The first trailer for the independent horror film “The Black Dahlia Haunting” has been released. The film, directed by Brandon Slagle, is set for premiere September 15 at the horror convention Scare-A-Con in Syracuse New York. Following the 6 pm screening, there will be a Q&A with Slagle, as well as stars Devanny Pinn, Britt Griffith, Noah Dahl and Alexia Iacono.

The film follows a young woman, Holly (Pinn), who comes to Los Angeles to learn more about the murders of her abusive father and stepmother by her younger brother Tyler (Dahl) who has been blind since childhood. She enlists the help of a psychiatrist assigned to treat Tyler (Griffith), who seems to have a special connection to a spirit Tyler claims speaks to him, Elizabeth Short – or as she’s now known, “The Black Dahlia.”

But this flower has nothing good in mind, and toys with those who have suffered in their lives.

Cast members’ former credits include Pinn in “Hold Your Breath”, Griffith in SyFy channel’s “Ghosthunters,” Dahl in “Bad Teacher,” and Iacono in “The Penny Dreadful Picture Show.”
