Spencer Parson’s Saturday Morning Massacre is going to have its world premiere in The Beyond section at this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival. For more on the film you can visit its website and “like” it on Facebook. Check out the poster, trailer, and a synopsis after the jump. 

Four professional ghost hunters, who travel in a vintage van accompanied by their canine companion (sound familiar?), get far more than they bargained for when they take on a rambling mansion with a mysterious past.
