If going to hell is this much fun, let the sinning begin! 😈🔥 Go to Hell is the debut short film from hot sauce maestro and, now, filmmaker Dean of the Dead. A 28 minute comedy horror, Go To Hell is a funny, campy romp and is hopefully coming to a festival near you, soon!

After a fatal fall, Robert wakes up in Hell – a bizarre, nightmarish underworld where demons drink, deals are struck, and revenge is just a ritual away. Guided by a sly barfly named Sid, Robert seeks out a powerful entity capable of sending darkness back to the living world. But in Hell, nothing comes without a cost… and some pasts refuse to stay buried!

While this is a very low budget indie production, it’s a perfect example of why I love the horror community so much. Dean has utilised his favourite scare parks as sets, their scare-actors as extras and friends from the small business and horror community as actors. Everyone involved is clearly here for their love of horror and look to be having as much fun as I had watching. Stand-out performances came from James Hamer-Morton as cheeky scamp of a demon Sid and Cadaverous Black as the truly haunting Mr Black.

While there’s room for growth for Dean as a writer (a positive!), he shows real promise as a director, clearly influenced by schlocky 80’s horror gems. If you’ve ever met Dean at a convention or a festival, Go to Hell is exactly the funny, cheeky good time you’d expect him to deliver. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Dean of the Dead creates next 🔥🤘🏻🔥

Keep your eyes peeled – I’ll be chatting with Dean soon, talking all about Go To Hell on Horror Hyperfixations.

Update – 24th June

Since publishing this, Dean shared some exciting news that he’s officially been selected for the Rhyller Thriller film festival in August! I’m going to be at Rhyller Thriller and I’m so excited to see the film again with an audience! Congrats, Dean!
