Lisa Wilcox, beloved by horror fans worldwide for her legendary performance as Alice Johnson in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, has officially joined the cast of Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light as Detective Garner.
Part of the longest running horror franchise in cinema history, Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light is a dark found footage descent into cult terror, ancient evil, and the cursed legend of The Children of the Hollow deep within North Carolina.
Wilcox joins a growing cast that includes Andrew Pierson of Return of the Living Dead: Trash’s Revenge, A Soldier’s Descent, and Witchcraft: The Initiation alongside Kristina Lafser of A Soldier’s Descent, The Last Sleepover, and Haunted House of Pancakes.
Detective Garner is a woman already scarred by years of horrifying investigations tied to disappearances, ritualistic murders, and secrets that were never meant to resurface. The deeper the crew digs, the more they realize Garner may know far more about the nightmare awaiting them than she’s willing to admit.
“Lisa Wilcox is someone I grew up watching and admiring as a horror fan, so having her become part of Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light is honestly surreal,” said director Carissa Pierson. “She brings strength, emotion, and authenticity to Detective Garner in a way that elevates the entire film. Fans are going to see a darker, more psychological side of horror with this story, and Lisa fits perfectly into that world.”
Lisa Wilcox’s addition brings another legendary name into the terrifying world of Witchcraft, blending classic horror legacy with a new chapter of psychological and supernatural dread.
