Indie Horror Breakout “Bampire” Hunts the Woods with Deer-Vampire Mash-Up

“Bampire” – The Bambi horror movie your mom warned you about and weird uncle loves, just released the first official trailer. 

The story of Bampire revolves around a hapless professor and a pack of misfit students who head into the woods in search of a legendary fanged deer; they instead unleash a bloodthirsty half-deer, half-human nightmare in a 90s throwback horror comedy where nobody passes survival class. 

Bampire was filmed in Oregon in late 2023 and was completed in August of 2025. The film has been playing film festivals and winning awards all over the country including ‘Best Horror Film’ at the Oregon Independent Film Festival, ‘Best Actor’ (Jeff Brosy) at the Boobs & Blood Film Festival, and ‘Best of the Fest’ at the Hollywood Horrorfest.

The film stars Greg Sestero (The Room, The Disaster Artist), Katie Gibbons, Paul Addison, Melody Parra, Jacob Rayl, Jeff Brosy and Malachite Saaquya with a special appearance from Diane Franklin (Better Off Dead, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure). The film features a mix of live action and hand-drawn animation and has been described as Evil Dead 2 meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It also features voice cameos from Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger) and Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks, Inglorious Basterds).

The film was independently produced and is currently seeking distribution with the goal of being released before the end of 2025.

“Whatever you are expecting this movie to be, I promise it’s a lot weirder than that!” -Taylor Morden, Director

“This film is special. It’s radical, funny, thrilling, and very entertaining. It’s a stand out work of art” – Diane Franklin, Actor

Hey, I'm Poesiha! I'm the kind of person who could spend hours lost in movies, give me popcorn, a cozy blanket, and a horror flick, and I’m in my happy place. Horror is my absolute favorite; there’s just something about the suspense, the jump scares, and the “don’t go in there!” moments that I can’t get enough of. When I’m not watching movies, I’m usually writing, scribbling down ideas, stories, or whatever random thought pops into my head. Writing is my little superpower; it’s where I get to create my own worlds instead of just watching them on screen. Honestly, movies and writing are like my two best friends: one keeps me entertained, the other lets me imagine and express.
