Local independent horror film to use Easthampton, Hadley and Holyoke as filming locations

A local independent horror film, “Blood/Lust,” directed by David Zargoski of Easthampton, will begin filming in some familiar Pioneer Valley locations, next week.

Easthampton’s Nashawannuck Pond boardwalk, the Quarters in Hadley and parts of Holyoke will set scenes for the upcoming film between Aug. 21 and Sept. 3.

In an interview with the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Zargoski said “This area, Western Mass., is a great area for shooting. A lot of places are open to allowing filmmakers like myself use their business for a location.”

Mad Z Productions, Zargoski’s video and film production company has already released three other films. According to his website, the projects vary in genre but emphasize bringing “creativity, originality and true terror back to horror films.”
