PRE-ORDER NOW! ESTIMATED SHIP DATE: AUGUST 2025
NOTE: Any orders containing Treat or Treat with Reed Richmond will ship in August, so if you want your other stuff sooner, do a separate order!
Join cult icon Reed Richmond (star of beloved b-movies like “Hell Ninja 4” & “Beverly Hills Graverobber”) on a jack-o-lantern–lit journey through history and mystery as he explores the origins of Halloween and the most memorable monsters it celebrates.
From witches and werewolves to vampires, mummies, and more—Reed and his ghoulish guests unearth the terrifying truth and fearful folklore behind our wildest nightmares in this eerie hour-long special.
Initially aired on the now-defunct Monster Planet channel in October 1995, “Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond” is a spine-tingling time capsule of basic cable creepiness produced just a year before Richmond’s participation in the ACE Network’s controversial “Out There: Alien Expose” program.
And now it's finally available on physical media for the first time ever! Daisy Hemlock and the Center for Lost Media tracked down a copy through the notorious bootleg catalog operation Trader Tony’s Tape Dungeon and labored through years of litigation with Monster Planet’s current rights holders to secure this release, which is proudly presented with the original commercials from its only known broadcast.
BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE:
Audio Commentary with Head Archivist Chris LaMartina
Audio Commentary with Reed Richmond Historian George Stover
Select excerpts from Trader Tony’s Twisted Trailers
“Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond” Bloopers / Outtakes
PLUS! For this release, every dvd will come with a commemorative re-printed October 1995 issue of WHAT’S YOUR DAMAGE?
Long before she started the Center for Lost Media, Daisy Hemlock was the bright-eyed and neon-haired punk publisher of an oddball underground zine.
This Halloween-themed issue features a rare Reed Richmond interview as well as other frightful features like the tale of a haunted dive bar, a guide to spinning spooky novelty records, and a scene report from the witch city of Salem, Massachusetts.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE WNUF HALLOWEEN SEQUEL AT MIDSUMMER SCREAM:
It’s Halloween in your VCR.
Friday, July 29th. We're celebrating Halloween early with a sneak preview of THE WNUF HALLOWEEN SEQUEL at Midsummer Scream.
For the uninitiated: The WNUF Halloween Special is a low-budget love letter to local television and everyone’s favorite spooky holiday, presented as a faux 1987 TV broadcast complete with commercials.
Now we’re fast-forwarding to the 1990s for a new nostalgic nightmare full of over-the-top October kitsch. Fill your plastic pumpkin with trash TV spooktaculars and all the kooky, cringey commercials you can cram on a VHS tape.
Join the Void as we co-present this highly anticipated sequel with a pre-screening mixer featuring cocktails, spooky visuals, and music along with a post-film Q&A with filmmaker Chris LaMartina and star/co-producer Melissa LaMartina.
Chris LaMartina Director/Writer/Producer of WNUF Halloween Special (2013), Call Girl of Cthulhu, & more, posted on his Twitter a teaser trailer for his upcoming film WNUF Halloween Sequel (2022) watch in the embedded Tweet below. LaMartina mentioned in an earlier tweet the sequel is releasing this Halloween season.
You can watch the original WNUF Halloween Special (2013)here, it's presented by Chris LaMatina's wife horror host Aurora Gorealis from the Shocktail Hour facebook page. I love it and ordered a DVD from the sequel's GoFundMe campaign four years ago. Hopefully I get it this autumn just in time for Halloween.
Trick or treat, weirdos.
Proud to unveil the WNUF Halloween Sequel teaser today.
