Your Monster trailer: Melissa Barrera falls in love with the beast living in her closet

It's a great day here at 1428 Elm. Vertical has just dropped the official trailer for the upcoming romantic horror-comedy Your Monster, which is set for a Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, theatrical release. Check it out right below!

Your Monster was written and directed by Caroline Lindy. In addition, it's an indie horror-comedy flick based on Lindy's 2019 short film of the same name. It centers around a soft-spoken actress named Laura Franco, who finds her life falling apart after her longtime boyfriend of five years suddenly breaks up with her while she's recovering from surgery in the hospital.

Down in the dumps about the breakup, Laura moves back home to stay in her childhood home. Then, to make matters worse, she finds out her ex-boyfriend is putting on a musical they had worked on together. However, her life starts to change for the better when she discovers a weirdly charming monster living in her closet. They begin to form a close bond, and the monster helps Laura find her voice again, the motivation to continue to chase her dreams, and maybe even romance.

Abigail star Melissa Barrera stars in the leading role of Laura Franco, while Tommy Dewey (Pivoting, Casual) plays the role of the Monster. The rest of the cast includes Edmund Donovan as Jacob, Meghann Fahy as Jackie Dennon, and Kayla Foster as Mazie.

Your Monster premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in January 2024. Two months later, Vertical Entertainment decided to purchase the distribution rights to the movie. Now, horror fans will soon get to see the romantic horror-comedy. It's coming to theaters on Oct. 25, just in time for Halloween. While there are several other horror movies coming to theaters in October, make sure Your Monster is at the top of our watchlist. This isn't a movie you want to miss out on!
