The Horror Nerd is proud to be part of the production team on the latest film from the twisted minds at Theatre of Terror!!

The Theatre of Terror combines elements from classic Sci-Fi and Horror television into a brand new, terrifyingly surreal experience, shown from the perspective of four unsuspecting moviegoers. Join us, as we take you into the lives of a deeply shattered soul, a delusional book lover, an unscrupulous hillbilly, and a gruesomely dysfunctional family, each with their own deep, dark desires.
Production Team Statement
Theatre of Terror is comprised of Director/ Writer/Actor Thomas Ryan, Writer/Assistant Director/Actor Russell Hackett, and Production Coordinator/Supervisor/Actress Diane Hackett. We are also pleased to introduce Public Relations Guru and Special Advisor Todd Staruch to our team for this production. Together, we have spent the past year collaborating and fine-tuning our efforts to present the creepiest experience of your lifetime.
Joining us behind the camera are the following ultra-talents:
Cinematographers: John Iwasz, Louis Libitz, Mark Boutros
F/X artists: Michael Scardillo, Beatrice Sniper, Nelson Vilela, Rotton Kandy SFX
We have developed an Anthology of four short films which reflect our deep passion for old-style Sci-Fi and Horror television shows, such as The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Tales from the Darkside. The stories on tap are highly reflective of a life-long obsession with these programs, and a fervent desire to pay tribute to the masters who brought them to countless viewers so long ago. We are so devoted to this project, that we literally put our name on it.
In addition to honoring childhood heroes, our production team has made certain to assemble only the finest talent to intimately capture and portray a vast array of scenes and characters, with the degree of sensitivity needed to create scenes of horrific, soul-altering beauty.
We welcome you to join us on our journey, as you can also stake a claim to be amongst many others not unlike yourselves.
