'The Spore' | Local horror film gets national release

Halloween may be over, but the scares continue with a new horror film titled, “The Spore,” which was just released on DVD, streaming platforms and VOD.

The film stars Jeanie Jefferies, Haley Heslip and Peter Tell. It follows the lives of 10 strangers trying to stay alive as a deadly fungus spreads throughout their town. Not only was "The Spore" filmed in West Michigan, mostly Lowell, but it was written and directed D.M. Cunningham, who lives in Grand Rapids.

“If it's not my family, which is number one, that's the thing — movies,” Cunningham said. “Watching movies, making movies, thinking about movies.”

His genre of choice is horror, and he said his fascination with scary movies dates back to his childhood.
