🚨 SPOILER ALERT! Beyond Salem: Stacy Haiduk and Real-Life Daughter Sophia Tatum Unleash a “Psycho Killer” Vampire Movie – Get Ready for Blood and Family Bonds! 🚨

Get ready for an exclusive look behind the scenes and outside of Salem, “Days of Our Lives” fans, as beloved star Stacy Haiduk (known for her iconic roles as Kristen DiMera and Susan Banks) teams up with her real-life daughter, Sophia Tatum, and husband Bradford Tatum, for an incredibly exciting and terrifying new project! This talented family trio is hoping to transform their chilling short film, “Brand New Cadillac,” into a full-length feature, aiming to make a bloody splash at the box office!

During a recent visit to the “Days of Our Lives” set, Stacy Haiduk gave Soaps.com an exclusive, thrilling inside look at this ambitious family affair. Prepare yourselves, because the premise is truly wild: “Brand New Cadillac is a mother and daughter road-trip movie,” Haiduk reveals with a mischievous gleam. But this isn’t your typical heartwarming journey; it’s got a gruesome twist! “Mother just happens to need blood to feed on, and daughter just happens to be a psycho killer.”

Yes, you read that right. Haiduk’s character is avampire, and her own daughter’s character is a killer! The film chronicles their intense, week-long journey through the desert, where the daughter is faced with the grim task of “feeding mommy.” Despite the macabre plot, Haiduk insists that the film is more than just gore. She promises it has “a lot of heart and love, though,” hinting at a complex and perhaps darkly humorous family dynamic amidst the bloodshed. This unique blend of horror, dark comedy, and unexpected emotional depth is sure to captivate fans of the genre and intrigue those curious about this “Days of Our Lives” star’s creative pursuits.

This film is truly a “labor of love” for the entire Haiduk-Tatum clan. Dad Bradford Tatum (Stacy’s husband) masterfully penned the script, while the talented mother-daughter duo, Stacy and Sophia, took on the dual responsibilities of directing and acting. This collaborative effort speaks volumes about their shared creative vision and passion for storytelling. Haiduk shared their next crucial steps, inviting “daytime fans” to “sink their teeth into helping the project expand to the next level.”

To that end, the family is hosting a special fundraiser event on July 27th. Haiduk encourages everyone to join them for a night of suspense and behind-the-scenes insights: “We are doing a little fundraiser on July 27th, at 7 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. PT. We will be showing the whole short film and then doing some Q&A and a little auction at the end of it, so I hope you can join us.” She guarantees a good time, promising, “I think it’ll be a lot of fun.” This event offers a unique opportunity for fans to directly support the expansion of this thrilling project and get a personal glimpse into the creative process of the Haiduk-Tatum family.

“Brand New Cadillac” has already begun to make waves in the film festival circuit, generating buzz and positive reception. It has been officially featured in several prestigious events, including the 25th Landshut Short Film Festival in Germany and the renowned Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans. For horror aficionados, Haiduk has also shared a tantalizing array of “behind-the-scenes snapshots” online that are sure to leave you “thirsting for a sequel.” These glimpses into the production process build excitement and hint at the visual style and atmosphere of the short film, promising a truly immersive and terrifying experience.

This isn’t the first time the talented family has collaborated on a creative venture. Back in 2006, Bradford Tatum wrote, directed, and starred in the drama “Salt” (not to be confused with the Angelina Jolie film), which also featured both Stacy Haiduk and a younger Sophia Tatum. This history of working together demonstrates their strong artistic bond and shared commitment to storytelling across generations.

“Days of Our Lives” viewers might also remember Sophia Tatum’s own brief but memorable appearance in Salem back in 2020. She notably played Xander Kiriakis’s mysterious “lady of the evening” during a period when he was staying at the Salem Inn, nursing his broken heart over Sarah Horton. This small role offered a glimpse of Sophia’s own acting talent and her connection to the “Days of Our Lives” universe, making this new collaboration with her mother even more exciting for long-time fans.

For those eager to dive deeper into this thrilling project and support its expansion into a feature film, more information on the July 27th event is available. Additionally, don’t miss the exclusive video clip featuring Stacy Haiduk discussing “Brand New Cadillac” and a captivating gallery of snapshots showcasing other “daytime stars with their real-life kids.” This project promises to be a gruesome, yet heartwarming, testament to family, horror, and cinematic ambition.
