Where can I find the New Milford Movie 'Candlewood?'

Candlewood, the indie horror film shot in New Milford, Connecticut and surrounding areas, is now available to stream for free — and it’s already making waves. Up until now, the film was only available to rent on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime, but fans can now watch it at no cost on the Tubi streaming platform.

This move is a major win for the independent film world. Tubi has built a strong reputation for supporting indie creators, giving their work a national platform and helping these stories reach wider audiences. In Candlewood’s case, it’s working — the film is already climbing Tubi’s horror charts and quickly gaining momentum.

Directed by New Milford native Myke "Foo" Furhman and written by fellow resident Victoria Flores, Candlewood has been a source of local pride since its production began. And now, with a growing audience and national exposure, it’s becoming a breakout success well beyond Connecticut.

And not that it really matters, but I do make a thrilling little cameo near the end of the film. You've never seen someone strut down a sidewalk with that much confidence — it’s almost distracting.

Actually, there are probably plenty of people who could’ve walked better — I’ve got bad knees and a bad back — but I was the most eager two-footed option in Connecticut. I was so pumped to be on set and have a part in this thing that I even dressed like someone who knows how to read. Incredible.

Exclusive Photos, Videos, and Interviews on the Set of New Milford Horror Movie

"Candlewood" is a horror film that just finished filming in New Milford, CT. This is how the filmmakers described the project on their Indiegogo: 
 
"Candlewood is the first movie of three in the psychological/horror feature film franchise. A blended family moves from the city to a small town in Connecticut, where a local urban legend adds chaos and terror to an already fragile family dynamic. The staunch patriarch, who desperately wants his family to not see him as a failure but as the father that did everything, he could to keep his family together through difficult times. Candlewood follows a family leaving New York City for a simpler life in the country town of New Milford, CT. The haunting and mysterious true stories of missing hikers near a popular state park, Lover's Leap, coupled with the town of Jerusalem sitting at the bottom of Candlewood Lake gives credibility to our narrative. We bring to life the struggle of good vs evil and what happens when lifelong, outdated traditions are challenged." 
 
A while back I got in touch with the folks behind the movie, invited them on the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou and Dave and talked about the film, and shooting in New Milford. We spoke with Director Myke Furhman and Writer/Executive Producer Victoria Flores-Argue. During that discussion, I demanded to be in the movie, telling the duo that I have some experience acting on TV shows that never actually made it onto TV. Against all odds, they did invite me to participate and I visited the set on October 20th to shoot a scene that is important. I was extremely nervous and I had zero idea of what I was in for. Below are some insider moments from my day on-set and from others.
