BLACKSTAR CANYON is an independent, R-rated horror film currently in preproduction. The screen story takes place during Spring Break 2006. Six teens ditch Laguna Beach High School in order to explore the haunted and urban legend-ridden series of arroyos in eastern Orange County, California.

After networking at Monsterpalooza, the actress Belinda Balaski (Terry Fisher from Joe Dante's The Howling) was convinced to play "Marie Cochran". Marie is a seemingly destitute hippie with a suitcase full of two million dollars. Marie knows about the mystery that lies in wait at the center of the mine shafts in Blackstar Canyon.

Colin Peterson, Brad Cooper, and Josh Alves have been providing promotional artwork. Art for the graphic novel prequel for the film was promoted at the Marriott Burbank Hotel and Convention Center's Monsterpalooza April 8th -10th, 2011, and at the LA Airport Marriott Weekend of Horrors on May 14th - 15th, 2011.

The film will mostly consist of animatronic, rather than CGI, monster makeup effects. The tone hearkens back to the late 1970's drive-in movie era. Due to the location, cell phones and wireless communication do not operate.
