Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bathroom…

We’ve got the first look at the wild trailer for the Canadian horror/comedy SCARED SHITLESS, coming to U.S. theaters and digital platforms October 3 from Blue Fox Entertainment. Winner of multiple awards from various international film festivals, it was directed by Vivieno Caldinelli from a script by Brandon Cohen, and stars Steven Ogg, Daniel Doheny, Chelsea Clark, Mark McKinney and Marcia Bennett. Steven Kostanski (THE VOID, FRANKIE FREAKO, DEATHSTALKER) designed the creature effects and was an executive producer. The synopsis: “Don [Ogg], a blue-collar plumber and Sonny [Doheny], his germaphobic son, are forced to take care of one another after the death of Sonny’s mom. To help Sonny overcome his germaphobia, Don drags him out on a routine house call where they encounter a plumber’s worst nightmare…a vicious killer creature that’s swimming through the pipes, killing the building’s tenants in an increasingly grisly fashion.”
