Rooster Teeth wrapped last summer on its third feature film, horror comedy Blood Fest from Austin’s beloved writer director Owen Egerton. The film had its World Premiere as one of the Midnighters at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival.
Blood Fest tells the story of a horror festival where the scares and danger are more real than the attendees counted on. The new film stars Jacob Batalon (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Seychelle Gabriel (Falling Skies), Robbie Kay (Heroes Reborn), Barbara Dunkelman (RWBY), Nick Rutherford (SNL, Crunch Time), and Tate Donovan (The Man in the High Castle) as well as Egerton himself as a sadistic festival organizer, determined to bring his favorite horror tropes to terrifying life.
I visited the set last summer on two occasions, both at locations that were brilliant repurposing of local Austin buildings I would never have suspected were housing gallons and gallons of fake blood. Watching Egerton direct is both similar and different than watching him host One Page Salon or hop on stage for a Master Pancake skit.
