Exclusive poster: “WHAT’S WRONG WENDY”? Apparently quite a lot; see the announcement video too

It’s the debut feature from a new horror outfit called FinalGhoul Films.

Spooky Madison, who has appeared on screen in a number of horror shorts and features, has scripted the upcoming fright feature WHAT’S WRONG WENDY, in which they will also co-star with Dylan Hughes, Anthony Dain and more cast to be announced. Dusty Austen of Street Rat Studios, which is co-producing with NewHire Entertainment, will direct the movie, described as “a sapphic tribute to the monstrous, feral women who struggle to hold onto their humanity. Think a dash of JENNIFER’S BODY, a sprinkle of GINGER SNAPS, and a dollop of HIGH TENSION, all rolled into the packaging of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.”

The synopsis: “Wendy Day is just an ordinary pizza delivery chick, planning to spend her Friday night driving around, collecting tips and listening to music. Instead, on her first delivery of the night she’s invited into a house party. Things take a dark turn when Wendy disappears from the party and later turns up bloodsoaked on the doorstep of her crush, Victoria Sinclair…and something is very, very wrong with Wendy.”

The WHAT’S WRONG WENDY team has launched an Indiegogo campaign, offering lots of perks and merch; you can check it out here.
