The title Monsters Of California intends to refer to a variety of entities sought by three adventuresome teen lads. We meet them hunting ghosts and demons before they shift into pursuing urban legend myths and ultimately trying to prove UFOs have been visiting from other worlds. The title unintentionally winds up equally applying to many of the mere mortals among them.
Dallas Edward’s (Jack Samson) dad was a Navy pilot, presumed dead from a secrecy-shrouded mission some years before. His smart pal Riley (Jared Scott) and their goofy stoner cohort nicknamed Toe (Jack Lancaster) crash headlong into conflicts with military and covert government entities thwarting their efforts while also dogging them in search of some intel Dallas’ dad may have left behind. That bunch is headed by Casper Van Dien, playing...

Monsters of California trailer: sci-fi film directed by Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge gets October release
Sixteen months have passed since we saw a teaser trailer for the sci-fi adventure Monsters of California, which marks the feature directorial debut of Tom DeLonge, the guitarist and co-lead vocalist in the band Blink-182. At that time, we had no idea when Monsters of California was going to be making its way out into the world… but now we do. The film is set to receive a theatrical and VOD release on October 6th, and with that date less than a month away a full trailer has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.
DeLonge’s interest in UFOs, the paranormal, cryptids, and conspiracy theories is very well known, and his research in those areas was put to use when crafting the story for Monsters of California with co-writer Ian Miller. The film follows teenager Dallas Edwards and his misfit friends as they attempt to...

"Dad never thought I was crazy!" Cartel & To The Stars has revealed a teaser trailer for a mysterious sci-fi thriller project titled Monsters of California, arriving sometime later this year. This has a vintage look and feel, referencing the kind of low-budget sci-fi movies they don't make anymore. Marking the directorial debut of rocker Tom DeLonge (of Blink 182 and Angels & Airwaves), Monsters of California follows the teenager Dallas Edwards and his misfit friends as they attempt to unearth answers to a series of mysterious, paranormal events happening around Southern California. They soon begin to unravel the extraordinary secrets held within the deepest levels of the Government. The film stars Richard Kind, Casper Van Dien (Johnny Rico!!), Arianne Zucker, Camille Kostek, Gabrielle Haugh, Jack Samson, Jared Scott, and Jack Lancaster. This doesn't look half bad, but there's so much going on in this teaser it's a bit hard to make any sense of it.

After producing and scoring William Eubank’s Love, as well as co-directing the short Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker, he’s now embarking on his feature directorial debut, and it shouldn’t be surprising that the story involves paranormal activity and the extraterrestrial.

The ensemble features Richard Kind, Casper Van Dien, Arianne Zucker, Gabrielle Haugh, Camille Kostek, along with newcomers Jack Samson, Jared Scott, and Jack Lancaster.
