While Kevin Smith is best known for movies like Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma, he’s not a total stranger to horror either.
In the past he’s tickled the scary ivories with Red State and Tuck and now he’s returning to it with his slasher flick, Kilroy Was Here.
Now the director – working here from a script by himself and Andy McElfresh – has shared the trailer for his new horror anthology movie which he compares to Creepshow.
“It’s got a theme that runs through it,”says Smith, “and all these little stories that happen around [Killroy]. He’s kinda like a kid Avenger. If you f#@k with kids, Killroy will show up. And he looks wonderfully goofy. Bald head and a nose that hangs over the fence. [Robert Kurtzman] designed something that’s kinda horrifying but it’s also goofy at the same time.”
Killroy Was Here is based on the famous graffitti character who first appeared in World War II:
This explains why the titular character has the appearance he does.
The movie stars Jason Mewes, Ralph Garman, Harley Quinn Smith and Chris Jericho.
Here’s the trailer:
