“Sabrina Swanson, obsessed with putting on the perfect ten-year high school reunion, is forced to team up with her archnemesis after the school’s mascot morphs into a blood thirsty warthog, threatening the graduates of Wallingham High.”
Check out the full plot rundown and BD Exclusive trailer below!
“Sabrina Swanson loved high school. She lived for it. But there was one thing she loved more: besting her archrival Rosario Stewart at any cost. So much so, that when she’s tasked with putting on her ten-year reunion, she doesn’t just give it her all, she makes it her life’s mission to show Rosario up once and for all by throwing the best reunion in the history of reunions.
Her perfect plans get thwarted, however, when someone digs up and puts on the possessed school mascot costume, the Wallingham Warthog. When Sabrina first realizes the Warthog Monster is roaming the halls in a murderous pursuit, she attempts blissful ignorance in order to keep the party going and her reputation intact. The blood stains and power outages become hard to hide, and Sabrina is forced to face the fact that her party isn’t going to turn out the way she’d meticulously planned. Chaos ensues.
Sabrina and Rosario reluctantly accept a tenuous truce to work together to defeat the monster. If it falls apart, it’s game over for them all.”
Blue Ice’s Killer High was written by Suzanne Keilly and directed by Jem Garrard.
The cast also includes Humberly Gonzalez, Asha Bromfield, Varun Saranga, Lauren Collins, Kate Ross and Jonathan Langdon.

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
