Pumpkin Gets Bitey In Eric England’s ‘Trick Or Treater: Part 2’!!!
Writer/director Eric England (Madison County, Roaside, Contracted) has provided (via an exclusive with us) you guys with another halloween treat in the form of a followup to last year’s Trick Or Treater short. If you’ll recall – and if you didn’t see it we’ve included below the jump as well – last year Ace Marrero (Madison County, Roadside) lost his gal Katie Stegeman (Roadside, Contracted) to a killer Cucurbita. And now it’s time for Trick Or Treater: Part Two!
This year he’s moved on to live with Charley Koontz (“Community”, Rubber, Contracted). But, much like Paxton in Hostel 2, he’s brought his baggage as a survivor to his new roommate. It’s pretty NSFW, with copious gore and an in-all-likelihood-illegal sexual act, but it’s a Sunday so that shouldn’t be a problem!
The short was produced by England and Matt Mercer (who is featured in an anonymous cameo in the beginning alongside Stegeman). Cinematography is by Mike Testin and editing by Josh Ethier. Head inside to check it out!

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
