With the autumnal movie now on VOD and in select theaters from Red Hound Films, we caught up with writer/director Jay Dahl in a new Q&a feature to discuss his latest film's eclectic influences, which range from Scream to Gilmore Girls.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us, Jay, and congratulations on your new movie Halloween Party! How and when did you first come up with the idea for this film?

The film before this was a weird, dark, apocalyptic horror (There Are Monsters), and so I really wanted to switch gears and do something more fun, something reminiscent of those great, scary, dumb date movies of the 1990s. Halloween Party is that: a loose homage to those...

Jay Dahl, writer and director of There Are Monsters, is back after a five-year break from the genre with his latest film Halloween Party, an apparent love-letter to the horror films of the 90s and all the baggage associated with the films of the time.
