COTTON EYE JOE

FEATURE HORROR
Feature Film

Storyline: When two young couples become stranded in a forgotten farm town, their arrival awakens Cotton-Eye Joe — a vengeful, bloodthirsty legend who once wiped out the town’s population and now hunts anyone who dares enter. Its Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Blood and Honey with a touch of Cabin in the Woods.

BLAIRE

• Age: 18 to 29 years old
• All ethnicities
• Woman
• Lead Role
• Blair is sharp, independent, and a bit guarded, masking deep insecurities about her long-term relationship with Stu. She’s skeptical, sarcastic, and ultimately becomes one of the main survivors who fights back against the town’s curse. She is the main lead. Casting type: Smart, relatable, final girl material.

STU

• Age: 18 to 29 years old
• All ethnicities
• Man
• Supporting Role
• Stu is Blair’s long-time boyfriend, a smart but passive guy who struggles with commitment. His love for Blair is genuine, but his hesitation and self-doubt make him slower to act when danger strikes. Main character. Casting type: Boy-next-door with heart.

CHERI

• Age: 18 to 29 years old
• All ethnicities
• Woman
• Supporting Role
• Cheri is bubbly, sweet, and naive, newly engaged to Rob despite his rocky past. Her optimism and loyalty are heartwarming but also make her vulnerable as the horrors of Cotton Eye Joe close in. Will be main/supporting. Casting type: Playful, lovable, with comic timing.

ROB

• Age: 18 to 29 years old
• All ethnicities
• Man
• Supporting Role
• Rob is cocky, cluelessly charming, and impulsive—a classic “loveable f-boy” who tries to cover up his mistakes with grand gestures. Underneath the bravado, he genuinely loves Cheri but often fails to think before he acts, which puts him and the group at risk. Main/supporting. Casting type: Handsome, charismatic but not too polished.
