HONESDALE, PA — The Canaltown Short Spooky Movie Festival announced the winners of the 2014 Spooky Awards. The international festival, presented by Canaltown, took place on November 1 at The Cooperage in Honesdale and featured original movies by filmmakers from Honesdale, the surrounding area and the world.

Winners of the gold “Spooky” were Zack Jennings and Theodore Malakin III of Honesdale for “Shackman.” Filmed in Bethany, the wordless movie relays the tale of a shack dweller (Roberto Verde) who uses ingenuity to assist a panicked young woman (Katalin Justice) fight off a bumbling monster (Derek Williams).

Winners of the silver “Spooky” were Mary Colgan and Joëlle Dujardin of Honesdale for “Leunesy.” Filmed at Leunes’ bar in Honesdale, it’s the story of an out-of-town visitor (Jeff Dujardin) who stops into the tavern where the mood grows progressively sinister. The cast also includes several local people, including Cliff Krajkovich of Waymart and Katalin Justice of Honesdale.

The bronze “Spooky” was awarded to Shaun Clark of Hetforshire, England, for “Lady and the Tooth,” an eerie animated film about a community in which the most precious commodity is teeth.
