Before returning as Art the Clown in Terrifier 4, David Howard Thornton will play the titular villain in The Autopsy of Albert Kemper.
Deadline reports that Thornton will star in the psychological horror film alongside Alexandra Shipp (Barbie) and Eric Stoltz (Pulp Fiction).
It follows Riley Shaw (Shipp), a morgue assistant who faces a terrifying night when the body of notorious serial killer Albert Kemper (Thornton) begins to show signs of something beyond death.
Production is currently underway in Minnesota, with David Benullo (Hallowed Ground) writing and directing.
Producers include Epic Level Entertainment’s Dana Guerin, John Frank Rosenblum and Tracy Mercer, Mandy June Turpin, and Jim Strader.
Deadline notes that The Autopsy of Albert Kemper draws inspiration from an urban legend surrounding Jeffrey Dahmer’s death — rumors that authorities handcuffed the serial killer’s body to the gurney for fear he might “rise again.”
