Halloween Candy

The film is presented as an anthology of five films built into a narrative, which acts as its sixth film. Themed around Halloween, each short is linked together with the concept of footage as every segment is from various VHS tapes that depict different scenarios of horror stories. "Diet Phantasma" (frame narrative) — Prologue[edit] Directed and Written by Bryan M. Ferguson The frame narrative focuses on the documentary experiment scene in 1982. The Octagon Company is planning to launch a new soda called "Diet Phantasma". They bring in multiple test subjects to try the formula before the beverage is put on shelves. The COO of the company, Dr Rothschild, is also brought in to view the subject reviews. However, the subjects are unaware that the soda is made with the extract of vicious poltergeists. The first subject, a man designated 37, tries it; he soon begins to bleed from his eyes and face. The can then busts tendrils everywhere which attach to his face, tearing off the subjects jaw. The body and the room are then cleaned up for the next subjects. "Coochie Coochie Coo"[edit] Directed and Written by Anna Zlokovic Lacie and Kaleigh are high school students that decide to go out for one last night of trick-or-treating. They come across a trio of boys who tell them that "The Mommy" will get them because they are too old for trick-or-treating. The girls continue onward and begin to ruin other trick or treater's nights by stealing their candy. Kaleigh mentions to Lacie that a girl their age dressed as a cheerleader disappeared last year, but Lacie ignores it. They soon come across a house that appears out of nowhere and is disregarded by other trick or treaters. They knock on the door and go inside, but discover that they are trapped by the Mommy who leaves behind squirming fetuses and trails of milk. Lacie and Kaleigh come across three other individuals including the cheerleader. They all have infantile faces and act like babies. They also learn that the Mommy was once a woman who became pregnant as a result of rape. This woman hanged herself while pregnant to escape motherhood and now beckons victims into being her children. After breaking her ribs, the Mommy makes Lacie fall asleep with a lullaby and drags her away into the basement. Kaleigh chases after her and discovers that The Mommy has already converted Lacie into one of her children. Resigned to her fate, Kaleigh lies down with the other victims as the Mommy sings her lullaby again. After finishing her song, the Mommy despairingly laughs as the footage ends. "Diet Phantasma" — First interlude[edit] Two new subjects, a man and woman known as 38 and 39, are brought in. The test does not go well; 38’s can sprays acid in his face, causing it to swell and the skin on his hands to tear off. 39's can moves toward her as the tab flies off, enters her mouth, and exits through her throat, killing her. "Ut Supra Sic Infra"[edit] Directed by Paco Plaza Written by Paco Plaza and Alberto Marini An abandoned mansion in Madrid, allegedly home to a famous Italian medium in the past, is the scene of a bizarre mass murder during a Halloween party, in which all of the victims' eyeballs were removed and are nowhere to be found. Enric, the only survivor, is questioned by police. The questioning is intercut with film of the party Enric attended. The film shows Enric and several of his friends entering the house and coming across an unconnected telephone in the center of the room, the walls covered in occult phrases and hieroglyphs. Enric discovers writing on the wall which says "Ut Supra Sic Infra" ("As Above, So Below") and reads it out loud three times. The phone rings and Enric answers it. He begins to convulse as the feed cuts out. The investigators take Enric back to the house for a crime reconstruction. He is reluctant to re-enter the room, but the psychiatrist attending tells him that it is all in his head. They enter the cupola and Enric repeats the phrase, causing the phone to ring again. A police officer picks up the phone and hears nothing, but Enric once again convulses, possessed by some unknown force, then vomits the eyeballs of his friends before sending everyone in the room towards the ceiling, where they land on a pentagram. Enric enters through a door on ground level and comes out of a door above, walking upside down on the ceiling. Enric then proceeds to pull everyone's eyeballs out of their heads before disappearing and returning gravity to normal, dropping their bodies back onto the floor as the footage ends. "Diet Phantasma" — Second interlude[edit] A young woman, Subject 40, is next. She takes a sip of her Diet Phantasma and claims that it smells awful, but tastes good. When instructed to drink the whole can, the poltergeist inside causes the subject's hands to break and twist before she vomits a black substance onto the table. Subject 40, now possessed, is able to see through the observation mirror, which she uses to interact with the scientists. The …
