From horror series, Freddy’s Nightmares recently added, to cult and modern scare classics, who honestly needs anything more, right? Well, Tubi has been stepping up their game recently even further by adding original programming and in doing so, a remake of a 1980 horror treasure has been announced to premiere this 2022 Halloween season- a Terror Train remake!

The original Jamie Lee Curtis starred ‘whodunit’ slasher revenge fest on a train on New Year’s Eve filled with a bunch of college students has become a beloved horror classic over the years and the 2022 revival is parallral in context; except it is set on Halloween rather than New Year’s Eve.

In the 2022 modern retelling, the official description is as follows: “Alana (Robyn Alomar) and a group of college seniors board a party train for a Halloween-themed bash, but their fun spirals into fear as attendees are killed off one by one by an unknown killer. Concealed by costumes and plagued with chaos, everyone is a suspect. As the party train continues full steam ahead, Alana must race against the rails to find the killer before she becomes the next victim.” 

The cast is steered by Canadian actress Robyn Alomar (“Utopia Falls”), and Tim Rozon (“Schitt’s Creek”). The movie is written by Ian Carpenter along with Aaron Martin (“Slasher”) and is directed by Philippe Gagnon (“Amber Alert”).

“Spirit Halloween” Movie Starring Christopher Lloyd Coming Soon!

Horror and Halloween fanatics long for the days when Spirit Halloween opens its doors signifying the official arrival of the spooky season and now Spirit has one more grand Halloween treat for us to look forward to- A SPIRIT HALLOWEEN MOVIE!

I don’t even care what it’s about. Just put it in my eyeballs right now.

In an exclusive with Variety, the iconic seasonal costume and prop store with 1,425 locations across North America, has teamed with Strike Back Studios, Hideout Pictures and Particular Crowd for a feature-length family movie simply entitled, “Spirit Halloween.”

The premise so far is as follows:

“When a new Spirit Halloween store appears in a deserted strip mall, three middle-school friends who think they’ve outgrown trick-or-treating make a dare to spend the night locked inside the store Halloween night. But they soon find out that the store is haunted by an angry evil spirit who has possessed the creepy animatronic characters. The kids embark on a thrilling and spooky adventure in order to survive the night and avoid becoming possessed themselves.”

With a screenplay by Billie Bates, the movie is billing legendary actor Christopher Lloyd alongside Rachel Leigh Cook as the main stars for the film alongside Donavan Colan, Dylan Frankel, Marissa Reyes, Jaiden Smith, and Marla Gibbs with Director David Poag, making his directorial feature debut.

Filming is reported to have been completed and is eyeing an October 2022 release date.
