Indie director Todd Langseth gave Fango the scoop on his upcoming production Stingy Jack. The movie, about a small town called Emerson and its prohibition on Halloween, begins in 1957 when Esther Fowler witnesses her young son, Stevie, mowed down while trick-or-treating.
Plagued by this tragedy, plus odd sightings and strange occurrences, the townsfolk pressure their mayor into exacting a ban on All Hallow’s Eve and its festivities. For 40 years, the rule remains in effect and the town of Emerson stays at peace. That is, until David, his wife Kaitlyn and their 9-year-old son Jack take up residence and refuse to let the holiday go. But between the off-kilter inhabitants, a looming presence taking over David and the ever-increasing number of “shadow people,” it becomes clear to the family that a curse hovers over the town.
