Summary

A popular tourist destination for thousands of people every year, most come and go without realizing just how haunted Key West really is. From the old Key West lighthouse haunted by its former keeper to the ghosts of infamous pirates, the island is swarming with lost souls. But perhaps the most peculiar tale is that of the dead women who sleep beneath the floor of a popular saloon in the heart of the haunted city of Key West, Florida. Special Guest: Matt Leslie https://twitter.com/matthewgleslie https://instagram.com/matthewgleslie Previously working as a Development Executive for Producers Matt Alvarez and Scott Bernstein, Matt Leslie was heavily involved in developing the script for the 2015 box office smash STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. In 2018, he left the development world, co-writing and producing the indie thriller SUMMER OF ‘84, which premiered in the Midnight Lineup at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. The forthcoming mystery-horror film DON’T OPEN THE DOOR, produced by Kodiak Pictures and Defiant Studios, marks Leslie’s feature directorial debut alongside his partner Stephen J. Smith. The writing-directing-producing duo currently have a number of scripted projects in development.
