The film, described as a dark comedy, centers around a small-town mayoral race that unexpectedly captures national attention. At the heart of the story is an unlikely woman who not only influences the outcome of the election, but also helps the town reconnect with what it truly means to be patriotic.

Production will take place across various locations in New Milford, including multiple days of filming in the downtown area. The movie aims to showcase some of the town’s most iconic and picturesque features — from the historic green and bandstand to the charming architecture that gives New Milford its character. The goal is to highlight the town’s unique beauty and reinforce its proud nickname: “The Best Town in the USA.”

We’ll be following the development of this story closely as filming gets underway. I had a chance to catch up with our friend — and the film’s director — Myke 'Foo' FUR-H-MAN earlier today, and he hinted that there are plenty more exciting details to come.

In case you're new here, Furhman Directed and Produced the 2025 film Candlewood which also shot in and around New Milford.

This is so good for New Milford. It's one thing when a community rallies around the arts (which New Milford does), but you hit a whole other level when you have a respected and legitimate filmmaker insisting on highlighting the beauty and talent of his hometown.

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 We bring to life the struggle of good vs evil and what happens when lifelong, outdated traditions are challenged."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.
