AbOUT THE FILM
It’s been years since anything spooky has happened in Helen’s Valley—and for good reason. Josh Harper (Courtney Gains, Children of the Corn) has dedicated his life to making sure the barn-dwelling monsters from hell never return to threaten the town or his sister, Heather (Kelli Maroney, Chopping Mall).
But something far more sinister is lurking in the shadows, determined to resurrect the legend once again. As the darkness closes in, Josh must confront the horrors he’s spent years trying to keep buried.
Also starring Tristan Olsen and Amanda Byrne, alongside horror icons William Ragsdale (Fright Night), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and John Kassir (the voice of the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt).
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“Having such an amazing fan base to help create an indie horror trilogy is such an honor. They have allowed me to create these stories that span from the 80s’, into the 90s’ and now into modern day. This journey has been amazing and I can’t thank everyone enough for believing in this Halloween legend!”
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING
“The Barn Part III has some of the most insane, captivating, and bloody kills I’ve seen. Especially for an indie film. Whatever the budget was, the film looks like it was more expensive than that.”
– Brendan Jesus, Horror Press
“The Barn Part III is a showcase for practical effects and fun, quick kills.”
– Bryan Staebell, Scare Value
“Cody Ruch and Samantha Sanford are credited with the special effects and creature design, and if anything is worth the price of admission, it’s their work. The Barn: Part III is packed to the brim with violence.”
– Chad Collins, Dread Central
“Splatterific gore galore abounds, thanks to the superb work from Special Effects Coordinators: Creature Designers Cody Ruch and Samantha Sanford.”
– Joseph Perry, Gruesome Magazine
“The practical effects work was on par with the first two parts; the gore looked realistic and there was certainly no lack of it.”
– Celia Payne, Let’s Talk Terror
“The creature work remains the undeniable star of the show.”
– Jessie Hobson, CineDump
“Seaman can be proud of this horror trilogy, a rare indie triple feat that delivers on nasty effects and gnarly monsters in the highest regard.”
– Josh at the Movies
