‘Betty’s Revenge’ Trailer – ‘V/H/S’ Star Hannah Fierman Is Betty Boop in Indie Slasher [Exclusive]

With 1930’s Dizzy Dishes entering the public domain as of this year, the original incarnation of Betty Boop joins the arsenal of iconic characters that can be twisted into a horror movie by enterprising indie filmmakers.

We’ve previously reported that Boop and Shiver Me Timbers 2 are on their way, and now Betty’s Revenge is joining the fray.

This one stands out thanks to the inspired casting of V/H/S icon Hannah Fierman as the batty Betty Boop. Check out our exclusive trailer and images below.

The movie follows three college seniors who venture to the abandoned Dizzy Dishes cabaret club while researching its fiery past. They encounter the former owner, Betty — who claims to be half woman, half “something else.”

Once the friends get their hands on Betty’s journal of secrets, it’s a race against time as she begins hunting them with the goal of leaving behind a story of trauma that can become the next great bedtime story.

Emma Claire Dykes, Samuel J. Bennett, and Faith McKinstry star alongside Fierman.

Brett Bentman — who’s also helming a pair of Aladdin horror movies — writes and directs.

“We started talking about this story a long, long time ago, but as with any of these public domain pieces, there are rules that need to be followed,” Bentman tells Bloody Disgusting. “We wanted to be true and accurate to the subject that was available — not just the one everyone associates with the classic cartoon, as we knew that was off limits. So we made Betty a tragic figure that has real motivation, not just your typical angry cartoon character.”

Bentman produces with Tiffany McDonald for B22 Films. Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland serve as executive producers.

Betty’s Revenge is coming soon from ITN Distribution, who helped popularize the public domain exploitation trend with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.
