Popcorn Frights Film Festival's annual Wicked Weekend event returns to Fort Lauderdale's historic Gateway Theater from September 25 – 28, with today revealing six features playing in celebration of the upcoming creepy season.

Opening the weekend is Sisu: Road to Revenge, the high-octane sequel to 2022's Sisu from director Jalmari Helander. Stephen Lang stars as a ruthless Red Army commander on the hunt for “the man who refuses to die”, Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila).

Headlining the Wicked Weekend is NEON's Shelby Oaks, the found-footage debut from YouTuber Chris Stuckmann, that follows a woman searching for her sister who ominously disappeared in the last tape of her investigative series, ‘Paranormal Paranoids’.

Next on the lineup is Vicious, from The Strangers director Bryan Bertino, which stars Dakota Fanning as a woman in possession of a mysterious box that triggers a chilling ritual demanding a sacrifice of love, hate, and need.

Johnny Ryan and Todd Rohal's Fuck My Son brings the grotesqueries to Wicked Weekend (as you can probably guess by the name), a twisted kidnapping saga which Popcorn Frights describes as nauseating, hilarious, and horrifying.

Also playing is Mercedes Bryce Morgan's erotic thriller Bone Lake, which follows a couple’s romantic vacation at a secluded lakeside estate which is upended when they are forced to share the mansion with a mysterious and attractive couple.

Rounding out the program is Shudder's V/H/S/HALLOWEEN, the latest in the found-footage anthology series that features new shorts from Bryan M. Ferguson (Pumpkin Guts) Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks, Adult Swim Yule Log), Micheline Pitt-Norman & R.H. Norman (Cosmetic), Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell, Queen of Earth), Paco Plaza (REC, Verónica) and Anna Zlokovic (Appendage).
