It is set for a 2028 theatrical release.<\/p>\n<p>In the movie, when the candies of the rival towns Halloween Ville and Day of the Dead Town mysteriously vanish before their important festivities, the fate of both places falls to Pumpkid and Bony Lu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Studio 100 International to bring <em>Halloween vs. Day of the Dead<\/em> to life is an exciting opportunity to share a story we hold close to our hearts,\u201d said Garc\u00eda, founder of Lunch Films. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re creating a vibrant, heartfelt film that honors both traditions while telling a timeless tale of friendship, unity and hope. We believe audiences everywhere will connect with the journey of these two children from rival villages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Producer Gerry Cardoso commented, \u201cWe wanted to create a film that\u2019s not only fun and full of adventure but also celebrates the heart of Mexican culture. It\u2019s a playful clash of two iconic traditions, told through a story that\u2019s emotional and deeply rooted in family and identity. We hope audiences around the world will laugh, be moved and walk away with a greater appreciation for the beauty, spirit and meaning behind D\u00eda de los Muertos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up Mexican in New York, I looked forward to twice as many sweets and double the ghosts,\u201d added Lorena Booth, senior manager of sales and acquisitions at Studio 100 Film. \u201cHalloween and D\u00eda de los Muertos were both part of my life, so when this project came along, it ultimately felt like home. After two years of spirited\u2014and occasionally spooky\u2014talks, I\u2019m thrilled we\u2019re kicking off development and sharing it at the film market!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio 100 Film is co-producing the movie Halloween vs. Day of the Dead with Mexico\u2019s Lunch Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":30705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[11556,11557,10186,10391,10187,1452],"class_list":["post-30704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-celso-garcia","tag-gerry-cardoso","tag-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead","tag-lorena-booth","tag-lunch-films","tag-studio-100-film","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Studio 100 Film Introduces Halloween vs. Day of the Dead Movie - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Studio 100 Film Introduces Halloween vs. Day of the Dead Movie - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Studio 100 Film is co-producing the movie Halloween vs. Day of the Dead with Mexico\u2019s Lunch Films.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-10-15T08:00:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-15T15:11:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/10\/Studio100Film-HalloweenvsDayoftheDead-1025.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/\",\"name\":\"Studio 100 Film Introduces Halloween vs. Day of the Dead Movie - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-10-15T08:00:23+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-10-15T15:11:09+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/studio-100-film-introduces-halloween-vs-day-of-the-dead-movie\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Studio 100 Film Introduces Halloween vs. Day of the Dead Movie\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
