Seth Green Plays Harry the Evil Hat in Trailer for the Horror Comedy HANKY PANKY
Here’s a fun trailer for a new horror comedy titled Hanky Panky which follows a “man and a talking napkin save the world from an evil top-hat, and also learn to love.” Seth Green plays Harry the Evil Hat. This looks like a silly little fun genre film that was made on no budget, and it was directed by Lindsey Haun and Nick Roth.
The filmmakers talk about the movie saying: “Hanky Panky was inspired by the way certain zany comedies like Wet Hot American Summer and Caddyshack seemed to capture the energy of locking their whole cast and crew together in, say, a summer camp, or a coke-orgy fueled hotel in the middle of a Florida hurricane with Chevy Chase — and then somehow get that energy on screen.”
They added details on how the film got made saying: “We shot Hanky Panky in Lindsey’s dad’s cabin in the mountains above Heber, Utah, where the entire cast and crew crammed together, at 8,000ft of elevation, during the most intense blizzard ever recorded there. It was a true anarcho-communist-guerilla production: literally no budget, nobody got paid, everyone chipped in for food and drugs, and we all cooperatively own the film now.”
They continued: “We shot it on a camera our team won with a short film at Slamdance in 2015. A friend who shoots porn let us borrow his lights. By far our biggest expense was that Lindsey backed her car into Nick’s in the blizzard and knocked out a headlight, so that did cost us like $900 to fix. It was crazy. Everyone went a little bit crazy. Some of us went a lot a bit crazy. It’s our hope that a bunch of that fun, contagious craziness has ended up on the screen.”
The cast also includes Jacob DeMonte-Finn, Ashley Holliday Tavares, Christina Laskay, Anthony Rutowicz, Clare Grant, Azure Parsons, Lindsey Haun, Nick Roth, and Toby Bryan.
Hanky Panky will be streaming on April 19th on Google Play, Apple TV, Vudu, and Amazon. Check out the trailer.
