Halloween at Aunt Ethel's is a Horror Comedy film by Joseph Mazzaferro.
In a small American town, there lives an old lady everyone refers to as "Aunt Ethel". She got that name because, 20 years ago, completely out of nowhere, she just killed her whole family, and the people heard voices in her house shouting things like "No, Aunt Ethel!". Ever since then, all kinds of stories about her have spread around. People say she lures children into her house with an offer of "special candy", and once inside, they believe she kills them and either makes their corpses into said special candy, or burns them behind her barn.
Two teenage girls, Melissa (Madeline Murphy) and Mandy (Stephanie Town), grew up in the neighbourhood, and are no strangers to the stories. One Halloween, they, along with the boyfriend of one of them, Mark (Sean Michael Gloria), decide to have a stakeout at her house to determine whether or not the rumors are really true.
The film was released on January 2nd, 2019.
