EXCLUSIVE: Horror-comedy Haunted Heist, which is about to star Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), has added Andrew ‘King Bach’ Bachelor (The Babysitter), Karlous Miller (Wild ‘N Out), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Ari Dayan (Entitled), Tony Baker (One of Them Days), and newcomer Tara Terry.
Currently in pre-production, Haunted Heist will mark the directorial debut of Howery. The screenplay, written by Carl Reid (Mr. Crocket), follows 4 estranged associates who reunite at a seemingly typical home. Unbeknownst to them, one pal intends to rob the place, searching for a beneficial vintage. However, the home is haunted, and the group should confront their variations to outlive the night time towards a number of mischievous ghosts.
Pic is being produced by Sean King O’Grady (I Love My Dad), Josh Feldman and Jesse Ford (Mr. Crocket), and Lil Rel Howery. Executive producers embrace Feras M. Shammami, Priscilla Ross Smith, and Kendall Anlian. DoP is James McMillan (Twisted Metal) and editor is Shane Patrick Ford (The Mill).
Worldwide gross sales are dealt with by The Coven, which not too long ago dealt with gross sales on The Terrifier franchise. The mission marks The Coven’s second manufacturing enterprise, following Canadian exorcism thriller Shadow of God, starring Jacqueline Byers and Mark O’Brien, which was simply introduced as an April 2025 launch by Shudder.
“Casting actors who also do stand-up comedy was so important to me. I believe some of our greatest actors come from the stand-up world whether they are doing comedy or dramatic roles and wanted to display that range in this movie to merge the world of horror and comedy,” stated Howery.
