Stan the Mechanic Hosting a Trio of Horror Classics Including ‘Scream Bloody Murder’ and ‘The Bat’
Like Vampira, Svengoolie, Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs before him, Stan the Mechanic will be hosting three classic horror movies on the road to Halloween this year, we’ve learned.
The fun begins with Scream Bloody Murder on October 7th, followed by Devil Times Five on October 14th, and then finally The Bat on October 21st.
Parrlime Productions, the LGBTQ+ production company known for creating diverse film and television content, has partnered with Stan for the spooky triple feature.
Created and played by actor, writer and comedian John A. Hernandez, “Stan The Mechanic” is the one and only Satanic Mechanic, and has been chosen by the Devil to perpetuate all sorts of mischief and mayhem against humankind by using automobiles. During his downtime he likes to relax and crack jokes with his friends while watching horror movies. As a gay male, Stan enjoys showcasing queer Horror, but nothing is off-limits for this naughty little demon. “Stan The Mechanic” has appeared on Here TV, Vimeo, and YouTube.
Hernandez is a proud New Yorker of Puerto Rican and Italian heritage. As an out and proud gay man, he identifies as a bear and is truly honored to help give visibility to the LGBTQ+ community and people of size in the horror genre.
“With an ever growing and engaged audience, we decided to host these movies on our home page (www.stanthemechanic.com) so everyone can enjoy them for free at any time they want once they are live. “We’ll leave them up all year round too because for horror fans like myself every day is Halloween. We celebrate the genre all year long, not just in October,” said Hernandez.
“Stan The Mechanic was first seen last year with four episodes on HereTV, this year we wanted to tackle some big movies that happen to be in the public domain, and what better than to have movies starring the likes of Vincent Price, Agnes Morehead, Leif Garrett and Shelly Morrison to create the episodes around,” said Executive Producer, Richard Jones.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
