Final Girl: Halloween Trailer
Horror fans in Reno rejoice! Final Girl: Halloween, the first film in a brand new slasher franchise, has been released on various streaming platforms, including Tubi.
Final Girl: Halloween, written by MJ Palo and Zach Jansen and filmed in Reno, tells the story of Erin Severson, a high school student who becomes the sole survivor of a brutal murder spree by the legendary slasher killer, Johnny Baxter. As Erin grapples with the trauma and tries to rebuild her life, the killer returns, targeting her and her friends. A race against time ensues as Erin, the police, and her friends try to unmask the killer and prevent another massacre.
Featuring local Reno actors Jasmeet Baduwalia (known for Power Rangers Beast Morphers and Carp-e Diem), Krystal Lynn (Target List), and Wendy Feign (Porky's Revenge), Final Girl: Halloween is a proper homegrown production. Local filmmakers MJ Palo and Andrew Arguello directed the film, which uses recognizable Reno landmarks like Damonte Ranch High School and UNR's Redfield Campus as backdrops for the chilling events.
This is the third feature film for Mad Wife Productions, a Reno-based production company founded by Arguello and Palo in 2020. Specializing in high-quality storytelling, Mad Wife Productions boasts an impressive track record. Their previous films, Carp-e Diem and Target List are also available on Tubi.
With Final Girl: Halloween receiving its release, excitement is building for the second installment in the franchise, which is currently in development. Stay tuned for updates on this thrilling new slasher series!
