This past Friday, Shudder surprised its viewers with the streaming premiere of the horror anthology Scare Package, which was the first movie introduced on The Last Drive-in With Joe Bob Briggs ahead of its official release this coming Thursday, June 18th.

Tapping into the concept from our V/H/S films, this anthology is a comedy that features a series of short segments taking aim at traditional genre tropes and overused clichés.

Created by Aaron B. Koontz & Cameron Burns, Scare 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 Vaughn. Emily 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.

Here’s a taste of one of the shorts in which a woman, hiding in the middle of the woods, comes across a man who is in the wrong place at the wrong time – he’s torn to shreds by a masked assailant.
