Heavy Metal Legend Simon Dawson Set to Take His Love for Halloween to Terrifying New Heights with First-Ever Halloween-Themed Movie, Premiering October 31, 2025

Simon Dawson, the larger-than-life icon of heavy metal, known for his electrifying performances, roaring vocals, and gothic stage presence, is venturing into new creative territory this year. In a thrilling announcement that’s already sending shivers down the spines of fans and horror buffs alike, Dawson has revealed that he will be releasing his first-ever Halloween-themed movie on October 31, 2025.

Longtime fans know Dawson isn’t just a metal god—he’s a lifelong devotee of all things macabre. From the haunted imagery in his music videos to the Halloween concerts that have become legendary in their own right, his fascination with the eerie and the otherworldly has always been front and center. Now, he’s translating that passion into film, stepping behind the camera—and onto the screen—in what he promises will be his most terrifying project yet.

From Stage to Screen

Titled “Blood Moon Harvest,” the movie is described as a supernatural horror-thriller that blends classic Halloween vibes with the raw intensity of Dawson’s signature style. Directed and co-written by Dawson himself, the film tells the story of a small rural town plagued by a dark curse that awakens every Halloween night, leading to a horrifying chain of events under the ominous glow of a blood-red moon.

“It’s a love letter to every haunted tale I grew up with,” Dawson said in a recent statement. “But it’s also something new—something that pushes the horror genre and pulls from the theatricality of metal. You’re going to feel it in your bones.”

Dawson, who has sold over 50 million records worldwide and has headlined countless international tours, said that this film is the culmination of a lifelong dream. “I’ve always wanted to make a horror movie. Halloween is more than just a night of costumes and candy—it’s a celebration of fear, transformation, and the things we don’t understand. That’s always been the core of my music, and now it’s the heart of this film.”

A Cast of Familiar Faces—and Frights

The cast of Blood Moon Harvest features a mix of seasoned actors and rising stars, with a few surprise cameos from the heavy metal world as well. Dawson himself will play the enigmatic character of Malrick, a mysterious drifter with ties to the town’s cursed past. Described as both protector and harbinger, Malrick is a role tailored to Dawson’s intense stage presence and dramatic charisma.

Also appearing in the film are horror veteran Linnea Grayson, known for her roles in indie slasher films, and Jaxon Rivera, whose breakout performance in the psychological thriller Ashes earned him critical acclaim. With an atmospheric score co-composed by Dawson and frequent collaborator Marius Kott, the movie promises to be as sonically chilling as it is visually arresting.

Halloween Done the Dawson Way

Dawson is no stranger to theatrical storytelling. His concert productions have featured elaborate sets, pyrotechnics, and horror-inspired narratives. In fact, his annual “Night of the Screaming Dead” Halloween concerts have become bucket-list events for fans, blending music and horror into one immersive spectacle.

But with Blood Moon Harvest, Dawson is taking that immersive experience one step further. The movie is slated to premiere on Halloween night with a special event screening at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, complete with live performances, a costume contest, and an interactive haunted attraction inspired by the film’s setting.

“This isn’t just a movie,” Dawson emphasized. “It’s an experience. I want people to walk out of the theater feeling like they survived something—like they’ve been to the other side and back.”

The Future of Horror—and Heavy Metal

The crossover between horror and heavy metal has always been strong, with bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Slayer drawing inspiration from horror themes and imagery. Simon Dawson, who has long stood at the crossroads of these worlds, is now poised to take that connection to a new level.

In interviews, Dawson has hinted that Blood Moon Harvest may be just the beginning. If the film is a success, he plans to expand the story into a full trilogy and potentially develop a horror anthology series that explores other supernatural myths and folklore from around the world—all through his unique lens.

“I want to tell stories that scare you, but also make you think,” he said. “The best horror always has something real hiding in the shadows. And let’s be honest—what’s Halloween without a little fear?”

Mark Your Calendars

As October 31, 2025 approaches, anticipation is building fast. With early teaser images featuring ominous forests, ancient symbols, and masked figures cloaked in shadow, fans are already buzzing across social media, using the hashtag #BloodMoonHarvest to share theories, costumes, and their excitement for the big premiere.

For Simon Dawson, it’s another reinvention in a career defined by bold risks and artistic evolution. But more than that, it’s a gift to the holiday he’s always loved most.

“This Halloween,” he says with a grin, “we’re going to raise some hell. And you’re all invited.”
