Official Trailer Debuts for Joe Davison’s Horror-Comedy Demon Queen Pinball Machine Ahead of Tampa Theatre Premiere

Independent filmmaker Joe Davison has released the initial trailer for his horror-comedy Demon Queen Pinball Machine. Shot entirely in Tampa, the film mixes retro arcade atmosphere, practical effects and supernatural mayhem.

Synopsis

The story follows Derrick and Max, two down-on-their-luck video-store employees who accept a job delivering a vintage pinball cabinet. When the machine is plugged in the cabinet’s vengeful spirit — the film’s title entity, the Demon Queen — is unleashed, triggering a violent and comedic chain of events.

Cast and Credits

• Joe Davison — director and stars as Derrick
• Francesco S. Viola — plays Max
• Renee Daw — appears as occult specialist River
• Elissa Dowling — portrays the Demon Queen
• Mike Ferguson — appears as the mysterious client, Eddie

Davison has described the project as aiming to evoke the energy of late-1980s practical-FX horror comedies while highlighting Tampa locations and local talent.

Premiere Details

The film is scheduled to make its theatrical world premiere on October 29 at Tampa Theatre’s Duncan Auditorium, presented as part of the venue’s 31 Days of Horror season. The trailer was released concurrent with the premiere build-up, and the official preview is available to stream online. Tickets for the October 29 screening are being offered through the theatre’s box office channels.

The film’s blend of creature-driven scares and physical comedy positions it as an independent genre entry aimed at fans of retro arcade horror and practical effects-driven chaos.
