‘McCurdy Point’ Character Posters Introduce Doomed Campers [Exclusive]
The sketch comedy-to-horror pipeline has yielded such voices as Jordan Peele and Zach Cregger, and now several members of the renowned comedy troupe The Groundlings made a found footage horror film titled McCurdy Point.
Off the success of its latest film festival honors, the team commissioned artist Rafael Araujo to create a series of character posters, which you can see exclusively below.
During a guys trip to a cabin in the deep woods of Maine, four friends are quickly caught up in supernatural forces they don’t understand.
Ryan Gaul (“Superstore”), Kiel Kennedy, Joey Krulock, and Christian Noah Roberts star with Allison Dunbar (“The Sopranos”), Patty Guggenheim (“Twisted Metal”), and Laird Macintosh (“The Mick”).
Jeremy Brothers and Nick Paonessa co-direct from a script by Brothers and Gaul, based on a story by Brothers, Gaul, and Kennedy.
Brothers, Paonessa, Gaul, and Kennedy serve as producers, with Chris Gierowski (Don’t Fuck in the Woods) and Matthew Gudernatch executive producing.
“We all work in comedy, so we were continually explaining why we were making a horror film,” Gaul tells Bloody Disgusting. “There’s a lot of overlap in executing horror and comedy. With both, you’re hoping to create a surprise for the audience — whether that surprise is a scare or a laugh.”
The movie’s festival run kicked off at Motor City Nightmares last year, where it won Best Feature, Best Directors, and Best in Show. It went on to take home awards from Chicago Horror Film Festival, Hollywood Horrorfest, The Freak Show Horror Film Festival, The Tucson Terrorfest, Unnamed Footage Festival, and Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival.
McCurdy Point’s is being represented by First Slate International as a sales agent.

Katharine Isabelle Battles Cosmic Horror in Exclusive ‘Junction Row’ Teaser Trailer [Fantasia 2026]
Among Fantasia 2026‘s massive final wave of programming this morning is Raven Banner’s Lovecraftian creature feature Junction Row, starring Canadian horror icon Katharine Isabelle, and we’re exclusively unveiling the teaser trailer.
Junction Row will celebrate its World Premiere at Fantasia on July 28.
Watch a housing compound fall under siege from Lovecraftian creatures more dangerous than drug dealers in the trailer below.
Junction Row follows “Juno, a recovering addict who leaves a fringe housing compound for a better life, leaving her beloved Ruby behind. When she learns that Ruby has gone missing, Juno returns, only to find Junction Row has become a hotbed of criminal activity, but she encounters much more than menacing drug dealers on her mission to find Ruby.”
Isabelle stars as Juno, with Natalie Brown (FX’s The Strain) as Ruby.
The creature feature marks the feature debut by director Ashlea Wessel, who has directed festival-favorite shorts like 2018’s “Tick” and 2020’s “Weirdo”.
Wessel co-writes Junction Row with Clown in a Cornfield author Adam Cesare and Matt Serafini.
Katharine Isabelle is coming off a brief appearance in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, and more recently appeared in holiday horror It’s a Wonderful Knife. The horror icon is arguably best known for her turn as the eponymous werewolf in Ginger Snaps and for her roles in American Mary and Freddy vs Jason.
Fantasia teases that Junction Row tells “a story where the fear of the unknown isn’t confined to what lies above, but what waits beneath.”
Stay tuned for more from Fantasia as the festival gets underway later this month.
