‘Key of Bones’ Announces Main Cast for Supernatural Horror-Comedy

The upcoming supernatural horror-comedy Key of Bones: Curse of the Ghost Pirate is moving toward the final stretch of production as filming wraps up in Key West, Florida. Blending pirate mythology, cursed relics, and modern-day mayhem, the film brings together a fully assembled ensemble that balances humor, brutality, and emotional weight.

Based on the screenplay by Tony Armer, Key of Bones follows a resurrected pirate spirit unleashing violent vengeance across the island, forcing unlikely heroes to confront an ancient curse tied to blood-marked coins and unfinished business from the 1700s.

Gina Vitori as Mary

Gina Vitori stars as Mary, a Key West waitress living on a houseboat who wants nothing more than to keep her head down and survive island life. That changes when she becomes marked by a cursed pirate coin and targeted by a vengeful ghost from the past.

As the story unfolds, Mary discovers she is a descendant of legendary pirate Mary Read, making her central to the curse and the emotional heart of the film. Grounded, skeptical, and quietly strong, Mary is forced into a battle she never asked for — and may not survive.

Jeremy King as Christie

Jeremy King plays Christie, a brash, crude, and initially self-centered tourist whose vacation turns into a nightmare. After losing his friends to a supernatural massacre, Christie finds himself marked by the same cursed coin as Mary.

What begins as comic relief evolves into a genuine character arc, as Christie is forced to confront loss, fear, and responsibility while helping Mary fight back against an unstoppable supernatural force.

Melissa Chick as Anne Bonny

Melissa Chick portrays the film’s central antagonist — Anne Bonny, the resurrected ghost pirate whose rage fuels the story.

Murdered in the early 1700s and separated from her lover Mary Read, Anne returns to modern-day Key West to reclaim her lost treasure and reunite with who she believes is Mary reborn. Equal parts tragic, terrifying, and relentless, Anne Bonny is not just a killer — she’s a spirit driven by obsession, grief, and centuries of unresolved vengeance.

Benjamin Healy (Jessica Deveraux) as Desiree

Benjamin Healy, performing as Jessica Deveraux, plays Desiree, a drag performer whose life is violently upended when Anne Bonny forcibly recruits her into a ghostly crew.

Possessed and transformed into a supernatural enforcer, Desiree becomes one of the film’s most unsettling figures — tragic, dangerous, and stripped of agency — embodying the horror of lost identity.

Ty Spann as Ezekiel

Ty Spann plays Ezekiel, a former enslaved man resurrected and bound to Anne Bonny’s will.

Supernaturally powerful and brutally efficient, Ezekiel serves as Anne’s primary tracker and enforcer. His presence adds a darker, more physical menace to the film while tying the curse to deeper historical wounds embedded in the island.

Chad Newman as Dave

Chad Newman appears as Dave, a ghost tour operator, historian, and occult expert who becomes Mary and Christie’s reluctant guide into the supernatural underbelly of Key West.

Armed with historical knowledge, paranormal tech, and a genuine love for all things haunted, Dave provides both exposition and unexpected heroics as the group races to stop the curse before New Year’s Eve.

Kitty Clements as Barbara Mabrity

Kitty Clements plays Barbara Mabrity, the ghost of a long-time lighthouse keeper and one of the island’s oldest spiritual protectors.

Unlike Anne Bonny, Barbara represents preservation and balance, watching over Key West and opposing forces that threaten to tear it apart. Her role becomes pivotal as ancient spirits clash in the final act.

Vincent De Paul as Ernesto Santiago

Vincent De Paul portrays Ernesto Santiago, a local councilman whose political ambitions and greed place him directly in the path of the supernatural chaos.

While not a ghost, Ernesto represents the very real threat of gentrification and exploitation — making him just as dangerous as the undead in the world of Key of Bones.

A Supernatural Collision of Past and Present

Key of Bones: Curse of the Ghost Pirate blends brutal horror, sharp comedy, and historical myth into a uniquely Key West story where pirate legends refuse to stay buried. With its ensemble cast now revealed, the film is shaping up to deliver a blood-soaked, darkly funny ghost story anchored by strong character arcs and rich lore.
