Anyone attending Mad Monster Arizona couldn’t help but notice a Kane Hodder panel entitled “Top Secret Kane Hodder Project Panel.” In a year where most horror productions and releases have been delayed, is it possible that horror fans are about to get a new Kane Hodder project?
Yes, it was true. Kane Hodder has been working with producer and director Tony H. Cadwell (Behind The Sightings) to produce a documentary entitled “Balsam: A Paranormal Investigation.” In Balsam, Kane Hodder leads a team of paranormal investigators as they investigate The Grand Old Lady Hotel in Balsam, North Carolina.
The Grand Old Lady Hotel is a 112-year-old, 40,000 square foot hotel with a disturbing past. Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, the hotel is referred to by locals as the South’s Stanley Hotel.
Director Tony H. Cadwell stated, “We wanted to put together a project for horror fans that was both an authentic paranormal investigation and cinematically entertaining at a location that was not well known with an amazing horror icon, Kane Hodder.”
Kane Hodder is no stranger to paranormal investigations. For years, Kane has been involved in leading paranormal investigations at some of the world’s most haunted locations.
Balsam: A Paranormal Investigation was executive produced by White Glove Productions’ Tom Sulkowski (Mechanic: Resurrection) and H13 Media’s Tony H. Cadwell with Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th 7,8, 9, Jason X, Hatchet) serving as a producer on the project. The documentary stars Kane Hodder, Amanda Hannah, Mark A. Richardson, and Maeve Ybanez. Balsam is set for release in 2021.
