Chris LaMartina’s ‘Spirit Tasting’ New Year’s Horror Film Revealed as Screening Roadshow

Cult horror director Chris LaMartina, known for the viral hit ‘WNUF Halloween Special,’ is returning with a new seasonal experiment: ‘Spirit Tasting,’ a New Year’s Eve-themed film from Terror Vision Original Productions. Described as a “post-punk riff on ‘The Monkey’s Paw,’” the story follows three former punks played by Sean Doherty and others, blending supernatural dread with a distinctly DIY aesthetic. The project is being released as a screening roadshow, echoing LaMartina’s signature interactive, event-driven approach that turns moviegoing into a communal ritual. For fans of analog horror and retro VHS nostalgia, this announcement signals another carefully crafted genre piece designed to play best with a crowd—and likely to become a late-night favorite. The roadshow format also hints at limited availability, making each screening a must-attend for collectors and completists. With ‘Spirit Tasting,’ LaMartina continues to prove that holiday horror doesn’t have to end at Halloween; the new year can be just as terrifying.
