Synopsis

The Pitch

In 2016, Jeremy Garner of Frenetic Films Productions got an idea to make a horror anthology. He asked some Pacific Northwest filmmakers he knew to create a 12-minute horror/comedy piece, total carte blanche, except for the theme: a fictional, “bathsalts” inspired drug called SPUNK. Each segment was made independently over the course of nine months, occasionally sharing crew members. A wraparound segment was then put together to unify the pieces, turning six disparate tales into 98 minutes of seminal goofiness and bloody insanity.

Spunk’s Not Dead is a micro-budget flick, made with spit and polish, weekend shoots, a lot of favors, and a crazy passion for making fun movies. In the tradition of films like Reefer Madness and Street Trash, Spunk’s Not Dead is the type of wild ride that will leave you with withdrawals when the credits stop rolling.

The Story

All across the country, a new drug is taking over the streets, coating them in blood, vomit, and other less savory fluids. Spunk’s Not Dead, and it never will be unless we spread the word. From an innocent babysitter who takes her first hit of spunk to longtime spunk junkies, this drug is turning the world upside down. Only you can stop the White Menace! The best defense is education, and the six eye-opening stories in this anthology will make sure that you stay off spunk for the rest of your life.
