Zac King

Born 1998 · Ontario, Canada

Zac King has always had a thing for horror and the unsettling atmosphere surrounding it. In 2014 he began working at Bizarro's Factory of Fear haunted attraction under his mentor Calvin Cox, learning prop and set design, as well as what he calls the "art of the scare" while playing the main character, "Pigman". In 2019 he purchased the attraction and revamped it with a new focus on storytelling and realism. After an unfortunate fire that took the business in 2020, he has focused solely on filmmaking, directing shorts such as "Room 134", "The Reaper" and "Prom of the Dead", until making his feature film debut with "Jim's Room" in 2021. Zac's passion for entertainment does extend beyond his love of horror. In 2020, he created "SchmucksTV", a comedy web series alongside frequent collaborator Michael Masurkevitch, placing themselves in strange situations like a hot dog eating contest crossed with a professional wrestling match and participating in Jackass inspired stunts and shenanigans.
