The film is set to be released on October 23, 2009 by Anchor Bay Entertainment. Its Halloween night, and Stoner video clerk Stan Helsing (Steve Howey of Reba) along with his insanely sexy ex-girlfriend (Diora Baird of The Wedding Crashers and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), his best buddy (Kenan Thompson of SNL) and an "exotic dancer"/"massage therapist" (Desi Lydic)- detour into a town cursed by parodies of 6 of the biggest monsters in movie history: Freddy / Nightmare on Elm Street, Jason/Friday the 13th, Inhead / Hellraiser, Leatherface / The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Chucky / Child's Play and Michael Myers / Halloween. But when Stan discovers that he's a direct descendant of the legendary monster hunter Van Helsing, the four have to survive a night with the monsters, homicidal hitchhikers, vampire strippers, killer karaoke, and the temptations of lots of hot chicks.
Anchor Bay recently released the poster for their upcoming horror/comedy “Stan Helsing,” as well as a short list of theaters brave enough to actually screen the flick for desperate movie-goers looking for cheap, low-brow entertainment. Thing is, I’m was initially kind of intrigued by the film’s premise, that is, until I caught sight of a particularly disturbing quote about halfway down the poster. Much to my horrifying dismay, the film is from the executive producer of “Scary Movie,” a franchise that is responsible for all of those insipid spoof movies we’re subjected to each and every year. Had I known this information in advance, I seriously doubt I would have wasted time pondering its potential. I feel dirty, and immediately require a hot shower.
If you’re one of the four people who are jonesing for this movie’s upcoming release, take a look at the list of theaters that have agreed to show it:
