Filmmaker PJ Starks was born and raised in Owensboro, Kentucky, and became interested in film at an early age. Several years back, we spoke to Starks about his films Volumes of Blood and Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories. Since then, Starks has been a part of some awesome films, such as Close Calls, the 10/31 series, 13 Slays of Xmas, and his newest feature, New Fear’s Eve. Co-directing the film with Eric Huskisson, Starks also serves as producer, writer, and editor. The film stars Dave Sheridan, Felissa Rose, and Hannah Fierman.
“As the coming year approaches, three best friends reluctantly prepare for Hooper Industries’ annual New Year’s Eve bash. The clock ticks down, and the body count rises as a psychotic murderer known as The Doctor is on the loose. This sadistic surgeon of death leaves Owensboro covered in blood as local police and FBI are forced to navigate through a maze of bodies left in his wake. Unbeknownst to the three best friends, their mandatory party is about to turn deadly when the killer sets his sights on them. December 31 becomes a party to die for when Leslie, Brian, Moses, and their colleagues are trapped inside an inescapable building with a bloodthirsty madman hellbent on carving his way to midnight.” Sounds fun, right?
We start the New Year by catching up with Starks, speaking to him about New Fear’s Eve and what he has in the pipeline for 2024! Enjoy!
