Halloween: Campus Horrors
It's the ETSU Michael Myers's last semester on campus and three students - Sam, Cindy, and Mark - set out to officially meet the campus legend before he vanishes for good. It all goes horribly wrong, though, as the students discover that what they thought was a student making a school tradition, hides a malevolent side. Now, they must hide and fight for their lives against an evil much closer to the silver screen Boogeyman than they had originally thought.

Jalyn Weston, (Sweetwater, Tennessee, 2002) grew up with the love of creating art, no matter the medium. With his work, it has gone places like Nashville, TN and Washington D.C., he would work on any medium or artform he had access to, including paints, sketching, 3D modeling in both physical and computer-generated senses, and cosplay.
Weston has performed multiple roles in filmmaking, starting with his first major short film and directorial debut, "Halloween: Campus Horrors," where he reprised his real life persona, the ETSU Michael Myers Guy, as well as put together the VFX and editing. The film was selected in 2024's Highlands Horrorfest - and before 2025's "O' Black Water," he has taken on even more roles, like cam op, sound designer, special effects designer, and starred in other shorts and student projects.
He, alongside Jordon Clem - cinematographer of both of Weston's directed films ("Halloween: Campus Horrors" and "O' Black Water") is a key collaborator for Clem's production company, Wheely Good Productions.
"I think when creating, you always try to get or find something out of other people, even if sometimes the work you make could be just for yourself. That collaboration and that excitement is what, to me, makes the process all the more enjoyable. So, if I make something scary, or sad, or whimsical, no matter what I make - because I want to make all kinds of stuff - and I get to see how people react, that makes my process worth it."
