You won’t catch Cooties (review) until September 18, but horror fans here at the Stanley Film Festival in Estes Park, Colorado, were fortunate enough get a sneak peek opening night to see just how darkly funny Leigh Whannell’s (Saw, Insidious) script is and how many kids actually die in horrifically entertaining ways.

Coming off their buzzed about short film, Boob, the directing team of Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott sat down with us in the Library Room just down from the infamous Stanley Hotel. Cooties and their next project both sound like ones to definitely keep an eye out for.
