New comedy to spoof monster movies

Bo Zenga is to make his directorial debut with horror spoof Stan Helsing.

Zenga, one of the producers of the Scary Movie franchise, will send up six of the highest-grossing creature features of all time in the movie.

The Stone Village Pictures production follows a video store clerk as he reluctantly attempts to rescue a town from cinema's most notorious predators on Halloween night.

Zenga said: “Stan Helsing spoofs the six biggest movie monster franchises of all time, which collectively have grossed over $1 billion worldwide. We expect to take a healthy bite of that number.”

He has also written the script for the film, which is scheduled to start principal photography in April.
