Rockhouse Pictures is conducting an open casting call that day for a new horror-action motion picture, THE SPIDER BABIES. This marks the second motion picture for the company, which in 2006 produced the award-winning horror film, SEX MACHINE.

THE SPIDER BABIES is the story of a three-girl punk rock band stranded in the middle of nowhere, USA after a mysterious post-apocalyptic event. They'll need gas, food and guns if they're going to make it out alive.

Auditions will be held:

Wednesday November 5th - Noon to 6 p.m.
Thursday November 6th - Noon to 6 p.m.
Dougherty Arts Center
Conference Room B
1110 Barton Springs Road
Austin, TX, 78704.

All of the roles will be physically demanding, requiring running, fighting and the like.

This is a non-SAG feature, but all performers will be paid a realistic day rate. Meals will be provided.

ETHEL, (female, 20's) the lead singer for a punk-rock band, a blonde bombshell who's not as ditzy as she might seem (partial nudity required)

POLLY, (female, 20's) the guitarist for a punk-rock band, a diminutive collegiate type about to start at Harvard Law School.

JOHNNY, (male, late 20's) a tall and lean post-punk cowboy.

BART, (male, 40's-50's) a redneck tow-truck driver (partial nudity required).

Additionally, we are looking for:

CREATURE PERFORMERS - We need several physically talented performers for some very demanding, but non-speaking roles. A background in dance, mime or similar field would be perfect.

To schedule an audition, please e-mail your resume and JPG headshot to casting@thespiderbabies.com.

Thanks!
