Fundraising Continues for Indie Horror Comedy, “Cult of Blood”

With the help of horror fans and supporters throughout the world, creator Robbie Lopez presents the film CULT OF BLOOD. The team is currently moving onto putting the finishing touches on the horror-comedy, which is set to release in Spring 2022. 

Lopez and Newt Wallen (Angry Video Game Nerd, Hack The Movies) collaborated on a story that they described as “Green Room meets From Dusk Till Dawn.” CULT OF BLOOD is a horror-comedy that follows a group of influencers as they set out to review a typical night on the town, only to be lured into the craziest and most blood-soaked party of their lives.

CULT OF BLOOD is full of familiar faces. It stars Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and Nadia White (Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 2) as the town’s lead vampires.  In addition, Matthew Jackson (The Date) and Bryan Slusher (Texas Death Trippin’) play their captivating cronies. 

Larissa Dali (Evil for Dinner), Dan Gregory (Cabin of Errors), KateLynn E. Newberry (Auditorium 6), Jessie Hobson (Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich), Ryan A. Johnson (Death Alley), and Isabelle Bearce (Born to Raise Hell) make up CULT OF BLOOD’s collection of online influencers and their dates. 

The duo of Mikael Mattsson (Chop Chop, Mr. Bowling Ball) and Kyle Ament (Strawberry Hill) shine as the local cops, and Thomas Smith (The Xenophonbes) completes the cast as the curious book store owner.

Fans can still assist with funding the film, with a second Indiegogo campaign now live!  Perks continue to be added daily, and not only could you be in the film, but you can buy a piece of it right now!
