‘Founders Day’ Trailer: Elections Get Deadly In New Slasher From The Bloomquist Brothers

Founders Day

2024 is an election year and by the looks of it, it’s going to be a wild one. So why not start the year with one helluva election horror film from Erik and Carson Bloomquist? The horror-making duo’s latest is Founders Day, directed by Erik and written by both Erik and Carson. Their political slasher takes a gavel to the heads of all in their way. No, literally, they smash heads with a gavel.

Read the full synopsis below:

In this bold political slasher from the Bloomquist Brothers, a small town is shaken by a series of ominous killings in the days leading up to a heated mayoral election. As accusations fly and the threat of a masked killer darkens every street corner, the residents must race to uncover the truth before fear consumes the town.

Now, watch the official trailer:

Dread Central’s Tyler Doupé saw Founders Day as part of this year’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival. In his review, he said, “The Bloomquist siblings have, once again, delivered a slasher film that shows love for the genre whilst taking a fresh and unexpected approach that kept me guessing.”
