This one really isn’t horsing around.

Filmmaker Steve Rudzinski has recently completed CAROUSHELL 4, the latest in the movie series that began in 2016. Rudzinski directed, produced and edited this entry and scripted with Aleen Isley, who also stars along with Steve Rimpici, B. Barnabei, Autumn Ivy and Judy Casella. This entry boasts 23 kills, a record for the franchise, created by makeup effects artists Cody Ruch and Samantha Sanford. The synopsis: “Duke [Rimpici] tries to help Robbie [Barnabei] understand growing up isn’t scary. On a father/son vacation to a cabin in the woods, Robbie finds the Nekkomeownicon and tries to speak to his late mother. But these words are instead heard by The Leviathan and its demon horde.”

  • Audio commentary
  • Music videos
