Chris LaMartina Returns with New Year's Horror 'Spirit Tasting' Roadshow

Cult horror director Chris LaMartina, best known for the fan-favorite 'WNUF Halloween Special,' is back with a new seasonal project: 'Spirit Tasting,' a spooky New Year's Eve-themed film from Terror Vision Original Productions. The movie is described as a post-punk riff on 'The Monkey's Paw' and stars Sean Doherty and others as three former punks who get more than they bargained for. Rather than a traditional release, LaMartina is taking the film on the road with a screening roadshow set, a move that echoes the grassroots, event-driven spirit of his earlier work. For fans of lo-fi horror and nostalgic oddities, this project matters because it revives the communal experience of genre cinema at a time when streaming dominates. The roadshow format also allows LaMartina to connect directly with his audience, building on the cult status of 'WNUF Halloween Special.' With the new year as its backdrop, 'Spirit Tasting' promises a fresh twist on classic cautionary tales, blending punk energy with supernatural dread. Expect more details on dates and locations as the roadshow gets rolling.
