Director Dwight Little will assemble some big names in the horror world for his next feature film. Deadline reports that Little, who directed Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, will helm the horror thriller Natty Knocks from Film Bridge After Dark. In November, the movie will be presented to potential buyers at the American Film Market.

The film will reunite former child star Danielle Harris with Little; she previously played Jamie Lloyd, the daughter of Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode, in Halloween 4. Also attached to the film are fellow horror legends Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), who Little also directed in The Phantom of the Opera, and Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) alongside Jason James Richter (Free Willy) and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim (Evil Lives Here). Richter is also producing with Sandy Little and Amit Sarin while Vineesha-Arora will executive produce.

Written by Benjamin Olson, Natty Knocks follows a “small-town babysitter (Fountain-Jardim) who, on Halloween Eve, along with her ‘kids,’ has to survive serial killer Abner Honeywell who is himself the traumatized son of B-movie horror legend known as ‘Natty Knocks.’”

“Natty Knocks is another stellar entry into Dwight’s noteworthy and lengthy genre filmography,” Film Bridge After Dark’s Jordan Dykstra said in a statement. “Horror has really worked lately at all levels in the marketplace, and the timing couldn’t be better to unveil Natty.”

Little added, “Ever since working with Robert Englund on Phantom of the Opera, I have been looking for a way for us to find a project to do together. Natty Knocks is exactly the small-town horror film I was hoping to find to jump back into this genre.”

Dwight Little Helped Make Danielle Harris a Horror Star

After Dwight Little directed Halloween 4, Danielle Harris would forever be a horror icon. She reprised her role as Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers before appearing as Annie Brackett in both of Rob Zombie’s Halloween films. Harris continues to maintain a strong presence in the horror community with her podcast, Talk Scary to Me, which she co-hosts with Halloween co-star Scout Taylor-Compton.

Robert Englund may be most synonymous with Freddy Krueger, though he recently returned to the horror genre with another memorable role in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Recently, his co-star from the original Freddy Krueger movie, Heather Langenkamp, says she hopes to fight Freddy one more time in a legacy sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street. Like the fans, she’s been holding out for Englund to return one more time as Freddy.

For now, these horror stars will be featured together in Natty Knocks. The film does not yet have a release date.
