Based
on the most popular urban legend in the state of Ohio, Gore Orphanage was
filmed in the summer of 2014.
The
film stars Maria Olsen (Percy Jackson/Paranormal Activity 3/Starry Eyes),
Internet Tycoon Bill Townsend, Keri Maletto (Home Shopping Network) and
introduces a trio of amazing child actors Emma Leigh Smith, Nora Hoyle and
Brandon Mangin Jr.
The
film is a female-centered horror story directed by Emily Lapisardi in her
directorial debut. Filmed in 2014 in
Scottdale, PA, the story is set in the 1930's and follows the life of Nellie,
an orphan, who is brought to Gore Orphanage and discovers quickly that some things
are worse than losing your family.
This
is the fifth film produced by veteran independent producer Cody Knotts (Pro
Wrestlers vs Zombies) and was filmed in Scottdale, PA with a cast of over 20
local children in addition to the actors listed above. Knotts has worked with such horror icons as
Doug Bradley and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in the past.
The
film was a husband and wife collaboration of Mr. Knotts and Ms. Lapisardi. Mr. Knotts wrote the film to impress his then
fiancée, who was inspired by a road sign in Ohio during travel for Knotts' film
Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies.
