Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2013) ­ After Dark Films proudly announces the seventh film in its After Dark Originals 2 series (ADO2), Mischief Night, a story that takes place on the most devilish night of the year where things are not always as they seem.

"After Dark is always on the lookout for material that breaks the mold. Mischief Night's story and its characters are truly demented. We are excited to offer our audience something refreshingly new in the world of horror.” Stephanie Caleb, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs at After Dark Films

"With Mischief Night, I wanted to subvert all expectations of the slasher film, while also demonstrating due reverence for the immortal classics of the genre. It's a unique Halloween/Breakfast Club mash-up that's frightening, funny, dramatic, romantic...and above all else, very mischievous. My producer Richard Tanne and I are thrilled to be working with After Dark to bring our movie to the widest audience possible."Travis Baker, Director

It’s been 5 years since the outbreak that wiped out 85% of the world’s population, but the war between Re-Animates (Re-Ans) and Humans wages on. Most of the major cities are still uninhabitable. Within the few surviving cities, the Re-Ans have been segregated into "zones" and are policed by the R-Division of the QUASI S.W.A.T. Unit who hunt to re-kill the Re-Ans in the hope of quelling a second outbreak.

"R-Division, Frontline" is America’s #1 TV show in this Post-Apocalyptic world. Weekly, the show follows different R-Division units on the battlefield as they work to keep America Safe and Re-An free.
