A high school seance before the night of the big game has deadly consequences when the new quarterback, Jason Macbeth, takes his life (and others) into his own hands. The bodies pile up as Macbeth and his student council girlfriend, Em, refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their perfect future. Inspired by the cult classics of the 1980’s, this slasher retelling of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” will make your present fears more than horrible imaginings. So grab your popcorn, put on your best costume, and get ready for “Something Wicked: A Slasher Macbeth”.
