It may have gotten lost in the hype over Halloween‘s 40th anniversary and latest sequel, but there’s another Halloween film at the box office this month with some big names in the cast — and it happens to be the brainchild of a brand, not one of the major studios.

The film first aired exclusively on DirecTV and is now showing in a limited number of theaters across the country.
