian Pulido (Chaos! Comics, Lady Death, Evil Ernie) and produced by Mischief Maker Studios, Brian and Dean Ronalds of Ronalds Brothers Productions (Netherbeast, Inc.). Production Design by Francisca Pulido. Director of Photography Adam Goldfine.”
‘The Graves’ is the feature film directorial debut of Brian Pulido (creator of comics “Lady Death” & “Evil Ernie”), starring acclaimed horror genre stars Clare Grant (Masters of Horror “Valerie Under the Stairs”), Jillian Murray (The Fun Park), Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects), Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm St., Dexter), D. Randall Blythe (singer, Lamb of God), Patti Tindall (Death of a Ghost Hunter) and Tony Todd (Final Destination I & II, the ‘Candyman’ series, NBC’s “Chuck”) as the Reverend Stockton.
Full Synopsis…
Megan and Abby Graves are inseparable sisters. Megan is a self-assured ass kicker. Abby is a caustic, Hot Topic Goth afraid of her own shadow. They couldn’t be less alike, but they share a life-long obsession with comics, pop culture and rock ‘n’ roll. Simply put, they are beautiful geeks.
In a few days, Megan will start a new job in New York. To send her off in style, the sisters go on a trip to uncharted Arizona in search of kitchy roadside attractions.
Instead, they’re lured to Skull City Mine, an abandoned mine town. But Skull City is anything but abandoned — and there’s no way out.
The sisters are now prey, forced to unleash their most primitive instincts in a desperate fight for survival against unspeakable horrors — both human and supernatural:
Caleb aka “Pig Man” (Bill Moseley) the twisted, wife-seeking serial killer, Reverend Abraham Stockton (Tony Todd), the insane leader of The Church of Devout Ascension, Deacon Luke (D. Randall Blythe), the church’s enforcer who is quite possibly a cannibal, Darlene Atwood (Amanda Wyss), the seemingly friendly waitress at Screamer’s diner who delivers tourists to their doom, Jonah Lee Atwood (Shane Stevens) – the ruthlessly efficient, reluctant killer and “Mama” Heinbecker (Barbara Glover) – the cold-hearted ticket taker who’s “handy” with knitting needles.
When Megan suffers a mortal wound, Abby must save her sister, but to do so, she must confront her fears and unlock the mystery of Skull City alone.
Can Abby survive Skull City’s threats? Can she rescue Megan or are the Graves doomed to a fate much worse than death?
Comic book “Horror Master” Brian Pulido (Lady Death, Evil Ernie) makes his feature debut with an intense, action-packed, mind-bender of a horror flick. The Graves is produced by Mischief Maker Studios and Brian & Dean Ronalds of Ronalds Brothers Productions. Francisca Pulido is the Production Designer and Adam Goldfine is the DP.
