Indie Horror Junkie has officially announced the principal cast for THE CLOCK HELLS BELLS, the upcoming short film sequel to its supernatural feature film THE CLOCK. The short film is written, directed and produced by Indie Horror Junkie’s own Rick Danford and Aimee Rolfsen. Continuing the mythology established in the original film, THE CLOCK HELLS BELLS introduces a new group of characters who find themselves drawn into the sinister history surrounding an infamous grandfather clock and the demonic forces determined to use it as a gateway into the world of the living.

Joining Stevens are rising horror actresses CELESTE BLANDON and KENDALL KRUEGER, portraying podcasting sisters Bethany and Madori, known to their listeners as The Synsters.
