Halloween Cult Movie ‘Self-Help’ Drops New Trailer Ahead of October 31 Release

The new independent Halloween-set horror movie Self-Help has a new trailer and an official Halloween release date.

From one of our favorite sibling filmmaking teams, director/co-writer Erik and co-writer Carson Bloomquist (Ten Minutes to Midnight, She Came From the Woods, Founders Day), in Self-Help, “a young woman infiltrates a dangerous self-actualization community after her mother becomes entangled with its enigmatic leader.”

The cast includes Jake Weber (Medium, Dawn of the Dead), Landry Bender (Looking for Alaska, The Sitter), Madison Lintz (Bosch, The Walking Dead), Amy Hargreaves (Homeland, 13 Reasons Why), Blaque Fowler (Halloween Ends), Erik Bloomquist (Founders Day), Adam Weppler (The Four Seasons), and Carol Cadby (Radium Girls).

The film is written and produced by Erik Bloomquist and Carson Bloomquist, with Erik directing.

Self-Help is set for a nationwide theatrical release on Halloween,October 31, with “Mischief Night Sneak Previews” on October 30, ahead of an expected digital release in early 2026.
