Sin-Jin Smyth is a 2008 horror film written and directed by Ethan Dettenmaier, based on an old legend inspired by the Kansas Stull Cemetery. The story involves the Devil simultaneously appearing in two places, the high plains of India and a Kansas cemetery, every Halloween at midnight. However, on November 2nd ("The Day of the Dead"), two Federal Marshals report to a Shin Bone, Kansas jail to transfer a prisoner known simply as Sin-Jin Smyth during a tornado warning. The film stars professional wrestler Roddy Piper, Jonathan Davis (vocalist of the nu metal band Korn), Richard Tyson, and Jacqueline Moore. "Sin-Jin Smyth" also co-stars Kevin Gage, Camden Toy, Billy Duffy (guitarist of the hard rock band The Cult), Jenna Jameson and Charles Cyphers.

The film was originally slated for release in late 2006, but had been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. Although there has been speculation on whether the movie will ever be released, on January 25, 2007, IMDb revised the project status to "post-production" even though principal photography has yet to be completed.

As of 2008, the film has yet to complete principal photography, with many online sources citing a lack of funding. [ [http://www.fangoria.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=84515&view=findpost&p=1532005 "Fangoria's editor notes lack of funds for Sin-Jin Smyth"] ]

According to one of the actresses in the film, Eileen Dietz, the film is "never coming out". [ [http://www.fearnet.com/MCNewsDetailPage.aspx?catid=30&mid=13252 "Interview with actress Eileen Dietz"] ]

Star Roddy Piper recently said to Fangoria about the film, "They keep hyping it like it’s gonna come out, and it’s just not finished, and I don’t like the fact that they’re using my name. I was talking to Richard Tyson about it, saying, ‘You know, I’m just gonna pull it off the market.’ But he said, ‘Leave it out there, because you never know—they might come around,’ so we decided to see what the director and his people can do to get it back up. They spent all their money, and they didn’t have a completion bond—so I hear, anyway" [ [http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=6544 "Interview with Roddy Piper"] ]
