Hallowed Halls Movie Poster

Following the success of the first two seasons of the Hallowed Halls television series, plans would be made to bring Winerva and her creepy crawly friends to the big screens all across the world. This movie took the form of an anthology which recounted five dreadful scary tales from Jeffery H Klein. The movie was a big success and is notable for being the team up between three powerhouses of horror. Famous horror director Frank Baum signed on immediately for this film, and with him he brought frequent collaborator and master of practical effects Tim Lyle.

There would be two more movies following this phenomenal film, however each one would receive lessening fanfare and be released with noticeable drops in quality. Regardless this film caused ever increased interest in the source material and television series. 

Rumors about production were very popular, with several people stating the early days of production to be a nightmarish slog filled with accidents and frequent mishaps. However it was said that whenever the Winerva puppet was brought on set, production would pick up in ease and quality. Thus after consulting with the director it was agreed to have the Winerva puppet on set at all times as their good luck charm.
