hidden horror haunts ocracoke

Vampire movie filming on Ocracoke has surprising nuance

As though Ocracoke hasn’t suffered enough, there’s a vampire loose on the island. A vampire who has been there for 160 years. Ocracoke the movie is being filmed on location. The plot is nuanced and asks some important questions. Kip Tabb, writing for the Outer Banks Voice, has the story.

“Amidst the beauty of Ocracoke a horror lurks. The residents, complicit if not always willing participants in the terror that stalks the island, have entered an unholy alliance, pitting their dreams of financial independence against an unspeakable evil.

With on-location filming for Dave Dean’s horror movie Ocracoke beginning last week, the story of Thomas White and his profane hold upon the village has begun to emerge. White is a 120-year-old vampire masquerading as young entrepreneur who has created a massive trust fund for all of the residents of the village. All they have to do, in return, is turn a blind eye to the occasional tourist who disappears.”
