Filmmaker Erik Bloomquist (Founders Day, She Came From the Woods) is back with new horror movie Self-Help, and a brand new trailer gives a closer look at the Halloween setting, along with a seasonally appropriate release date.
Self-Help is set for a nationwide theatrical rollout on Halloween, October 31, with “Mischief Night Sneak Previews” on October 30. Expect a digital release in early 2026.
The film follows a college student as she infiltrates a dangerous self-actualization community after her mother becomes entangled with its enigmatic “anti-cult” leader.
Jake Weber (Medium, Dawn of the Dead), Landry Bender (Looking for Alaska, The Sitter), Madison Lintz (Bosch, The Walking Dead), and Amy Hargreaves (Homeland, 13 Reasons Why) star alongside Blaque Fowler (Halloween Ends), Erik Bloomquist (Founders Day), Adam Weppler (The Four Seasons), and Carol Cadby (Radium Girls).
Erik Bloomquist wrote the screenplay with his brother Carson Bloomquist (Founders Day, She Came from the Woods). The brothers produce for Mainframe alongside co-producers Amy Hargreaves, Landry Bender, Tyler LaValley, Jerry Daigle, William Kay, and Chris Woodward.
“Self-Help represents everything we love about horror: fearless storytelling, visceral gore, and disturbing imagery that stays with you long after the credits roll. We’re delighted to be bringing Erik and Carson’s next film to audiences across North America,” says distributor Cineverse.
