Chris Morrissey wrote and directed the film which has gained a cult following over the last few years.

"Watching movies in theaters is a huge passion of mine" says Morrissey. "I've held off releasing all of my films on DVD and Blu-Ray over the years because I really wanted people to cherish that theater experience. I was scheduling a new double-feature theatrical screening tour of both Trick of the Witch and Heavy Makeup at the start of 2020 and the pandemic hit. Everything got put on hold indefinitely as all of the cinema's sadly closed. As a special treat, I really wanted to give people a chance to watch the film until everyone feels comfortable going back to theaters."
