‘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.

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.
