The Award-Winning LGBTQ+ Horror-Comedy SUMMONING SYLVIA Is Coming to Shudder!
The Horror Collective’s Summoning Sylvia is set to premiere on Shudder on April 1st. A favorite among fans and critics alike, it has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, won a Casting Society Award, and was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film.
Summoning Sylvia was directed by Wesley Taylor (a Broadway veteran known for Rock of Ages and The Addams Family) and Alex Wyse (returning to Broadway this season in Good Night Oscar), making their directorial debuts, which they also wrote together.
The directors commented ‘Ultimately a celebration of queer friendship, the film explores the assumptions we make about each other, which can lead to some super silly scary spooky sh*t!’
