Special delivery! The first trailer for horror anthology “Scare Package” has been officially released. Seven directors each tell a different tale, paying homage to several horror classics. The meta, sub-genre explorative stories are all tied together by Chad, owner of Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium. Each episode explores a cardinal rule of horror and subsequently exploits classic genre tropes. Hitchhikers, stalkers, and monsters oh my! Expect to see a car engine not start, someone go somewhere they shouldn’t by themselves, and elaborate, unrealistic, yet ultra-satisfying deaths. We can’t wait!

 

Scare Package Poster

Synopsis: Chad Buckley is a horror aficionado, and he’s lonely. Chad spends his days at his struggling genre video store arguing with his only regular customer, Sam. When an unsuspecting applicant shows up, Chad begins to teach him about the rules of horror and his video store at large, much to the chagrin of Sam. During Chad’s on-boarding process, we weave in and out of different hilarious horror shorts, each one geared at a different set of horror tropes. As this new applicant learns the ropes, he begins to suspect Chad of something sinister, but we quickly learn that he may have a secret of his own.

SCARE PACKAGE - Horror/Comedy Anthology - Official Trailer
Who doesn’t love a good horror anthology? Creepshow, Tales From the Crypt, and Twilight Zone are all examples of previous anthologies that are universally loved. Scare Package seems to have all those elements necessary for horror anthology success. Classic horror topics, a sort of host to tie the anthology together, and a little cheeky meta-humor. Throw in some well-placed screams and a few buckets of blood and we have quite the entertaining program on our hands!

Scare Package stars Noah Segan (Knives Out), Baron Vaughn (Mystery Science Theater 3000), Chase Williamson (Beyond the Gates), Jocelyn DeBoer (Greener Grass), Jeremy King (Camera Obscura, and Dustin Rhodes (WWE Legend). Release information has yet to be revealed for this devilishly delightful series. But you can bet we will be screaming all about it.
