The Story

A kitchen gadget with a sarcastic streak and a taste for blood.

It starts the way every modern kitchen story starts: somebody brings home a shiny new air fryer. Then the odd noises begin, the temperature spikes nobody set, the food that comes out wrong. Before long the appliance has a mind of its own, a mouth full of fangs, and a punchline for every body it leaves behind.

Voiced by Matt Skinner, the Air Fryer is framed like a classic slasher icon, all quips and carnage, cutting a crispy, gory path through a small town while a TV reel of indie horror cameos plays in the background. It is a love letter to 80s rental-shelf horror and to the Troma tradition, with practical effects led by SFX makeup lead Ron George and nothing held back.

Content note: unrated, with gore, sexual humour and nudity. Grown-ups only.

Bloody Horror with an 80’s Twist— the MMH Productions motto

The Filmmaker

Matthew Mark Hunter founded MMH Productions in Garfield Heights, Ohio, in 2017 and became an award-winning filmmaker at seventeen. Since then he has made more than 260 short and feature films, writing, directing, editing and often acting in them, creating his own monsters and handling his own distribution, including titles on Troma Now.

His work is guerrilla-style, 80s-soaked horror built with a wide circle of cast and crew, from first-timers to genre veterans. Air Fryer Slaughter sits alongside Nightmares Unleashed and The Tale of the Bone Collector among the films he is best known for.

From the Associate Producer

SunnyJ Shores, associate producer (and the Pet Seller on screen).

I learned a lot from Matthew, and I really enjoyed being part of the crew. Working remotely with such a diverse team taught me a great deal about the dynamics of making a film together from different places.

I value the experience, and I am proud to have been part of Air Fryer Slaughter.
