"There's something trying to get me... three of them, actually." The atmospheric trailer for The Night Sitter headlines today's Horror Highlights, which also includes a look at Terror Threads' new apparel featuring filmmakers Jen and Sylvia Soska, as well as preview pages from the first issue of Mike Mignola's new Hellboy comic book miniseries, Koshchei the Deathless.

The Night Sitter Trailer: "A scheming con artist (Elyse DuFour, AMC's The Walking Dead) poses as innocent babysitter "Amber" to steal from Ted Hooper, a wealthy occult enthusiast with a reclusive son named Kevin. Her crew arrives to clean out the house just as Kevin stumbles upon one of his father's most prized artifacts and unwittingly summons a trio of witches known as The Three Mothers. As the playful, sadistic witches start picking people off, Amber and Kevin form an unlikely bond and try to survive the night together."

Written and directed by Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco, and executive produced by Jeffrey Reddick, The Night Sitter stars Elyse DuFour, Jack Champion, and Jermaine Rivers.
