Tales of Halloween is a collection of 10 short films from 11 different directors that intersect on the same Halloween night in the same town.

The directors include Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones, The Descent, Doomsday), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw 2-4, The Devil’s Carnival), Lucky McCee (The Woman, All Cheerleaders Must Die), Mike Mendez (Big Ass Spider, Gravedancers), Adam Gierasch (Night of the Demons). Paul Solet (Grace), Dave Parker (The Hills Run Red), Ryan Schifrin (Abominable), the team of Andrew Kasch and John Skipp (Never Sleep Again), and Axelle Carolyn (The Halloween Kid), whose initial idea it was to assemble this group now known as The October Society for the project.
