NOW ON VOD! Come see how to be fabulous even when you have a meat cleaver coming down on your pretty little head in writer/directors Wesley Taylor and Alex Wyse’s spooky comedy Summoning Sylvia. It opens with a séance in an old dark house that goes all sorts of creepo-strango. We then jump back six hours earlier to Larry (Travis Coles) blindfolded in the back seat of a car. Surprise! His pals Nico (Frankie Grande), Kevin (Noah J Ricketts), and Reggie (Troy Iwata) are throwing him a bachelor party before he gets hitched to Jamie (Michael Urie).
Reggie knows what gets Larry’s happy humming and has planned a weekend in a haunted house. The property they are staying at is the home to a legend of gruesome murders. Locals say over a hundred years ago, widow Sylvia (Veanne Cox) chopped up her boy Phillip (Camden Garcia) and buried him in the woods behind the house. Sylvia was then publicly executed by vigilantes, which was seen as just fine back then.
“His pals…are throwing him a bachelor party…and has planned a weekend in a haunted house.”
Rumor has it that the spirits of mother and son still haunt the halls. Larry is over the moon and immediately wants to séance up to summon Sylvia. They all also want to work on their musical number for the wedding. First, however, he needs to make a quick call to Jamie, who has no idea Larry is out of town. Jamie reminds Larry he was supposed to hang with his future brother-in-law Harrison (Nicholas Logan) this weekend. Backed into a corner, Larry blurts out that Harrison should join the bachelor party, as it’s only a couple of hours upstate. Larry has a hard time letting the others know about Harrison’s arrival, as Harrison is a straight guy who just git back from an army tour and is an odd fit for a gay bachelor party. But then his problems with hosting runs right slam into problems with ghosting, and it’s a haunted house hootenanny tonight!
