Ding Dong Ditch™ — The Movie Series — Sets Halloween Weekend Release

New Haven, Connecticut Sep 11, 2025 (EMWNews.com) – Ding Dong Ditch: Shadows of the Big East–based on the global award-winning book–is officially set to release Halloween weekend.

In the sprawling alternative metropolis known as The Big East, a Halloween prank detonates into an almost unsolvable kidnapping that puts the city on edge. Veteran Detective Charlie Dawson–hot-tempered, battle-worn, instinct-driven, and impossible to shake–works the case his way: measuring blink speed, frown lines, and the air between answers. The city’s gone hyper-tech, but Dawson still reads rooms like a lie detector–old-school wit that keeps cracking doors algorithms miss.

Following a trail through back-alley codes and marble-floored power corridors, Dawson collides with a lethal ghost: a former special-operations soldier devastated by the loss of his son and ready to rewrite the rules to avenge it.

Then the chief assigns Dawson three rookies to the high-profile hunt–against Dawson’s better judgment. He doesn’t want them. The Big East’s uptick in violent crime and corruption has turned this cold case into a powder keg–no place for rookies. And as Dawson edges closer to the source, the case turns volatile; the rookies’ inexperience could cost them the case–or worse.

Meanwhile, Reporter Ms. Kelsey Rowles steps in with information–clean, surgical intel that keeps surprising Dawson. He’s a man of many women, but one voice cuts through: her soft wit disarms his short temper, and a real connection sparks in the noise. As their lead deepens, she edges too close–close enough to risk the crossfire.
