If you’re a Nerdist fan you are probably familiar with Andrew Bowser. If not, he’s an incredibly talented filmmaker who’s responsible for some of their funniest and most viewed clips as their in-house art director. He’s also a huge horror fan and House Mother is his latest short film created as a proof of concept for a feature length story written by Bowser. He describes it as “House Mother harkens back to both Clive Barker’s gothic body horror classics like Hellraiser and Nightbreed, and Stuart Gordon’s absurdist Lovecraftian masterpieces Re-Animator and From Beyond. ”

The film stars tars Jessica Parker Kennedy (Black Sails, Colony), Shelby Steel (Powers, Teen Wolf), Emily Rudd (Olive Forever, Sea Change)… oh and Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You’re Next) in her first role as a monster!
