The Horror Collective has announced the North American theatrical and TVOD release of their LGBTQ horror comedy “Summoning Sylvia.”
Written and directed by Wesley Taylor (“Smash”) and Alex Wyse (“Marvel’s Iron Fist”), the hair-raising romp tells the story of Larry, who has been kidnapped by his three best friends for a bachelor weekend getaway at a haunted house. As they sashay through the dusty corridors, the comrades recount the house’s legend from a hundred years ago: a murderous woman named Sylvia slaughtered her son and buried him beneath the house’s floorboards. But then Larry remembers that he was supposed to spend the weekend bonding with Harrison, his mysterious future brother-in-law. Horrified at his oversight, Larry invites the army-uniformed, hetero Harrison to join his gaggle’s gaycation, neglecting to run it by his friends. Later, as they hold a high-spirited séance to summon the sinister Sylvia, the group ends up welcoming more houseguests than they bargained for.
The cast of “Summoning Sylvia” includes Travis Coles (“Superstore”), Michael Urie (“Younger”), Frankie Grande (“Henry Danger”), Nicholas Logan (“I Care a Lot”), Troy Iwata (“Dash & Lily”), Noah Ricketts (“American Gods”), Sean Grandillo (“Scream: The TV Series”), Camden Garcia (“Station 19”), and Veanne Cox (“You’ve Got Mail”) as the titular specter.
The Horror Collective will release “Summoning Sylvia” in theaters nationwide on March 31, 2023, and on Cable VOD and Digital HD on April 7, 2023.
