The long-running horror website iHorror is moving into the feature filmmaking arena with Key of Bones: Curse of the Ghost Pirate, a supernatural horror-comedy that’s set to begin shooting entirely on location in Key West, Florida beginning in January 2026.
A supernatural horror-comedy, Key of Bones: Curse of the Ghost Pirate blends pirate mythology, ghost-story thrills, and the eccentric island energy that makes the Keys world-famous.
From director Tony Armer, “The film follows a local waitress, a ghost-tour guide, and an unlucky tourist who accidentally awaken a ghostly curse tied to the legendary pirate Anne Bonny, unleashing mayhem, mystery, and humor across paradise.”
Gina Vitori (The Salem Chronicles, Ahsoka) stars as Mary alongside Melissa Chick (Landman, Lioness) as Anne, and Jeremy King (Shudder’s Scare Package) as Christie.
“I’ve always had a great affinity for Key West,” Tony Armer said in a statement. “I lived and worked in Marathon years ago to make money for college, and I’ve attended and sponsored the Key West Film Festival many times. I’ve built wonderful relationships in the Keys over the years, and it’s such a unique and beautiful backdrop—so cinematic—that I wanted to bring it to the screen. This fun horror-comedy film felt like the perfect avenue to do it.”
Anthony Pernicka, CEO and Founder of iHorror, serves as a producer on Key of Bones: Curse of the Ghost Pirate. This film marks the first feature produced under the iHorror brand.
“We’re thrilled to be part of this project,” said Pernicka. “Key of Bones perfectly captures the kind of imaginative, fan-driven storytelling that iHorror audiences love. Bringing that energy to a full-length film shot in such an iconic place like Key West is incredibly exciting.”
