‘ParaNorman: The Thrifting’ – First Look at Brand New Official ‘ParaNorman’ Short Film [Trailer]
LAIKA is bringing the animated favorite ParaNorman back to theaters this Halloween season, but this re-release is a bit more special than the (para)norm. This re-release will include a brand new animated short film titled ParaNorman: The Thrifting! Watch the trailer below.
The new CG-animated short, ParaNorman: The Thrifting, stars Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”) and Anna Kendrick reprising her role of Norman’s older sister, Courtney
The short movie is written by Chris Butler, who wrote and co-directed ParaNorman with Sam Fell, and directed by LAIKA lead character designer Thibault LeClercq.
The 2012 stop-motion animated film will screen in newly remastered 3D and 2D formats from October 25-28 via Fathom Entertainment. You’ll also find the main re-release trailer below.
In ParaNorman, when the quiet town of Blithe Hollow is overrun by zombies, only 11-year-old Norman Babcock—who can see and speak with ghosts—can stop the chaos. With a centuries-old witch’s curse, mysterious ghosts, wily witches, and clueless grown-ups, Norman’s paranormal powers are about to be tested like never before.
Kodi Smit-McPhee, Jodelle Ferland, Bernard Hill, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Elaine Stritch, Tempestt Bledsoe, Alex Borstein, and John Goodman star in the 2012 movie.

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.”
