The anticipation has only grown as locals have eagerly followed the film’s progress and waited for news on when and where they could finally stream it. That long-awaited update came on Monday, January 27th, 2025, when Myke Furhman himself joined us live in the studio on the I-95 Morning Show to share the exciting details.

Lou: There is some news as it relates to the Candlewood film, you want to tell us what that is?

Myke: "We have a release date! Everyone has been asking about it and requesting it. We’re coming out on March 11th of this year. On March 11th, it will be available digitally worldwide on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and probably a couple of other platforms. It will be available for purchase and rental, so it will be everywhere. All you'll have to do is search for Candlewood, and it will pop right up. I think it will be available for pre-sale for those who want to give me their money a little sooner, which is greatly appreciated. There will also be a limited theatrical run, especially in the local area. We've talked to Bethel, Bantam, Carmel, and Bank Street. So yes, there will be a theatrical release as well, and I implore you to see it in theaters—despite your wonderful home theater setups, movies are meant to be experienced on the big screen. The theatrical release will be on March 6th."

RECAP: Candlewood comes to Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime on March 11th. You can pre-order on Apple TV+ right now. There are also four locals theaters showing the movie starting today:

Bank Street Theater - New Milford, CT
Greenwood Features - Bethel, CT
Carmel Cinema - Carmel, NY

Exclusive Photos, Videos, and Interviews on the Set of New Milford Horror Movie

"Candlewood" is a horror film that just finished filming in New Milford, CT. This is how the filmmakers described the project on their Indiegogo:

"Candlewood is the first movie of three in the psychological/horror feature film franchise. A blended family moves from the city to a small town in Connecticut, where a local urban legend adds chaos and terror to an already fragile family dynamic. The staunch patriarch, who desperately wants his family to not see him as a failure but as the father that did everything, he could to keep his family together through difficult times. Candlewood follows a family leaving New York City for a simpler life in the country town of New Milford, CT. The haunting and mysterious true stories of missing hikers near a popular state park, Lover's Leap, coupled with the town of Jerusalem sitting at the bottom of Candlewood Lake gives credibility to our narrative. We bring to life the struggle of good vs evil and what happens when lifelong, outdated traditions are challenged."

A while back I got in touch with the folks behind the movie, invited them on the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou and Dave and talked about the film, and shooting in New Milford. We spoke with Director Myke Furhman and Writer/Executive Producer Victoria Flores-Argue. During that discussion, I demanded to be in the movie, telling the duo that I have some experience acting on TV shows that never actually made it onto TV. Against all odds, they did invite me to participate and I visited the set on October 20th to shoot a scene that is important. I was extremely nervous and I had zero idea of what I was in for. Below are some insider moments from my day on-set and from others.
