BITERS & BLEEDERS: Chilling New Horror Short Launches First Teaser


The official trailer is here for Biters & Bleeders, a new horror short signaling horror fans and pending festival audiences as the summer approaches. Biters & Bleeders serves as the launchpad for New 32, a newly-launched, queer-owned, independent film company based in North Carolina.

Beneath the thin veneer of their marriage lies a rotting core of regret, frustration, and contempt. Tad (Malcolm) and Penelope (Whisnant) have fallen on hard times.

When Tad’s mother unexpectedly dies and Tad comes into possession of his stately family home, he believes it will be the key to solving everything. But what awaits them in that house is not salvation.

What awaits them is the final push that will finally send them toppling over that razor-thin edge into the unknown. An infestation of monstrous bed bugs eat through the home and Penelope’s psyche. She becomes increasingly desperate for any escape from the countless new bites, the constant feeling of something crawling across her skin, the punishing summer heat, her husband.

It’s time for Penelope to purge herself.

The cast is led by Raven Angeline Whisnant who plays the entrapped wife. Also starring are Christopher Malcolm as her domineering husband, and Joyce Wood as his mother.

Whisnant also co-wrote and directed with Charlie Carson Monroe. Both exec produce alongside Stanley Monroe and Peter Zale.
