SCREAMBOX October Line-Up Includes “Tales From the Void” Series, ‘Crackcoon’, and ‘Haunted Ulster Live’!
It’s officially Halloween season and SCREAMBOX has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in October, including our brand new original series, “Tales from the Void”, the viral sensation Crackcoon, and the Ghostwatch-inspired Haunted Ulster Live.
Just when you thought it was safe to take out the trash, Crackcoon kills! Described as “Rocket Raccoon meets Cocaine Bear,” the SCREAMBOX Original horror-comedy is streaming now!
Who will survive The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and what will be left of them? Celebrate 50 years of Leatherface with Tobe Hooper’s indelible horror masterpiece, now playing on SCREAMBOX!
On October 8, Haunted Ulster Live will take viewers back to Halloween 1998. Drawing comparisons to Ghostwatch and Late Night With the Devil, the SCREAMBOX Exclusive film is presented as a live broadcast from a haunted house that goes terrifyingly wrong.
SCREAMBOX Original horror anthology series Tales from the Void will get under viewers’ skin with two episodes every Sunday between October 13 and October 27. Based on haunting viral stories from Reddit’s popular NoSleep community, the show features episodes directed by Joe Lynch (Mayhem), John Adams & Toby Poser (Hellbender), and more.
Other October highlights include Halloween anthology All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster; indie slasher Dark Windows; The Dark Zone’s Balgonie Castle investigation with Star Wars producer Rick McCallum; and the eleventh season of Bloody Disgusting’s snack-sized horror showcase Bloody Bites.
Start screaming now with SCREAMBOX on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Prime Video, Roku, Fire TV, YouTube TV, Samsung, Comcast, Cox, and Screambox.com.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
