Stan Helsing Trailer

Anchor Bay have secured the American rights to the horror comedy Stan Helsing, written and directed by Bo Zenga, one of the executive producers of Scary Movie. The movie will receive a US theatrical release during Fall 2009 and will then be released on DVD in late October.

The spoof centers around a video store clerk named Stan Helsing, played by Steve Howey, who learns that he is a descendant of the monster hunter Van Helsing on Halloween night while making a routine video delivery. He finds himself in a battle with parodies of such movie monsters as Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Pinhead, Michael Myers and Chucky.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one… On the one hand it’s a horror spoof featuring 6 of the most iconic characters of all time, and on the other it’s another “from one of the producers of Scary Movie” film – the last one advertised with that monicker was the dire Disaster Movie!
