Description

A joyous horror variation on Scorsese's AFTER HOURS, SCARY MOVIE stars Academy Award© nominee John Hawkes (WINTER'S BONE) in one of his earliest roles. On Halloween night, the nerdy Warren (Hawkes, channeling Buster Keaton and Crispin Glover) attends a haunted attraction in a small Texas town. But is the haunted house as harmless as it seems, or has a psychotic killer found fresh meat? A passion project that was filmed in Austin, Texas by director Daniel Erickson, SCARY MOVIE combines Argento-esque neon, Freddy Krueger dreamscapes, and slapstick inspired by EVIL DEAD 2 to forge a valentine to the Halloween season, rubber monster masks, and chopped-off limbs.

    No the OTHER Scary Movie

    Had a ton of fun with this one! It was my 68th, and final horror movie watch for October 2026. First time watch and couldn’t have picked a better movie to end the month with.

    More laughs than i expected, tons of awkward tension, and a run time that made it all work.

    NOT the Wayne's brothers!

    Absolutely worth adding to an AGFA or Vinegar Syndrome collection. Particularly recommended for fans of Evil Dead 2, A Nightmare on Elm Street, haunted-house attractions and obscure Halloween movies.

    One of those releases that reminds you why discovering forgotten horror films is such a rewarding hobby.

    Regional Halloween Haunt

    One of my favourite partner releases. My review from Letterboxd.

    I had a lot of fun with this regional horror film set at a haunted house attraction.

    It definitely won't work for everyone, but I guess was in the perfect mood last night, lying on the couch, overstuffed with turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.

    John Hawkes, early in his career, plays the lead as a young man who is frightened by everything. The dialog is kept to a minimum, almost playing like a silent film at times and it all wraps up perfectly with an entertaining twist at the end.

    Again, I could see this being boring for many, but I really enjoyed watching Hawkes run in fear past all the old school decorations, costumes, and fog filled sets lit with neon lighting.

    As for the disc, love the included shorts and the artwork is one of the best I own. Grab this!
