Luke St. Germaine is an indie filmmaker based in Salem, MA. He started as a screenwriter, then started producing short films. This is his ninth short film, many of which have won awards (including Best Horror Short, Best Local Horror Short, and Best Cult Film at Shockfest). His goal is to produce an indie horror film set in The Witch City.
This short film continues the world-building storyline set up in previous short films, a world where the real life of Salem, MA, intersects with the supernatural, and a deadly cult hides in the shadows. "The Guest on Topsfield Road" is set on the fringes of Salem Woods, as a guest staying at an AirBnB is interrupted by another guest checking in. As their conversation grows increasingly tense, it becomes clear that one of them is actually a ghost.
