Watch The Trailer For The Drug-Fueled Indie Horror ‘Habitual’

We’ve got the new trailer for writer-director Johnny Hickey’s (Oxy Morons) new drug-fueled indie horror film, Habitual. In the film starring Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello (MTV’s The Challenge) and Thomas Walton (Room 9) after sniffing drugs and going to a rave being held at an abandoned asylum, a group of young adults is stalked by a relentless, malevolent presence, and their grasp on reality is torn limb from limb. A few years back, Boston-bred filmmaker Johnny Hickey brought the OxyContin epidemic to America’s attention with Oxy Morons.
