In this week’s horror doubleheader, we talk about the Shudder anthology horror film “Scare Package” and its sequel with guest Onika J.

Our series on horror sequels comes to a close with a walk down the video aisles at Rad Chad’s Horror Emporium! Onika J returns to the show to discuss these two great anthology films.

Scare Package is a 2020 American anthology horror comedy film created by Aaron B. Koontz and Cameron Burns. Released on Shudder on June 18, 2020, it features a series of horror shorts written and directed by Aaron B. Koontz, Courtney Andujar, Hillary Andujar, Anthony Cousins, Emily Hagins, Chris McInroy, Noah Segan, and Baron Vaughn. The film is presented as an anthology of short horror films built into a frame narrative which acts as its own horror film.

The frame narrative focuses on Chad Buckley, a horror aficionado who runs a struggling video store. He takes on a new hire, much to the chagrin of an obnoxious regular customer named Sam who has been trying to persuade Chad to hire him for years. The shorts are films that are either described to other characters or viewed as one of the video rentals offered at the store.

A sequel to the film was announced in late 2021. Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge was released on Shudder in December 2022.
