Chris LaMartina and Jimmy George’s perennial indie horror favorite WNUF Halloween Special and its recent sequel, Out There Halloween Mega Tape, are about to expand into a cinematic universe with a sequel and a spin-off.
At the recent Hometown Horror and Hops convention in Plymouth, MA, WNUF Halloween Special and Out There Halloween Mega Tape writer-director Chris LaMartina gave Bloody Disgusting an exclusive scoop on the upcoming WNUF projects and more.
Up first is a spin-off entitled Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond.
LaMartina previews, “We’re almost wrapped production on Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond, a WNUF spin-off starring George Stover who is reprising his role as B-movie star Reed Richmond from Out There Halloween Mega Tape.
“I’ve joked that if the plan is to make WNUF a true trilogy, Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond is my Ewok Adventure. It’s this weird little standalone project that’s not really a movie; it’s an honest-to-God one-hour special that you might find on the History Channel or Sci-Fi Channel back in the ’90s. It covers the origins of Halloween and the folklore behind iconic monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolves, witches, and mummies.
“It’s very bizarre and I’m not sure folks will like it, but that’s how I felt when I created the original WNUF, so who knows. The movies just keep getting weirder, but I figure if I’m having this much fun making it, then we’ll find the audience it was meant for.”
