SCARE PACKAGE (2019) Anthology Film Trailer, Poster and Stills

Seven directors. Seven tales of terror. Zero working cell phones. SCARE PACKAGE is a meta horror comedy anthology film coming to Shudder on June 18. Each director has selected a different horror sub-genre and takes aim at the tropes and overused clichés that we find all too often in our favorite horror films to showcase a world where cell phones magically stop working and help is always a minute too late. I love anthology horror films and one story takes place with babysitters on Halloween, will definitely check this out.

Directed by Emily Hagins, Chris McInroy, Hilary & Courtney Andujar, Noah Segan, Baron Vaughn, Anthony Cousins & Aaron B. Koontz. Produced by Austin-based boutique genre production company Paper Street Pictures. Starring: Noah Segan (KNIVES OUT), Baron Vaughn (MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3K) Chase Williamson (BEYOND THE GATES), Jocelyn DeBoer (GREENER GRASS), Jeremy King (CAMERA OBSCURA), Dustin Rhodes (WWE Legend), Zoe Graham (BOYHOOD), Hawn Tran (THE WATCHMEN), Kirk Johnson (LAZER TEAM), Chelsey Grant, Jon Michael Simpson, Josephine McAdam and more.

I missed the Twitter watch party on Saturday but I loved seeing all the Halloween (2018) behind the scenes photos and videos from #HalloweenAtHome so I made some gifs:

"The title sequence was filmed practically. No VFX. Thanks, Richard Wright (Production Designer) and Art Department." - David Gordon Green:

The working/production title on set was "Uncle Orange":

"Haddonfield cemetery ... (David Gordon Green) doing some location scouting with a temporary Judith Myers grave." - Ryan Turek

James Jude Courtney as The Shape "I should clarify that the pic involving the ‘78 mask was just for reference because we didn’t have the new mask on hand for Jim’s fitting!". - Ryan Turek

Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) creepy eye:

Michael Myers unmasked:

Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney:

Makeup effects artist Christopher Allen Nelson prepping Nick Castle for his scene as The Shape. "My boy @ncastlez in the window, me in the mirror. We shared this scene, it was the passing of the torch" - James Jude Cortney:

Christopher Allen Nelson and co-producer Ryan Turek:

It was actually Christopher Allen Nelson dressed as The Shape (pictured below with Key Makeup Effects Artist Kevin Wasner) attacking Laurie through her front door when she shoots two of his fingers off, because Courtney was busy at the time prepping for another scene.

James Jude Courtney missing two fingers:

"I promised the crew if the movie made $100m I would get this (10 - 31 - 18) tattoo (just like Miles Robbins "Dave" in the movie). I got it on that date, also my father's 80th birthday. Thanks everyone for making it happen!" - David Gordon Green
