Erica Leerhsen is set to star in director Jon Keeyes’ (Fall Down Dead) soon-to-start shooting period frightener Phobia. The 35-year-old genre babe will play Dr. Lesley Parker, a 19th century psychiatrist treating a disturbed Romanian man who just might be a vampire (“Sopranos” with a vamp twist?).

Phobia costars Chase Jeffery (American Virgin), Matthew Tompkins (Mongolian Death Worm), Jonathan Brooks (The Playroom), Nicole Leigh (Karma Police), and Matt Moore (Premonition) as a young Sigmund Freud.

Leerhsen’s horror creds include Platinum Dunes’ stellar 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the supernatural thriller Lonely Joe and sequels Wrong Turn 2: Dead End and Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.

Phobia rolls camera on Oct. 3 in Dallas, Texas
