To co-inside with Dread’s next release, The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw, we’re dedicated this #MonthOfDread to witches! And besides, witches are synonymous with the Halloween season, making the timing more than perfect. Give the trailer and synopsis for The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw below.
Synopsis:
Set against the autumnal palette of harvest season in 1973, The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw explores the disturbed bond between Audrey, an enigmatic young woman, and Agatha, her domineering ‘mother’, who live secretly as occultists on the outskirts of a remote Protestant village. As the community is besieged by a pestilence of unknown origin: children, fields, and livestock begin to die — yet the Earnshaw farm remains strangely unaffected. As mass hysteria sets in the village, the townsfolk commence accusations against Audrey and Agatha of witchcraft.
Look for the horror-western The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw when it hits limited theaters on October 2nd before a VOD release on October 6th.
Ask yourself: Are you a horror fan who lives every day like it’s Halloween? Do you have the gumption and the stamina to consume a new horror movie every day for an entire year? If so, feast your eyes on October’s 31-day horror challenge below. Let us know you’re participating by using the hashtag #YearOfDread2020 on Social Media!
