"FOR SALE BY EXORCIST" (2025) Is Fighting The Housing Crisis With Horror And Humor (TRAILER)
You don’t have to scroll very far in your news app to see just how dire the housing market is. Those looking for a home are met with extremely high prices, cash buyers who outbid others, and private companies buying up homes to resale for profit, it’s enough to drive someone to make a bad decision. Like say, moving into a haunted house. While some people gravitate towards those kinds of homes, maybe to ghost hunt or just because it fits their aesthetic, the idea of living in a place that is possibly haunted could be a great bargaining tool for those looking for some more leverage. Then again, maybe what the world really needs is a realtor who is also an exorcist, the premise of “For Sale By Exorcist,” the latest horror-comedy from DREAD Presents!
Check out the trailer and details below to get a sense of what kind of spooky doings and hilarious gags are in store. We are certainly intrigued by the “mockumentary” style approach here and can’t wait to see what laughs and frights there are to behold when the film releases on March 11, 2025 on VOD!
From The Press Release
Think the current housing market is a nightmare? Wait 'til you take a tour of the demonic dwellings in For Sale By Exorcist, a new horror comedy released through LA.-based Epic Pictures’ horror label, DREAD. Available for rent or purchase on video-on-demand beginning March 11, 2025, the film will also be screening at the Nevermore Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina on February 28th and March 1st with director Melissa LaMartina in attendance.
Executive produced by Ed Sanchez, the director of The Blair Witch Project; directed by Melissa LaMartina, the writer of the hit horror video game, Amanda the Adventurer; and co-written by Chris LaMartina of WNUF Halloween Special fame and Rob Walker of the satire site The Hard Times; For Sale By Exorcist is a morbid mockumentary that blends gasps and giggles.
For Sale By Exorcist follows Susan Price, a savvy realtor and certified exorcist who’s spent years flipping haunted houses across the country. From bleeding walls to glowing eyes, every listing is to die for! But as Susan hunts for her own forever home, the ghosts she’s evicted return for revenge. Will Susan settle with these vengeful spirits…or could she lose her life along with her down payment?
Director Melissa LaMartina says, “For a movie with a groin-grabbing succubus and death-metal necromancers, For Sale By Exorcist has a surprising amount of heart. At its core, the story is about creating community and finding a place for everyone in it — living or otherwise.”
Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald thinks this movie will turn heads: “For Sale By Exorcist isn’t just a horror-comedy—it’s a no-holds-barred, ghostly mockumentary that twists the genre in wildly unexpected ways. Working with the incredibly talented Chris LaMartina, who wrote and produced the film, and the visionary Melissa LaMartina, who directed and produced, was an absolute thrill. Their passion and creativity shine in every eerie, hilarious, and chaotic moment. This film is packed with surprises, scares, and laughs, and we had an absolute blast bringing it to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the madness, the mystery, and the mayhem that For Sale By Exorcist delivers!”
