Interesting facts

ThanksKilling is a 2008 American independent black comedy slasher film produced, co-written and directed by Jordan Downey. A spoof of low-budget horror features, it follows a group of college students who are terrorized by a killer possessed turkey. With a production budget of $3,500, the film received generally negative reviews from critics upon release. However, it attained a cult following, and was followed by a sequel, ThanksKilling 3, in 2012 and a musical adaptation in 2013.

Production

ThanksKilling was shot on a budget of $3,500 for 14 days in the summer of 2007, by college students Jordan Downey (director/writer/producer), Kevin Stewart (writer/producer), and Brad Schulz (additional writer). Due to the film's minuscule budget, Turkie's puppet was handmade in Downey's apartment bathroom, many locations were locally accessible without permits, and casting commenced in a garage.
