The clock strikes midnight and the ghosts and ghouls are ready to tune into the annual Monster Marathon hosted by our resident Queens of Screams... Malvolia. Get ready for four all-new creepy and bizarre tales from some of the spookiest indie directors walking among the living. A cursed VHS tape finds itself in the hands of curious friends in “EjecDEAD” (Taylor & Matthew McManus of the ‘Slash-O-Lantern’ series), next a disgruntled candy maker has a diabolical plan for revenge in “Haig’s Heart” (Dylan R. Nix of ‘Demon of Serling’), then a group of contest winners get more than they bargained for in a haunted house in “The Witch’s Curse” (Dustin Ferguson of ‘Apex Preadator’) and finally a scary attraction employee becomes something really scary after being bitten by a werewolf in “Moonlight Massacre” (Ryan Sheets of ‘The Pumpkin Man’). Including coming attraction trailers from “Gravestalkers” (Zane Hershberger), and ”Shotgun Hooker” (Josh Graves of ‘Late Checkout’).

EjecDEAD's VHS decay effects slapping harder than most studio horror.
Costume
Malvolia's hosting lewks deserve their own spin-off fashion critique show.
Direction
Four distinct voices somehow unified by pure Halloween energy.
Director
Taylor McManus
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The McManus brothers previously directed Slash-O-Lantern, making EjecDEAD their second Halloween anthology contribution in three years.
Malvolia continues the lineage of horror hosts like Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs, but with distinctly 2020s internet-era camp sensibilities.
