«Spook Gallery: Redux» by Nolan Schmidt

October is here — ghosts are out, pumpkins are lit, and if you’re short on prank ideas, Spook Gallery: Redux has you covered. Filmmaker and performer Nolan Schmidt brings back his iconic alter ego Sir Cooly for another delightfully offbeat Halloween special that blurs the line between parody, homemade horror, and pure creative chaos.

Joined by Chase Bell (Barney), Melissa Munson (Dani), Jonathan Barton (Jay/Scarecrow), and David Shields(Dave/Ubu), Schmidt crafts a patchwork of sketches where everyday folks and spooky creatures collide in a spirited celebration of low-budget fun.

There’s something charmingly unfiltered about Schmidt’s work — a reminder of the days when horror was shot in backyards, with friends, costumes, and a lot of heart. Spook Gallery: Redux isn’t just a return of Sir Cooly, it’s a return to the sheer joy of making movies for the love of it.

So turn off the lights, grab some candy, and let Sir Cooly guide you through a Halloween you definitely won’t forget.
