Satan’s Little Helper

Satan’s Little Helper is a 2004 black comedy Halloween horror film about a young boy who unwittingly goes trick or treating with a brutal serial killer wearing a Devil mask on Halloween Night.

The official synopsis: Nine-year-old Douglas Whooly (Alexander Brickel) is obsessed with the handheld video game “Satan’s Little Helper,” and annoyed that the attention of his big sister Jenna (Katheryn Winnick) is being distracted by her new boyfriend Alex (Stephen Graham). These two concerns collide on Halloween, when Douglas witnesses a serial killer in a devil mask (Joshua Annex) posing his victims like outdoor All Hallow’s Eve displays. Not comprehending how real the carnage is, Douglas becomes this Satan’s little helper—and that’s very bad news for Alex, for Douglas and Jenna’s mom Merrill (Amanda Plummer), and ultimately for their entire town.

The film is written and directed by Jeff Lieberman.

Satan’s Little Helper premiered on May 6, 2004 at the Tribeca Film Festival.
