Faux ‘Scare Package’ Commercial Implores You to Visit Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium [Exclusive]

To celebrate the release of Scare Package on Blu-ray, Bloody has a hilarious faux commercial for Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium, Chad’s homemade campaign to keep his VHS Rental Store afloat in today’s world.

“Growing up a child of the ’80s, the video store was our church,” says director Aaron B. Koontz. “For Rad Chad Buckley, it’s also his home. Literally. We found a mattress in one of the back rooms with a curious candlelit shrine to Joe Bob Briggs. But we digress. As the creators of Scare Package, we wanted to pay homage to the local video store establishment, and what better way than to create our own completely absurd and rather hideous commercial. With our Rad Chad Rad Ad, you can get a glimpse into the day to day of the glamorous world of small town VHS rental stores in 2020.”

Created by Aaron B. Koontz & Cameron BurnsScare Package features seven segments from seven different filmmakers, billed as a “splatter-packed, deviously clever throwback that pays homage to horror classics, exploring—and subverting—different genre tropes. All wrapped around every horror fan’s beloved stomping grounds: an old school video store.”

In Scare Package, Chad, the owner of Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium, recounts a series of bone-chilling, blood-splattered tales to illustrate the rules of the horror genre to his newest employee.

Led by a diverse group of up-and-coming genre filmmakers, Scare Package features the directorial debuts of actors Noah Segan and Baron VaughnEmily Hagins (Netflix’s Coin Heist), Anthony Cousins (The Bloody Ballad of Squirt Reynolds), Chris McInroy (Bad Guy #2, Death Metal), Courtney and Hillary Andujar (Production Designers of The Girl On The Third Floor, Bloodline), and Aaron B. Koontz (Camera Obscura, the upcoming The Pale Door) round out the collection of filmmakers.

Just in time for Halloween, Scare Package is available now to own on Blu-ray packed with Special Features including:

– The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs: Scare Package Episode
– Creators Commentary on the Film, Commenting On Other Films That Have Better Commentary Tracks
– Bonus Segment: Locker Room Z, Directed by Mali Elfman

Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”

Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.

No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.

A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.

Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
