Finally!  Yes, finally we are going to get the Candy Corn movie after a few years of teases and funding drama.  Writer/Director Josh Hasty teamed up with my favorite Local Boogeyman and is now releasing the movie this year!  And…..perfectly in time for Halloween!  Want a teaser poster?  Here ya go:

Well that’s all kinds of Halloween-themed awesomeness.  Hopefully Candy Corn can take the bad taste out of my mouth from last year’s Halloween remake.  So, not only does the move take place around Halloween – it boasts some heavy hitting horror vets as well in the cast: P.J. Soles (Halloween), Courtney Gains (Children Of The Corn), Tony Todd (Candyman), and Pancho Moler (Rob Zombie’s 31).  Brief synopsis below before I get into the really exciting stuff:

It’s the eve of Halloween in Grove Hill, Ohio.  A traveling carnival is in town for the weekend and local outcast, Jacob Atkins, has been hired as one of the freaks in the event’s main attraction, “Dr.Death’s Side Show Spook House Spectacular”.  Meanwhile, a group of local bullies are planning their annual public hazing of Jacob, but this year things go too far.

You want more?  Ok, ok.  How about if I leave you with the very first teaser trailer for Candy Corn?  And I have to say, the look of this really impressed me.  Kudos to Josh Hasty.  And kudos to you guys, because I know you’re going to support it when it comes out later this year!  Who actually likes candy corn candy btw?
