Fun Facts
The Mortuary Assistant (2026) adapts the 2022 indie horror video game of the same name, with development announced by DreadXP on September 22, 2022, marking one of the fastest video game-to-film transitions in recent horror history at under four years.
Casting Willa Holland as Rebecca Owens and Paul Sparks as Raymond Delver leverages their genre experience—Holland from Arrowverse horror arcs and Sparks from eerie roles in Boardwalk Empire—yet the film expands the game's single-player isolation into dual-lead psychological tension.
Shudder secured streaming rights pre-release, scheduling a theatrical debut on February 13, 2026, followed by March 27 streaming—strategic timing tying into the game's demonic possession lore around Lent season for viral marketing buzz.
