They Live Inside Us


They Live Inside Us is an upcoming American horror film written and directed by Michael Ballif, and produced by Ballif, James Morris, Allen Bradford, and Jordan Swenson. It is an adaptation of episode #4 of The Witching Season anthology series, and once again stars James Morris in the lead role.

Plot

Jake takes his daughter Dani to spend Halloween in a notoriously haunted house with the hope of finding inspiration for a new writing project. He quickly realizes he is living in his own horror story.

Production

After the physical release and VOD/online success of The Witching Season, series creator Michael Ballif decided to adapt the "They Live Inside Us" short-film into a feature-length film. Pre-production lasted well over a year, but after a successful crowdfund in the fall of 2017, the team finalized the cast/crew and prepared to start shooting. Production officially began in July 2018 and wrapped in July of 2019.
The film was shot entirely on location throughout northern Utah, primarily in historic Nephi, Utah, which is where the films main location "The Booth House" is located. Several sequences were also shot during the City of Fun Carnival, which was featured in the hit film The Sandlot.
On October 30, 2018, during principal photography, Dread Central released the first official screenshots of the film and stated that Witching Season Films was "hoping to have the film ready to release by Halloween 2019."

Release

On September 30, 2019, Bloody Disgusting released an exclusive article revealing the film's poster. However, due to recent re-shoots and post-production delays, the film was pushed back.
On July 21, 2020, Witching Season Films, through an exclusive with Halloween Daily News, announced that the film had been acquired by Gravitas Ventures, a subsidiary of Red Arrow Studios, and would be receiving a worldwide VOD release on October 6th, 2020.
