As Halloween day gets closer, distribution companies are getting ready for their horror films for the special season. Two of these films have already been released digitally in the last weeks. Let’s take a look at them.
In Bad Candy (2020), Halloween DJs Chilly Billy and Paul spin a bloody and twisted version of this small town’s craziest Halloween Happenings.
DJ Chilly Billy is played by the metal musician of Slipknot and Stone Sour fame Corey Taylor, a big horror fan that has already appeared in some horror films and documentaries, and his partner is performed by Zach Galligan, a former kid-actor who starred in classic 1980s films like Gremlins (1984) and Waxwork (1988). Together with them, Michael Aaron Milligan, Derek Russo, Kevin Wayne, Kenneth Trujillo, Haley Leary, and Alexandra Lucchesi complete the main cast.
Bad Candy (2020) has been part of Grimmfest International Festival of Fantastic Film, Soho Horror Film Festival, and Stranger Days Independent Film Festival. It was out on digital on September 14, 2021, and will finally come out on Blu-ray on October 12, 2021. Here you can watch its official trailer.
On the other side, in The Demented (2021), for one female entity time stands still, while for another time travels back and forth between the plains of the supernatural and the earthly horrors of exploitation and murder.
This is the new movie for the producer, writer, and director Nigel Hartwell after titles like Insight of Evil (2004) and Dead by Dawn (2009). Felissa Rose, the star in Sleepaway Camp (1983), is the main attraction of the film that is also starring Ari Lehman, Bret Hart, Barry J. Gillis, Angel Williams, and Dakota House.
The Demented (2021) came out on digital on August Friday the 13th, 2021. Here you can watch its trailer.
