William English III giving Anthony Perkins/Norman Bates vibes… Credit: YouTubr
He’s already scared the pants off you at the Ferndale Scaregrounds and the Scream-a-Torium Haunted House. Now Griffin Loch is bottling up the terror for the big screen. The Undistilled, Loch’s fourth feature film, pours out Sunday, Aug. 31, at 6 p.m. at the historic Ferndale Repertory Theatre ($15). Filmed in Humboldt County (with plenty of Ferndale flavor), the supernatural thriller stars local favorite William English III in a showdown with ancient forces that don’t play nice. Stick around after the frights for a spirited Q&A with Loch and English. All proceeds support the Rep, so it’s an all-around feel-good (though frightful) Ferndale fundraiser. The film is rated PG-13 for brief strong language, violence, intense action and frightening horror elements.
