‘Easter Bloody Easter’ Exclusive Trailer – New Easter Horror Movie Unleashes a Sadistic Jackalope
The world can never have enough holiday-themed horror movies, and we were excited to learn – thanks, Variety! – that a brand new Easter horror movie is headed our way this year.
In the wake of Variety’s report earlier today, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with the exclusive trailer for Easter Bloody Easter, the directorial debut of Diane Foster.
Foster also stars in the film, which comes to VOD outlets on March 26, 2024.
Watch Gravitas Ventures’ official trailer for Easter Bloody Easter below!
Here’s the official synopsis: “The film follows Jeanie (Foster), who, after discovering her husband missing and his car wrecked with blood and fur, embarks on a journey with her friend Carol to uncover the truth behind the town’s dark legend of the killer Jackalope — a shapeshifting human-rabbit hybrid that terrorized the area a century and a half ago. Now, Jeanie and Carol must team up with professional bunny slayer Megan to save their small Texan town — on the eve of celebrating “Easter-palooza” — and stop the Jackalope once and for all.”
Kelly Grant, Allison Lobel, Zuri Starks, D’Andre Noiré, Zachary Kanner, Miles Cooper and Gavin Lee also star in Easter Bloody Easter, which was written by Allison Lobel.
The plan here is to launch an Easter Bloody Easter franchise. Foster explains to Variety, “As the first installment in the Easter Bloody Easter franchise, this film is a quirky murder mystery that brings to Easter what it has been missing — an unforgettable movie monster and a chance to laugh, scream and sing along, just like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

‘The Looming’ – A24 and ‘Talk to Me’ Producers To Team on Feature Adaptation of Sundance Horror Short
A24 is aiming to recreate the breakout success of last year’s Talk to Me by reuniting with Causeway Films (Talk to Me) and Ari Aster’s Square Peg (Hereditary) for a feature length adaptation of Masha Ko‘s Sundance short film The Looming.
Masha Ko will write and direct The Looming.
About the short film: “When a virtual home assistant speaker, Luna, picks up the strange noise Chester has heard in his house, he realizes that it may not be a symptom of dementia.”
The short film stars Joseph Lopez, Kolten Horner, Brianne Buishas, and Alyssa Nicole.
Ko is an award-winning director and human installation artist, with the goal to highlight the stories of individuals who are often overlooked by society and whose lives are rarely celebrated through artistic forms. That’s evident in the premise for her short film, which played in the Midnight Short Film Program at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. During the festival, Ko won the Short Film Special Jury Prize for Directing the psychological thriller.
The jurors said of Ko’s short, “Terrifyingly beautiful seems like an oxymoronic phrase, but this terrifying yet beautiful short left us deeply moved and served as a haunting reminder to not send your parents’ calls to voicemail.”
The success of the short clearly caught the attention of A24, and its plot feels reminiscent of 2020’s Relic.
A24 will produce alongside Square Peg’s Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone and Causeway Films’ Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton. A24 will finance and handle worldwide releasing.
Stay tuned for additional details on The Looming as they arrive.
