FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: 

Kicking off with "Coochie Coochie Coo", written and directed by Anna Zlokovic, we meet two high school trick-or-treaters, dressed as babies, who come face to face with a malevolent spirit known as “The Mommy” an urban legend who supposedly kidnaps children from their homes on the spookiest night of the year.

Next up is Paco Plaza’s "Ut Supra Sic Infra", where Enric, the sole survivor of a Halloween party massacre, accompanies police to the original crime scene to try and help them reconstruct the events of that fateful night. But unbeknownst to them, evil entities await inside.

Halloween candy takes on a new life in Casper Kelly’s "Fun Size", as four friends on the hunt for sweet treats are swallowed up by a candy bowl. They emerge in a parallel reality where sweets rule supreme and humans are turned into sugary snacks.

"Kidprint", from writer-director Alex Ross Perry, takes an even darker turn, feeding into the all too real fear of kidnappings. When disturbing secrets about a local video store that specialises in creating video IDs which can be used to help search for missing children come to light, every parent’s worst fears are about to come true.

A homemade house of horrors comes to life in Micheline Pitt-Norman and R.H. Norman’s "Home Haunt" as a family constructs their annual haunted house for Halloween. But the fun ritual takes a deadly turn when a spooky stolen record makes the decorations come to life, wreaking paranormal havoc on the guests.

Bryan M. Ferguson’s frame narrative "Diet Phantasma" weaves through the feature, with each segment documenting a group of taste trial participants who face life-threatening side effects from a new kind of diet soda.
