The big house becomes a haunted house in a chiller that’s out next week.
Gravitas Ventures releases PARANORMAL PRISON in select theaters and on VOD February 19. Directed by Brian Jagger from a script he wrote with Randall Reese, it stars Todd Haberkorn, Paris Warner, Don Shanks (HALLOWEEN 5), Corynn Treadwell, Easton Lay and Brian Telestai. The synopsis: “The impending demolition of an abandoned prison has the paranormal investigation team ‘The Skeptic and the Scientist’ rushed to spend a locked-in night within the prison’s walls before the wrecking balls start swinging, turning the now state historical building to condos. Knowing their channel needs views, team leader Matthew [Haberkorn] funds one last-ditch effort in hopes the device science expert Sara [Warner] has invented will be their ticket to fame and fortune. Along with their sound technician Ashley [Treadwell], cameraman Jacob [Telestai] and guided by their assigned park ranger, the team recorded everything, hoping to capture elusive spirits. What they captured instead will change paranormal investigation forever, and may have even solved a long-standing mystery.”
