‘Halloween Store’ Posters Spotlight the Cast Trapped at the Shriek Shack in Campy Horror Comedy [Exclusive]
A killer loose on Halloween spells bad news for last-minute shoppers and employees at a costume shop in the upcoming campy horror comedy Halloween Store, and the official posters introduce the unlucky ensemble cast caught in the Shriek Shack.
Shane Dax Taylor (Murder Company) directs from a script by Chad Law (6 Bullets) and Josh Ridgway (The Flood).
The logline for Halloween Store reads: “a group of people find themselves trapped inside a costume store on Halloween night with a mysterious killer on the loose.“
Natalie Alyn Lind (“Dutton Ranch“, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) and Simon Rex (Red Rocket) lead the cast that includes Anthony Michael Hall (Halloween Kills), Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Nicholas Hamilton (It), Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead), Sydney Park (“The Walking Dead”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”), Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Bumblebee), Drew Ray Tanner (“Riverdale”), Kai Caster (“Spider Noir”) and Taipei Houston musicians Myles Ulrich and Layne Ulrich.
Meet the cast in the trio of official posters below, all hand-drawn by the artist Kadie Video.
It also gives a tiny glimpse of the Halloween store itself, Shriek Shack.
In addition to starring, Lind also produces Halloween Store alongside Kenneth Burke and Andrey Romanyuk. “Saturday Night Live” mainstay Kenan Thompson and Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) are among the executive producers on the project.
The posters indicate Shriek Shack might be one fun romp of a destination this Halloween season.
Stay tuned for additional news and release details for Halloween Store.

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.
