Jennifer Chambers Lynch has been named the director of horror thriller “Hellfest,” CBS Films announced Thursday.
Gale Anne Hurd (“Aliens,” “The Walking Dead”) was named producer of the scary movie back in 2011, with Gary Dauberman hired in 2012 to polish the script. At that time CBS Films had hopes to turn the title into a franchise.ย
The film follows a funย Halloween night at a horror theme park gone deadlyย when a costumed killer begins taking outย unsuspecting revelersย who believe the killings are part of the show.
Production is scheduled to begin this winter at an undisclosed theme park.
