A Look Back At Thrills Ville’s 2025

Whew! What a year! Thrills Ville stayed busy.

Starting in January, we had Joe’s 45th Birthday party with a rocking live performance in store by Rebecca’s band Low Water Mark for Ghosts.

April we hit up the Wildey’s 2025 Short Film Fest with our friend Byron and took home the top prize in the community film category with his film Cereal Offenders starring Joe and co-directed by Adam!

Mid-year we went heads down and rolled out our Ebay store, Patreon, revamped newsletter section of the website, got the Cult Movie Club going in collaboration with the Edwardsville Public Library, started doing some new video formats for our YouTube channel, attended a few local toy fairs, and even more I am probably forgetting.

Then we restarted the newsletter (for good this time), had Jason and Michael roaming the streets for Halloween, and held our 2nd annual Black Metal Friday. Unfortunately the snow preempted Small Business Saturday but we rescheduled a day later.

This month we collaborated with the Edwardsville Public Library again as they re-launched their Anime Club into the Adult Animation Club.

We have also been discussing some big plans for something we can’t really talk about yet but, needless to say, we will drop details here when we have them. If we can pull it off, it will be epic.

For 2026, we are planning even more, stay tuned for details on Joe’s 46th birthday party bash!

Thanks for following us and being part of our journey, we couldn’t do this without the support of the community and we hope to keep pushing higher from here. Happy holidays and happy 2026 everyone! Our journey continues…
