Director Kenny Scott Guffey and Producer Chris Hooten’s CK Film and Entertainment continue to build their brand with Kings of Horror. This past 2025 saw the indie film studio being featured in Billboard Magazine for their award-winning film Rick Nelson: Guntersville, and wrapping their action drama, 77, which premieres in early 2026.
But horror is a still a priority for the studio.

West, with narrator Danny Hitt (Fright Night).
