New slasher trailer drops
A new slasher called Happy Halloween released a trailer this week and is set to stream on digital platforms April 14, following a story about a prank gone wrong and ensuing masked killings. If you like small‑town social‑media horror and teen‑drama slasher beats, this is one to queue. (x.com, x.com)
The film is written and directed by Brittney Greer and stars Emma Reinagel as Hadley, with Aline O’Neill, Cameron Mabie, Graham Weldin and Jack Cathcart in supporting roles.

(youtube.com) Happy Halloween opened on the festival circuit at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest — the UK event run by FrightFest that programs genre premieres — and later took Best Feature at the Berryville Film Festival. (thehollywoodnews.com) (arkansascinemasociety.org) The trailer emphasizes a modern twist on slasher convention: the killer streams murders live on social platforms and leaves holiday-themed “decorations” on victims, while suspicion falls across a tight-knit town and the protagonist must confront who’s being framed. (horrorfuel.com) (thehollywoodnews.com) The movie was shot on location in the Ozarks, runs about 1 hour 36 minutes and 43 seconds, and represents Brittney Greer’s feature directorial debut — meaning it’s her first full-length narrative film after work on shorts and a web series.
