We’re bringing all the tricks and treats with Creeping Death, having acquired the Halloween-themed slasher with plans to release the film this fall across all platforms, including our Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX streaming service.
The news was first reported by our friends at Fangoria today.
In the film, “While trying to enjoy a peaceful Halloween with his mother Linda Garner (Monique Parent; That’s a Wrap), Tim is paid a visit by his rambunctious, up-for-anything friends. After reluctantly letting them inside the house he becomes intertwined with the circumstances of their Halloween prankings. One that turns out has broken a sacred tradition kept between humans and otherworldly deities known as the Aos Si.”
Creeping Death is described as a callback to terrors birthed in the mythology, lore and atmospheric dread behind the Halloween traditions based in an ancient Celtic past.
“Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved slasher films and celebrating Halloween,” says director Matt Sampere. “I knew I wanted to dive into the holiday’s lore for my first feature and that’s how I learned about the Aos Si — vengeful spirits related to trick or treating in Celtic mythology. Creeping Death is the first supernatural slasher to incorporate this deity. I hope viewers enjoy my love letter to Halloween, its traditions and a warning to those who trick.”
Sampere also stars in the film with Monique Parent, Alan Maxson, Delian Lincourt, Hunter Kohl, Ian Brown, Elise Rackemann, K Cody Hunt, Andy Horowitz, Jody Pucello and Scott Lea.
Creeping Death had its World Premiere at the prestigious FrightFest Film Festival in London.
Sampere produced alongside Jason Scott Goldberg (Glorious), Erika McGowan, Brenda Block, and Tyler Dane Sutton.
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Director of Acquisitions, on behalf of Cineverse, and Jason Scott Goldberg, on behalf of the film.
