"The Haunting of Play House"
What to do what a haunted play house in your backyard? This is the question posed by Austin-based co-writer/director Chris McInroy with his latest horror comedy short, The Haunting of Play House. Co-writer Carlos LaRotta stars as a new homeowner battling a supernatural entity that he believes wants to possess his daughter. He teams up with his next-door neighbor to contemplate ways to dispossess the haunted play house—without realizing that his unwanted guest is already claiming victim after victim. The Haunting of Play House will screen at 8:15 p.m. Sept. 18 and 11 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Alamo South Lamar as part of Fantastic Fest’s Short Fuse shorts program. Austin-based writer/director Chris McInroy previously directed last year's Fantastic Fest selection Chair, the Scare Package segment “One Time in the Woods,” and Guts, a 2023 FANGORIA Chainsaw Award nominee for Best Short. He also directed the shorts Skeeter, We Joined a Cult, We Forgot About the Zombies, We Summoned a Demon, Death Metal, and Bad Guy # 2. Aired: Sept. 16, 2026.
