“This will be a weekend of light, love, and oneness.” Get ready for a bonkers horror comedy arriving on 4/20 weekend. We missed this trailer when it first dropped a few weeks ago, but there’s still time to catch up with it. Hanky Panky is a zany no-budget indie comedy made by filmmakers Lindsey Haun & Nick Roth, who were inspired by Wet Hot American Summer and Caddyshack. This is to be filed under the “Puppets & Blood” horror subgenre. A man and his sentient napkin friend save the world from a dark evil top-hat in a cabin deep in the Utah mountains, and also learn to love. Seth Green plays (or just voices?) the top-hat, and the cast includes Jacob DeMonte-Finn, Ashley Holliday Tavares, Christina Laskay, Anthony Rutowicz, Clare Grant, Azure Parsons, and Toby Bryan. The filmmakers explain they had “literally no budget, nobody got paid, everyone chipped in for food and drugs, and we all cooperatively own the film now. We shot it on a camera our team won… It was crazy. Everyone went a little bit crazy. Some of us went a lot a bit crazy. It’s our hope that a bunch of that fun, contagious craziness has ended up on the screen.” 🎩
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Lindsey Haun & Nick Roth’s Hanky Panky, direct from YouTube:
A man and his best friend who is a talking napkin must save the world from an evil top-hat, and also learn to love. Intro: “Hanky Panky was inspired by our two greatest love affairs: 1) with the film genre you might call “Blood and Puppets,” and 2) with the way certain zany comedies like Wet Hot American Summer and Caddyshack seemed to capture the energy of locking their whole cast and crew together in, say, a summer camp, or a coke-orgy fueled hotel in the middle of a Florida hurricane with Chevy Chase — and then somehow get that energy on screen.” Hanky Panky is co-directed by two American indie actors / filmmakers Lindsey Haun & Nick Roth, both making their feature directorial debut after a few other shorts before. The screenplay is by Nick Roth. Produced by Toby Bryan, Jacob DeMonte-Finn, Clare Grant, Lindsey Haun, Christina Laskay, Azure Parsons, Nick Roth, Anthony Rutowicz, and Ashley Holliday Tavares. Deskpop Ent. will debut Hanky Panky direct-to-VOD starting on April 19th, 2024 this spring. Anyone want to watch?
