Stan Helsing

In the dim glow of a small-town video‑rental shop, Stan Helsing drifts through his night shift with a mantra of avoidance and a stubborn reluctance to get involved. When his boss hands him an impossible errand—delivering a bag of obscure films—Stan reluctantly assembles a makeshift crew for the ride: his loyal but goofy friend Teddy, his sharp‑tongued ex‑girlfriend Nadine, and the wildly enthusiastic Mia. The quartet sets out under the waning light of Halloween, intent on slipping through the evening unnoticed before crashing a party on the other side of town.

The world they navigate is a tongue‑in‑cheek homage to classic horror, where every roadside sign and dimly lit alley seems ready to spring a familiar fright, but with a wink and a laugh. The film balances the gritty, low‑budget aesthetic of a rundown suburb with an over‑the‑top, parody‑laden sensibility that turns even the most iconic monsters into sources of slapstick mayhem. As the night deepens, the streets become a surreal stage, inviting the characters to confront absurd obstacles that test their wits as much as their nerve.

At its core, the story follows Stan’s reluctant evolution from a man who “doesn’t talk about it” to someone who must decide whether to stay detached or step into a role he never asked for. The chemistry among the group fuels the comedy—Teddy’s reckless optimism clashes with Nadine’s dry sarcasm, while Mia’s unbridled excitement keeps the energy bouncing. Together, they become an unlikely team whose dynamic comedy and hidden bravery set the tone for a night where horror and humor collide in a wildly entertaining dance.
