Found-footage shocker MALIBU HORROR STORY, written and directed by Scott Slone, has a brand new trailer from Iconic Events Releasing, Sunny Oak Films and ShineHouse. MALIBU HORROR STORY stars Dylan Sprayberry (Teen Wolf, Light as a Feather, Sick), Robert Bailey Jr. (Nightshift, Emergence), Valentina de Angelis (Gossip Girl), Rebecca Forsythe (Replace, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), “Twisty” Troy James (Nightmare Alley, Hellboy, Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark), Douglas Tait (Annabelle Comes Home, Hellboy, Halloween Kills), Tommy Cramer, Veno Miller, Jacob Hughes, and Hector Gomez Jr. Said RUE MORGUE’s review of the film, “Slone’s film is genuinely frightening, shocking, and entertaining, even in the face of its own moral ambiguity.” 

Synopsis: MALIBU HORROR STORY follows a team of amateur paranormal investigators as they delve into a 10-year-old unresolved case, the disappearance of four popular high school boys on graduation night. While exploring a sacred cave in the hills of Malibu California, the team encounters chilling paranormal occurrences. As they analyze footage from the missing teens’ camera, they make a terrifying discovery involving an ancient curse which forces them to confront their own worst fears and unravel the sinister truth behind the boys’ vanishing.

MALIBU HORROR STORY is set to be released in theaters on October 20, 2023.
