A young woman’s quest for clues to her birth father’s brutal murder leads her to a haunted corn maze, where she gets pulled into a generational battle from beyond the grave with a vengeful pack of hot-rod hellraisers.
Jessica Duffy is a hard-working 20-year-old film student who just wants to let her hair down and go out clubbing with her girlfriend. But her plan to make a fake ID falls short after learning her birth certificate is sealed and looks to her mother for answers.
Jess’s whole world comes crashing down when she learns that her dad is her adoptive father and that her real father was a car mechanic who was murdered when he was just seventeen years old. Jess’s mom gives her an old photo album of Grady Von Park, her real father.
Feeling completely betrayed and blind-sided, Jess leaves home to stay with her girlfriend, Martina.
Jess and Martina begin to investigate her father’s murder. A photo from the album leads them to a car mechanic named Carlos who tells them all he knows; that her dad was murdered by the evil leader of an outlaw gang of hot rodrs. A bad-ass speed queen and spider breeder named Tara Revell, AKA Tarantula.
Carlos tells Jess about Grady’s dad, her grandfather, Vincent Von Park, a very famous artist among the custom car community. And that Von Park, as payback for her dad’s murder, mysteriously & violently killed Tarantula and her entire gang at a cornfield years ago on Halloween night.
CornStalkers explodes onto the screen when Jess, Martina & her film school buddies go to the cornfield where it all happened. But the Von Park blood running through Jess’s veins awakens Tarantula and the vengeful energy there. Now Jess and her friends are caught in the cross-hairs as Tarantula and her hot rod hellraisers are back from beyond the grave and their evil is firing on all cylinders again.
It’s high-octane horror going ninety miles an hour – so buckle up and prepare for some tight turns. CornStalkers – they’re right behind you!
High-Octane Marketing
Vincent Von Park (the Grandfather) is based on the infamous icon, Von Dutch, Kenneth Robert Howard. His celebrity value among the Kustom Kulture movement has never been tapped for a narrative film before. There are an estimated 2,000,000 hot rodders in the country and over 45,000 car clubs.
Michael Bayouth is an artist, writer, and director. And, you can visualize what he writes because he’s also a Union Storyboard Artist. He’s known for his storyboarding of tricky sequences for movies and series TV, such as HULU’s Books of Blood, The Orville, Salem, and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty on HBO. Directors such as Nick Copus, Joe Dante, and Brannon Braga, have all trusted him with their most crucial sequences – and in some cases even had him conceptualize and re-invent broken or unscripted scenes. Doing Doc Ock’s tentacle test shots on Spider-Man 2 with Sam Raimi, Steve Johnson and John Dykstra helped hone his knowledge of practical effects while his experience as a movie poster art director, working for the majors, such as Disney and Universal, add a unique marketing ability to his quiver.
