The Roxsy & Me indiegogo campaign failed to reach its goal and only came in with 72% of funds needed when the deadline ended on June 9. Roxsy & Me, the final send off for the character of Roxsy Tyler and her webseries “Roxsy Tyler’s Carnival of Horrors,” is now fundraising a second campaign in hopes of securing the remaining budget to bring you the official farewell from the East Coast’s favorite horror hostess. This is a film being created out of devotion and love for Roxsy’s fans, and with an understanding that all you ghouls and goblins deserve a proper goodbye from the woman you followed these last three years.
With the launch of the second Roxsy & Me indiegogo campaign also came the announcement that two horror stars have been added to the film’s line ups. Franchise actors Carmela Hayslett (Roxsy Tyler), Christian Grillo (Mr. Potent), Chuck Maher (Count Chuckula), and Johnnie Howard (Johnnie 13) will be joined on screen by 2013 Horror Host Hall of Famer Karen Scioli and 60s/70s star Sharon Smyth Lentz. Scioli is most known for her portrayal of Stella on “Saturday Night Dead,” and Lentz is most known for playing Sarah Collins on “Dark Shadows.” Both women have returned to the world of entertainment after lengthy absences in many Potent Media films including Apocalypse Kiss, Death Follows, Sugar Skull Girls, and now Roxsy & Me. Other confirmed cast members for this title include Bob Billbrough – also of “Saturday Night Dead” fame, Rory Ogden, and Kathleen Grillo.

“Roxsy & Me is a comedy about actress Carmela Hayslett quitting and moving on from her popular horror hosting alter ego Roxsy Tyler. As she strives to seriously pursue her acting career she realizes her fans have jumped off of the band wagon, her co-stars are mad at her and determining to make her life a living hell, and as if matters couldn’t get worse… Roxsy Tyler is actually alive and well as a separate entity, plotting to repossess the body of the actress who created her.”
Roxsy & Me is written and will be directed by Carmela Hayslett too!
