Rated R for violence/gore, some sexual content, and language, the fun little flick takes place on the afternoon of Halloween when Douglas Whooly dons his costume in expectation of a fun-filled night. But, when he hears that his beloved sister, Jenna, has found herself a boyfriend, he throws a tantrum and flees the house. Douglas befriends a man in a devil costume and helps him decorate his lawn with fake corpses. Unfortunately for Douglas and his family, the corpses — much like the murders that will punctuate the evening to come — are all too real.
It’s written and directed by Lieberman who also produced with Mickey McDonough, Isen Robbins, and Aimee Schoof. Universal unleashed the flick on the Tribeca Film Festival on May 6, 2004.
