If you’ve never been afraid of something coming out and grabbing you while you’re on the toilet, you soon will be.
Well Canada, get ready to be scared of using the bathroom, as Scared Shitless is about to make sure you never trust a toilet again. This isn’t just another creature feature—it’s the kind of horror-comedy where the monster comes up through the pipes and gets you when you’re most vulnerable.
Directed by Vivieno Caldinelli (Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss) and written by Brandon Cohen, Scared Shitless is equal parts biological horror, dirty humor, and guaranteed to make you lose control of something when it officially comes to Netflix Canada on October 14.
The film follows a plumber and his germophobic son who get called in to deal with a problem in an apartment building’s pipes… problem being, there’s a genetically engineered, blood-hungry nightmare crawling through the sewer system—and it’s not clogging, it’s consuming.
What begins with bad plumbing turns into full-blown nightmare fuel, as toilet bowls become tunnels from hell and a clogged drain becomes the least of your worries.
The cast includes Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead), Daniel Doheny, Chelsea Clark, and Mark McKinney (Superstore), all trying to survive a building-wide infestation that doesn’t knock before entering and definitely doesn’t care about your renter’s insurance.
Producer Lewis Spring shared this about the project:
“When we set out to create Scared Shitless, we wanted it to be both outrageously funny and genuinely scary. It’s a story that’s as much about facing your fears as it is about surviving a plumber’s worst nightmare. We’re thrilled that Canadian audiences on Netflix will be able to experience the film, and we hope they enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Scared Shitless starts streaming in Canada on October 14, just in time to make your Halloween a little messier.
So on October 14, make sure you: Check the pipes. Check the bowl. And whatever you do—don’t sit down.
