A haunting we will go! With THE INNKEEPERS (now on VOD; opening in select theaters February 3), acclaimed indie genre writer/director Ti West (THE ROOST, HOUSE OF THE DEVIL) starts the new year off right with a killer fright. FANGORIA’s Tony Timpone caught up with West in NYC to talk about his haunted hotel flick, produced by the fiends at Glass Eye Pix and Dark Sky Films. You can check out part two of our exclusive video chat with West below, the second of three (all edited and shot by Bill Hall; see the first segment here), where he talks about the chemistry of his talented lead actors and new ways of marketing independent cinema.

In THE INNKEEPERS, the venerable Yankee Pedlar Inn (an actual hotel in Connecticut) is about to shut its doors for good after over a century of service. Believed by many to be one of New England’s “most haunted hotels,” the last remaining employees – daffy Claire (Sara Paxton of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT) and sardonic Luke (Pat Healy) – are determined to uncover proof before the place closes for good. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begins to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.

Stop back tomorrow for more with West and watch for a Paxton interview later this week. You can read Fango’s INNKEEPERS review right here and pick up FANGORIA #309 (on sale now) for our exclusive visit to the set! And keep track of THE INNKEEPERS theatrical playdates here.
