The first project from producer Joe Swanberg’s slate of horror films with Yale Entertainment is titled Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round, and Deadline shares the first image this week.
The outlet details, “Ahead of the AFM, LA-based Great Escape is launching sales on horror film Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round, the first project on the Terror Town genre slate from producer Joe Swanberg and Yale Productions.”
In the film from director Aidan Leary…
“Something really bad happened to James Jensen when he was a kid. While hosting the latest episode of his children’s series ‘Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round,’ his repressed memories begin to emerge, threatening his sanity, and possibly his life. Will Monkey and the Playground Pals help James recover his lost memories, or have they been withholding something from him all along? Where is the Post Lady hiding? And who is The Freak?”
Michael Gilio stars in Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round.
“Michael did such an incredible job. So much of the film rests on his shoulders, as he’s essentially the only flesh-and-blood performer on screen,” producers Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman said in a statement. “That said: the puppets in this film are outstanding as well. Both in their creation and in their performance, they feel instantly iconic.”
