Set in the modern-day American west, the film meshes over-the-top humor and rampaging horror at full throttle. It combines the pure terror of hearing Leatherface’s chainsaw with the gut-busting laughs of a classic Jim Carrey film. Littered with scary, grotesque, and wildly energetic characters, the film is a love letter to horror and stand-up comedy. Neal will be voicing the role of Skelly, boney sidekick to the cannibal comedian character, Charlie (Aaron Prager). “Hey! There was NO way I was turning down work on a film as cleverly constructed as Cannibal Comedian! The concept alone is worth the price of admission if all they had was 2 guys sitting at a table pitching the project. This is fun stuff indeed. Few years from now, I’ll be sitting with my grandchildren [...] going ‘and THEN I was the voice of a skeleton. Good times.” Edwin Neal
The film, produced by Sean Haitz and Ryan James (Time’s Up, Dark Circles) also stars Robert Dunne and Austin Judd.

by Christopher Zisi On October 1, every streaming service will begin focusing on horror films. The most famous October debut of a horror film occurred 47 years ago with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Early next year, this iconic film will be toasted by the release of Sean Haitz's Cannibal Comedian. The two films are not unrelated. It is fair to say TCM acted as a heavy influence on Mr. Haitz. Wit, scares, gore, and over-the-top characters are a trademark on Haitz's films... just as TCM was famous for. So, kick 2022 off by finding Cannibal Comedian and even consider viewing it as a double feature with the Tobe Hooper classic. Theme and plot are celebrated in Cannibal Comedian, but the homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a bit more direct. Two of the stars of the 1974 scare-fest also appear in Mr. Haitz's film. Allen Danzinger, who played Jerry in TCM. Oh yes... and remember the creepy hitchhiker... yep, the guy who sliced his own hand open? He's in Cannibal Comedian, too. Here is a bit of trivia most people don't know. Mr. Neal's initial scene in the 1974 classic is the only place blood is seen in the film. Really! Check it out. I dare say Sean Haitz will have more blood for us in 2022 when his cannibal hits the streaming services.

Oh! By the way, I interviewed Sean Haitz in the ninth issue of CREATORS UNITE MAGAZINE. Find it by clicking on the interactive Icon below. I know Sean as a man who can make his movies appear as if they had a budget ten times more than what they actually spent. Sean describes this film, set in the modern American west as one that "... meshes over-the-top humor and rampaging horror at full throttle. It combines the pure terror of hearing Leatherface's chainsaw with the gut-busting laughs of a classic Jim Carrey film. Littered with scary, grotesque, and wildly energetic characters, the film is a love letter to horror and stand-up comedy." Enjoy your new year movie watching experience by putting Cannibal Comedian on first. In deference to Tobe Hooper and the iconic masterpiece, I don't think Sean would mind if you used The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as an appetizer. Scream in horror... laugh in horror... and enjoy the gore watch Cannibal Comedian in 2022. Christopher Zisi ABOUT SEAN HAITZ Sean Haitz was born and raised in Sarasota, FL. He has been passionate about making movies since the age of ten when he picked up his first video camera. His first film to gain notoriety was Mangrove Slasher 2, a forty-seven-minute horror/shlock comedy. The budget was $600 and a bucket of blood. It sold out all three showings in the SARASOTA FILM FESTIVAL and received a cult following from tons of horror news coverage. His first feature film Big Top Evil had a thirty-thousand-dollar budget and was picked up by GRAVITAS VENTURES STUDIOS with a worldwide release late summer 2019. (Now available on demand and Blu-Ray.) Sean is also an established singer, musician songwriter.
