Horror Comedy ‘Night of the Punks’ Now Available on YouTube!
Fans of 80’s comedy horror gems such as Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Demons will not want to miss out on “Night of the Punks”, an insanely enjoyable short film from Dan Riesser, now available to stream in full on YouTube!
Punk Rock band Braindead get an unexpected invite to an out of town gig by the mysterious Raymond, all geared up for a night of mayhem the guys- and their hot merch girl- fail to be put off by the non-existent crowd and tear into the set. Only to have the mosh pit quickly descend into a blood bath as the sparse audience are torn apart by hungry demons!
Wanna see an impressive death by drumsticks? How about a decapitation with guitar strings? Love the greenish gore and sickly splatter of Evil Dead? It’s all here.
Dan Riesser and Mike Kinshell have put together a genius script with lots of laugh out loud gags that will have you bleary eyed with nostalgia for all your favourite splatter punk movies. Clocking in at under 19 minutes this riotous rock and roll horror will leave you reeling for more. Luckily for us there are plans to extend it into a feature film, with a script and casting already in place.
“Night of the Punks” has screened at 25 festivals across America picking up a handful of awards including Directing Newcomer to Watch and Best Horror Comedy.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
