Beatrice Featured in Upcoming Horror Film ‘The Gallows’

The gallowsBEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A co-writer of the upcoming horror film, “The Gallows,” is returning for a special screening in his hometown of Beatrice, where the movie takes place.

Chris Lofing is a 2009 Beatrice High School graduate, and he co-wrote the movie that’s set to premiere in theaters Friday. He and his business partner will travel to Beatrice for a special red-carpet showing of the movie on July 24 at the Holly Theatre.

“The Gallows” takes place entirely in a fictional Beatrice high school.

A tragic accident during a 1993 school play leads to a student’s hanging. A new performance is held 20 years later, but on the eve of the play’s revival, several students find themselves trapped in the auditorium, haunted by the student’s ghost.
