'Scare Package' first screened at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain on October 4, 2019, and now Shudder has announced that it has acquired rights to the horror-comedy that premieres on the platform on June 18 in the US, Canada, and the UK. The horror anthology will showcase seven different stories directed by seven directors, and here is what we know of the film's upcoming release.

Release date

'Scare Package' premieres on June 18, 2020.

Plot

The official synopsis reads, "Seven directors. Seven tales of terror. Zero working cell phones. 'Scare Package' is a meta horror-comedy anthology film where a director has selected a different horror sub-genre to showcase in a world where cell phones magically stop working and help is always a minute too late. In Scare Package, Chad, the owner of Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium, recounts a series of bone-chilling, blood-splattered tales to illustrate the rules of the horror genre to his newest employee. Each story takes aim at different tropes, paying homage to and subverting the timeless clichés of the beloved genre."
