Based on a true story set in the quaint family town of Brooksville,
FL in 1974, the film is a true-crime, suspenseful thriller about an
ominous white van that begins stalking a young girl prone to
exaggeration. Her parents' disbelief of her fear of being followed
leads to a terrifying Halloween nightmare. The film explores the
origins of the nefarious "white van" trope in popular culture and
tracks the beginning of real-world serial killer Billy Mansfield
Jr's path of destruction in the 70's.
Sean Astin is best known for his film
and television roles such as Bob Newby, a former high school friend
and love interest to Winona Ryder's character, Joyce Byers in
Season 2 of Netflix's horror thriller Stranger
Things. Astin is, of course, also
known for his classic and beloved characters - Sam in the
Lord of the Rings trilogy and
the title character of Rudy and Mikey in the popular classic
The Goonies. He starred as Ed

and guest starred in
Brooklyn Nine-Nine and
The Big Bang Theory. Recent
films include; Gloria Bell opposite Julianne Mooore, Mayfield's

thrillers, with dramatic turns in numerous television, film and
series, including Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain
on (FX) and the fifth season of
24 (Fox). He directed and
produced the short film Kangaroo Court, which earned him an Academy Award® nomination for
Best Live Action Short Film.
Ali Larter's credits include a critical
recurring role on ABC's The Rookie, as well as the FOX series Pitch

the NBC show Heroes,

feature film debut in the blockbuster hit Varsity
