Viewers can now experience Devil's Night on iTunes, and we've been provided with a new clip to share with Daily Dead readers in today's Horror Highlights, which also includes VOD info on The Honor Farm and trailers for the apocalyptic thriller Hostile, the Instagram series Bunker 15, and the short film Miscast (screening soon at Shriekfest).

Devil's Night Clip & Trailer: Press Release: "Los Angeles, CA - Harm's Way Productions has unleashed Devil's Night on iTunes. Adam Forrest, Elizabeth Peterson, Alex Ho, Nolan Freeman, Kristina Cohen, Shani Atias and Kevin Grossman star in the story of a lonely teen who accidentally unlocks a gate to Hell in the quest for Internet stardom. Directed by TV veteran Todd Bishop from a script by Derek Rethwisch, Devil's Night is available today exclusively on iTunes with a new clip that shows the dangers lurking in the dark.

On the eve of the release, writer/producer Derek Rethwisch said, "When we were writing Devil's Night, our goal was to create a suspenseful, character-driven horror that would not only give audiences a few good scares, but would be relevant to them today. We were all fans of horror growing up and really aspired to make a movie in the vein of Halloween or Friday the 13th, and Devil's Night (October 30th) seemed like a natural fit. Evan Lesky is our Michael Myers, but we wanted a 21st-century protagonist, someone desperate to make it in today's viral-obsessed society. We hope that Devil's Night is both an homage to those iconic movies but also unique in its portrayal of modern life."

Daniel, a charismatic teen from a broken home, wants nothing more than to get out of the trailer park. After scraping together just enough money to buy a video camera, he begins making YouTube videos in the hope that his antics will lead him to a better life. But when his videos fail to catch on and all his friends leave for college, Daniel's left all alone. Undeterred, he discovers an old documentary about a serial killer who brutally murdered seven people in a Satanic sacrifice not too far from his hometown. Thinking this might be his last chance for success, he decides to film a video in the killer's house, only to summon an evil worse than anything he could have possibly imagined..."

Horror Comedy Short Film Miscast: Press Release: "LOS ANGELES – An innocent young woman unwittingly helps a witch cast a bloody spell at their office Halloween party in the new horror comedy short film MISCAST. Continuing on its successful festival run, the film heads to the respected horror-focused SHRIEKFEST on October 8th before launching wide online October 31st on Vimeo.

Notable stand-up comedian and actress Nina Daniels (Pariah, Maron) stars and produced this deadly witchcraft tale, which comes from established editor-turned-director Carsten Kurpanek and rising screenwriter Matt Katzenberger (Final Draft Big Break 2017 Finalist). The film also stars actress Brea Bee (Silver Linings Playbook) and young actor Kade Pait; and has proven an audience favorite since first premiering at Dances With Films and screening at HollyShorts

MISCAST tells the story of office worker May (Daniels) caught in a battle between good and evil when her new co-worker (Bee) reveals herself as a real witch after turning their office Halloween party into a bloodbath with a deadly spell.

Daniels shares, "The project came about due to a chance meeting between myself and Matt (Katzenberger). He offered to write something for me and Miscast is the result of that elevator ride."

The film delivers a deadly clash, sprinkled with gore, humor, and magic, while presenting ‘miscast’ themes: feelings of not fitting in, the difficulty of finding true friendship, empathy vs. selfishness, what it means to be good, bad, and all the grey areas in between.
