Veterans of the HOWLING and HALLOWEEN films take part in a trip to CAMP COLD BROOK, which has now been dated and trailered.

Shout! Studios has announced that CAMP COLD BROOK will open in select theaters and hit VOD and digital platforms February 14. Horror vet Joe Dante was among the executive producers, and Andy Palmer directed from a script by Alex Carl; the cast is headed by Chad Michael Murray (RIVERDALE, HOUSE OF WAX), HALLOWEEN franchise regular Danielle Harris, Michael Eric Reid, Courtney Gains (CHILDREN OF THE CORN) and Candice De Visser. The synopsis: “Reality TV producer and host Jack Wilson [Murray] finds himself in a tough spot when his show HAUNT SQUAD is about to be cancelled. In a last-ditch effort to spark ratings, he and his producer Angela [Harris] choose to film their next episode at the legendary Camp Cold Brook, which was host to a horrific incident when the young campers were drowned in a nearby creek 20 years ago. Their arrival begins like any other episode…but when this remote, backwoods camp begins to reveal its secrets, the TV crew find that they’ve gotten more than they bargained for.”
