Horrified, a new horror comedy, will follow the story of a scream queen being haunted by the killer from her old franchise.

The film will see a down-on-her-luck scream queen (Julie Benz) return to the horror convention circuit for fast cash, only to find the pig-masked killer from her old franchise weaponizing her cult legacy against her friends and fans, forcing her to confront past demons and fight for survival in a blood-soaked slasher showdown.

Along with Benz, Busy Philipps (Mean Girls), Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and Jim Rash (The Way Way Back) also star.

It marks the feature debut of writer-director Michael Zara, a writer on three seasons of TNT drama Major Crimes.

It is produced by Randy Wayne and Talia Bella under their production company Rebellium Films (40 Dates and 40 Nights) alongside Zara and his production company Ghost Bunni, in association with arts charity Art of Elysium, EB Studios, and producer Daniel Hall.

Executive producers are Julie Benz, Busy Philipps, Ron Perlman, and Tom Biolchini. Co-producers are Carl Reid and Enrico Natale of Redbird Entertainment.

Deadline first reported on Horrified.
