Courtesy of Fantasia Festival When the New York-based sketch group Simple Town considered making a movie, horror seemed like the most practical way in.
“We obviously wanted it to be a funny movie because we’re a comedy group,” Sam Lanier, the film’s writer and a cast member, said. “But we felt that the horror genre would be a super fun way to make a movie, because it’s a way to get an interesting plot into a comedy. We sometimes feel like it’s hard to make comedies interesting, like you want to know what happens next. So we thought, ‘OK, what’s a scary, real, dark thing about our lives that we could write about?’”
