On this West Virginia Morning, Halloween may be over, but Mountain State spookiness continues on with a new film called Self-Help. Shot in locations near Huntington, the horror movie follows a college student who infiltrates a dangerous self-actualization community after her mother becomes entangled with its leader.

The film was produced by brothers Erik and Carson Bloomquist. Bill Lynch spoke with Carson about the film and their experience in West Virginia.

Also, we have updates on Mountain State job needs, food needs and an essay contest to help students save for college.
