Mission Statement

This five-part genre anthology, shot in summer 2024, marks the rise of Easy House—a woman-led Lithuanian studio crafting bold, English-language films for global audiences. We’re proving Lithuania can rival Hollywood: on time, under budget, and visually stunning.

The Story


'Nightmare Fuel': An Anthology of Chilling Tales!


Hi, I’m Algina Bedulskė, director of Nightmare Fuel and founder of Easy House film studio in Vilnius, Lithuania. I’m thrilled to announce that my incredible team and I have already completed five gripping films—each a 45-minute episode inspired by series like Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone.

These episodes explore horror, vengeance, shocking twists, and deeply troubling relationships, showcasing our passion for storytelling and creative collaboration.


Who Are We?



Easy House is a film studio based in Vilnius, Lithuania, and these films mark our debut.

Our diverse international team—including Lithuanians, Americans, Canadians, Brits, Aussies, and more—came together over just 17 days of shooting and a limited budget to create something remarkable.


Our goal? To show the world that a small country can produce big stories and build a global audience for unique, boundary-pushing cinema. Together, we can prove that even with limited resources, extraordinary stories can come to life!


Why Did We Create These Films?


Because we could! We are driven by the power of our community! With a talented team of writers, actors, and crew from around the world, we’ve proven that creativity knows no borders. These films are a testament to what’s possible when passionate people come together, and we’re eager to share them with you.



How YOU Can Help!


We’ve come this far, but now we need your support to complete post-production. Our goal is to raise $16,000 to fund editing, sound design, visual effects, color grading, titling, trailer creation, and more.

Additional funds will help us bring these films to the festival circuit, ensuring they reach a wider audience.

We anticipate the films will be finished, with your support, within 90 days of our campaign ending.

We look forward to getting these incentives out to you quickly. Without your generosity, these films will remain unfinished dreams. Help us bring Nightmare Fuel to life and share it with the world!

'Crazier About Each Other'



Set in a grim psychiatric facility, the story follows patients Maggie and Lionel as they navigate fraught relationships with their caregivers. A tense therapy session, violent outbursts, gruesome memories, and time in the isolation room reveal the darkness within them. Flashbacks of eerie hospital moments and confrontations with staff amplify the chilling atmosphere of secrets and psychological struggles.


'Where Does All The Passion Go'



Tammy Wilmot, the steadfast caretaker of a horse farm, faces her troubled past when she bonds with introverted Vernon. In the barn's shadows, shared secrets and vulnerabilities bring them closer. Over a beer, Tammy reveals scars from her upbringing, while Vernon confesses his fear of failure to fit in. As their lives intertwine, the horse farm shifts from sanctuary to battleground, exploring the haunting consequences of the characters' choices, revealing that the bonds formed in this vibrant rural setting may come at a bloody price.


'Witches'



In the shadowy Blue Mountain National Forest, two children bike through the trees before splitting at a menacing intersection. One struggles down a dirt path, haunted by unsettling sounds and eerie laughter. As he’s chased by a lurking figure, his screams are lost in the darkness.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Detective Mahoney, tormented by his past, is pushed to return to duty. Assigned to investigate a missing child, he’s warned by his Captain that the forest hides sinister secrets—secrets that may force him to confront his worst nightmares.


'Blue Christmas'



As Jessica prepares for her family’s festive Christmas Eve celebration, the cheerful atmosphere rapidly descends into horror when she panics and calls the police about a "Santa" break-in, only to be dismissed as a prankster. Moments later, her family begins to be menaced by Santa and his minion, leaving behind a gruesome scene of blood-soaked presents and shattered holiday cheer. Blue Christmas is a disturbing thriller that explores the fragility of family bonds amidst a backdrop of holiday horror, where the spirit of Christmas is grotesquely twisted into a nightmarish tale of bloodshed, betrayal, and unimaginable terror.


'Helloween'



Sam arrives on campus consumed by grief and rage, determined to avenge her sister Beth. Beneath their glamorous facade, the sorority sisters hide a sinister truth. As Sam endures harrowing initiation rituals, she witnesses brutal torment inflicted on pledges, including her friend Mika.

Tensions peak in a deadly showdown with ruthless leaders Jen and Tiffany. In a chilling act of vengeance, Sam unleashes a wave of violence, enlisting her father to execute her bloody plan. As sorority sisters fall, Sam transforms into a relentless avenger.

Helloween is a gripping thriller that exposes the dark side of sisterhood and the haunting consequences of toxic sorority culture, blending raw emotion with edge-of-your-seat suspense.
