Sam Treadway

Sam Treadway, now there’s a name you might spot in the credits if you’re the kind of person who actually sits through them. The dude’s got a way of popping up in projects that are a little off the beaten path. Take The Vampire Leland from 2016—gothic, moody, and dripping with atmosphere. He doesn’t just play the role, he kind of disappears into it. The film plays around with the whole vampire mythos but refuses to go full cliché—think less sparkly brooding, more existential dread and long, uncomfortable silences. Treadway’s got this haunted vibe, like he’s seen way too much, and it totally works. Then there’s 2Survive, which dropped the year before. If you’re into survival thrillers, this one’s a wild ride. A group tossed into the middle of nowhere, forced to face their demons—and each other. Treadway isn’t just another body in the background. He brings this raw, scrappy energy, like he’s genuinely fighting for every breath. You’ll find yourself rooting for him even when he’s making some seriously questionable calls. It’s messy, it’s tense, and hey, not everyone makes it out alive. Harbinger, also from 2015, spins things in a different direction—more psychological, less outright horror. Treadway slides into a character who’s unraveling at the seams. The movie’s got that slow-burn, what’s-real-what’s-not vibe, and Treadway leans all the way in. It’s not about jump scares or gore, but about that creeping sense of dread when you realize things are about to go sideways. He’s not flashy, but man, he sticks with you long after the credits roll.
