WHEN: Friday, December 3, 7:30PM PST.

WHERE: Cinemark 18 & XD – Theater 9
6081 Center Dr., Suite 201, Los Angeles, CA 90045

Scott Slone’s horror-thriller follows a group of amateur paranormal investigators creating a documentary about four teens missing since 2012, a case that remains unsolved despite recovered camera footage from the day of their disappearance. The investigation leads them to the teens’ last known whereabouts: a cave deep in the Malibu mountains, where they set up camp.

The film features Dylan Sprayberry (MAN OF STEEL; Teen Wolf; Glee), Robert Bailey Jr. (Emergence, Shameless, The Night Shift), Valentina de Angelis (Gossip Girl, As The World Turns), and Rebecca Forsythe (WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) as the paranormal investigators; Douglas Tait (Legacies, Star Trek: Picard, HELLBOY, Teen Wolf, Grimm) and Troy James (What We Do in the Shadows, MALIGNANT, The Flash, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, The Strain) as demons, brought to life by realistic and skin-crawling visual effects.

WHO: In attendance will be MALIBU HORROR STORY leads Robert Bailey Jr., Valentina de Angelis, and Rebecca Forsythe; writer/director Scott Slone; model Jeremy Meeks; singer-songwriter Lyrica Anderson (Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood); rapper Bankrol Hayden; actor William Forsythe (RAISING ARIZONA, The Man in the High Castle, Boardwalk Empire); Disney Channel star Kylie Cantrall (Gabby Duran & the Unsittables); actor/comedian Michael Blackson (30 Rock, Wild ‘N Out, COMING 2 AMERICA); actress Talia Jackson (Family Reunion); actress Reylynn Caster (The Young and the Restless, American Housewife); and actor Amani Jackson (READY PLAYER ONE, Grey’s Anatomy).

WHAT ELSE: After painstaking production spanning ten years, Slone is excited to have MALIBU HORROR STORY continue its festival run with upcoming selections at Shockfest Film Festival and more to come.
