WNUF Halloween Special
Directed by Chris LaMartina
In 1987, a TV news team tried to contact spirits in a haunted house. But something went wrong. Three decades later, the recording of this spooky special has finally surfaced and viewers can now see what really went on that fateful night - complete with commercials! Think GRINDHOUSE meets PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and you’ll know what to expect from this hilarious parody of found footage horror. Anyone who watched ‘80s TV is sure to laugh at the scarily accurate fake ads for video rental stores (remember those?), psychic hotlines and Satanic panic books. Watch if you dare...

The film builds atmosphere and delivers on the 80s vibes, the feel is definitely there. Suffers from essentially being a full length short. Fun albeit a bit boring.
I don't understand the positive reviews for this at all. Did they do a good job on making it LOOK and FEEL like it was from the 80s? 100%! Clearly all their budget went only to that because there was literally less than 10 minutes of anything actually interesting going on. The only thing horror about this is the psychological torture behind being forced to watch old commercials again.
I love falling asleep to this movie—and I mean that in the best way possible. Story aside (it’s fine, just very been-done and predictable at this point), this movie is pure atmosphere. It feels just like watching your local television channel (but without the Ultimate Love Song Collection commercial to wake you up). From the cheesy anchors and pompous reporter who clearly thinks he’s too good for local news, to the overacted Very Special Episode promos and news segments featuring the Local Crazy Lady; it’s a nostalgic, “recovered from the archives”, easy watch.
genuinely sooooo much fun, great vibes. weird that there was so much animal violence when it was completely unnecessary. but awesome, otherwise. awesome background noise if you love VHS vibes!
this was really fun. I wish they would make a sequel l
