Halloween at Aunt Ethel’s is a low-budget horror-comedy film directed by Joseph Mazzaferro. The movie blends slasher horror with dark humor, offering a campy and gory take on the traditional Halloween horror setup.
The story is centered around the urban legend of **Aunt Ethel**, a reclusive old woman who lives alone in her creepy house. According to local rumors, Aunt Ethel makes candy and pumpkin pie out of the bodies of neighborhood children who go missing every Halloween. Despite the stories, no one in the community has ever been able to prove anything, and the police dismiss it as nothing more than a local myth.
As Halloween approaches, a group of teens decides to investigate the legend and see if Aunt Ethel is as dangerous as the rumors suggest. When they sneak into her house, they quickly realize that the stories are more than just legend—Aunt Ethel is indeed a murderous witch who delights in gruesome, over-the-top kills.
The film follows the teenagers as they try to survive Halloween night, while Aunt Ethel (played with exaggerated, grotesque charm by **Gail Yost**) uses all kinds of twisted methods to terrorize and murder them.
