Neil Marshall is teaming up with CBS Films to bring us HELLFEST, a new Halloween set slasher featuring a costumed killer stalking the innocent visitors of a spooky theme park attraction.

Up and coming screenwriters William Penick & Chris Sey, whose only previous credit is the made for TV horror SECRETS IN THE WALLS, are on script duty, with industry legend Gale Ann Hurd (THE WALKING DEAD) producing for her company Valhalla Entertainment.

Marshall has a huge following thanks to genre favourites such as DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT, so coupled with a savvy producer like Hurd we’re probably looking at a brand new horror franchise in the making.

We’ll have more on this as it develops…
