YOU MAY NOW ENTER THE VALLEY. The official Valley of the Horntak website is live. Or, perhaps we should sayโ€ฆa website has appeared. Explore the history of the Rite of Cycle. Discover what lives in the valley. Learn about the film. Dig a little deeper into the world behind the Horntak. Just understand that Gordon has been made aware of certain unauthorized depictions of the Rite, its members, and its practices contained on this website. He is not pleased. Gordon would like it known that the filmmakers did not receive permission to document these events, that several representations are โ€œincomplete, misleading, and deeply disrespectful to the natural order,โ€ and that further discussion of the matter will be handled internally. We have decided to leave the website up anyway. For now...enter the valley at: horntak.com ENTRY IS VOLUNTARY. DEPARTURE MAY REQUIRE APPROVAL.

๐ŸŽฌ ACTOR SPOTLIGHT โ€” MICHAEL PERL as AARON In Valley of the Horntak, Michael Perl brings depth of experience to Aaron, helping ground a story where very human struggles collide with something far more disturbing lurking in the Kentucky wilderness. Michael brings an authenticity and grounded presence to Aaron that fits perfectly within the atmosphere of Valley of the Horntak. In a film filled with unsettling creatures, a mysterious cult, and forces capable of altering both mind and flesh, Michaelโ€™s performance helps keep the story rooted in something real. Michael came to Horntak Valley with an extensive career spanning more than three decades across television, film, and the Los Angeles stage. Many audiences will remember him as Winston Egbert on the hit 1990s series Sweet Valley High, a role he played across dozens of episodes. His television credits also include appearances on Scandal, Chuck, Third Watch, Eleventh Hour, The Playboy Club, and The Bold and the Beautiful. His film work includes Stalked by My Doctor: A Sleepwalkerโ€™s Nightmare, Lena and Snowball, Aloha with Love, Chaos on the Farm, Trapped in the Cabin, and Craft Me a Romance. A UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television graduate, Michael has also spent years working in Los Angeles theatre and expanded his work behind the camera as a writer and producer. Along with his wife, Melissa Lugo, he founded Burton Street Productions, producing award-winning shorts and web series. Weโ€™re proud to have an actor with Michaelโ€™s experience and range as part of the Horntak family, and grateful he made the journey into the Valley with us. ๐ŸŽฅ VALLEY OF THE HORNTAK Some places change you. Horntak consumes you. #ValleyOfTheHorntak #MichaelPerl #ActorSpotlight #FolkHorror #IndieHorror by @maxwellmorro
