Huck and Marley help people for money. Well, in theory anyway… For some reason, their “help” always seems to involve massive amounts of property damage, a somehow guaranteed collision with the supernatural and, if Marley has his way, a huge body count. They’re the Gunpowder Prophets, and a simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns weird when the super groovy leader’s supernatural powers turn out to be very, very real. It’s seventies style horror mixed with grindhouse action in Gunpowder Prophets. Gonzo over the top action horror from Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode), Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters are my Business), Roman Stevens, and Taylor Esposito.
