For everyone in the haunt world, you know Midnight Syndicate. If you’ve been following along with us, you know we love them. They’ve been on our podcast, and have been on the others that I have hosted over the years. We consider them friends, and are really excited to see their new film (which they’ve been talking about for a few years now) finally get a release. I know from a fan standpoint, Halloween wouldn’t be the same without them. Now we get to see a killer horror flick that should become at the very least, a cult classic.

It’s a mix of classic horror themes with modern twists and a touch of dark humor that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
