“Best Worst Movie” Director to make a Vampire Film

Michael Stephenson, the child star of Troll 2 and director of Best Worst Movie, is set to direct his first feature film, a dark horror comedy called Destroy. The dark comedy is set in a world where vampires don’t exist but a makeshift vampire hunter is moving swiftly across Bavaria laying wooden stakes into hearts left and right. While he thinks he’s saving the world, he and new assistant Elise are mistakenly murdering sweet, innocent old men. According to Shocktillyoudrop, Destroy’s tone lands it somewhere between ’80s genre classics like An American Werewolf in London and contemporary comedies like Shaun of the Dead. The script is penned by Alamo Drafthouse lead programmer Zack Carlson and Bryan Connolly, who recently co-authored the demented punk rock movie guide “Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film.”
