Larry Fessenden, indie auteur and founder of Glass Eye Pix, has wrapped principal photography on his eighth feature, a powerful ode to classic monster mash-ups which also serves as a direct sequel to three of his most iconic films.

Universal Pictures’ back-to-back hits HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1944) and HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945) famously grouped together Frankenstein’s Monster, Count Dracula, and The Wolf Man, allowing audiences to experience the studio’s most iconic monsters sharing the screen for the very first time. 80 years later, LARRY FESSENDEN’S TRAUMA OR, MONSTERS ALL places the filmmaker’s beloved visions of this trio of ghouls under one roof, offering up an unexpectedly humanist and uncanny tale.

LARRY FESSENDEN’S TRAUMA OR, MONSTERS ALL sees the striking return of the vampiric Sam, played by Fessenden, from his 1995 classic HABIT, alongside modern Prometheus creation Adam, portrayed once more by Alex Breaux from Fessenden’s 2019 festival favorite DEPRAVED. Joining them is the lycanthropic Charley Barrett (Alex Hurt), from the filmmaker’s most recent creature feature, BLACKOUT (2023).

Heading the cast in her first feature film role, is Laëtitia Hollard, who has since been tapped for a recurring part on HBO’s The Pitt. Hollard is joined by co-star Aitana Doyle, previously seen in IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T SING. Among the many Fessenden regulars returning are Addison Timlin, James Le Gros, John Speredakos, Cody Kostro, Marc Senter, Rigo Garay, and Joseph Castillo-Midyett, alongside Joshua Leonard, who has stepped out of retirement to appear, and horror icon Barbara Crampton. Casting on the picture was handled by Lois Drabkin.

Filming took place in Upstate New York, playing for Fessenden’s Talbot Falls, the fictional horror hamlet first featured inBLACKOUT. The feature was lensed by Sharif El Neklawy, heading a team of indie artisans working on and off over the course of a three-month span.

Fessenden, a lifelong fan of Universal Monster classics and the powerful messages about us that they can convey, says, “It was a slightly absurd mission to present my existential take on these monsters in a contemporary mash-up, but I enjoyed the challenge and I hope the film will feel both familiar and provocative.”
