A new comedy horror, Halloween Store, recently wrapped filming in Hawaii. Deadline has reported cast members for the film which includes Sydney Park, who portrayed Cyndie, a member of Oceanside, in The Walking Dead.

Halloween Store was written by Chad Law (6 Bullets) and Josh Ridgway (The Flood) and directed by Shane Dax Taylor (Murder Company). Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live) and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) serve as executive producers for the film. The story is set on Halloween inside a costume store called Shriek Shack, where a group of people are trapped while a mysterious killer is on the loose.

Recently Park, Sydney Park, Grace Van Dien, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Drew Ray Tanner were announced as cast members joining previously reported Simon Rex, Natalie Lind, Kai Caster, Anthony Michael Hall, Thomas Dekker and Nicholas Hamilton.

Park, who is no stranger to the horror genre as she starred in the Netflix original horror There's Something Inside Your House, has been cast as Zoe, Shriek Shack's worst employee, whose charm is the only thing that keeps her from being fired. Zoe is a true horror fan who is extremely knowledgeable about the genre and will have to utilize her expertise to survive.

Hall (Reacher, Halloween Kills, Trigger Warning) will portray the sharp-witted Sheriff Hollis, and Dekker (Swimming with Sharks, Nightmare on Elm Street) has been cast as Hunter, a Shriek Shack customer. Hamilton (It, Brave the Dark, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh) plays Zack, a shadowy and enigmatic employee, while Booth (The Librarians, Cry Wolf, Wrong Turn) is Claudia, a former prom queen who has been recently divorced and enjoys letting everyone know she is back on the market.

Van Dien (Stranger Things) plays Heather, the girl everyone wants to be or be with, and Lendeborg Jr. (Night Teeth, American Carnage, Love Simon) is Julio, an employee who is a lover, not a fighter, who longs to make Heather his girlfriend. Tanner (Riverdale) portrays the store's quirky security guard, Dave.
