"MIDNIGHT SKATER" LIVES UP TO SPLATTER RAMPAGE NAME
B-movie legend Fred Olen Ray calls it "One of the most wildly original films
I've ever seen...I flat out loved it!" Extreme gore fans should get ready to
sink their teeth into the latest Splatter Rampage release, MIDNIGHT SKATER. This
splatter mini-classic comes courtesy of Kent, Ohio's Speed Freak Productions,
who brought us the zany antics seen in last year's SPLATTER RAMPAGE WRESTLING.
Spearheaded by brothers Andy & Luke Campbell, the Speed Freak gang are all a
bunch of die-hard horror fanatics and that passion truly shows in their
work.
Something strange is happening on a small-town
college campus... Students have been disappearing and the only clues left behind
are a bloody corpse and the name "Midnight Skater." A group of nosy kids take it
upon themselves to put an end to the mystery, but find out they may be in over
their heads! They’ll have to make their way through the college’s
dark side of drugs, lies and murder in order to find out who is behind it all.
Prepare for an all-out gorefest in one of the most bloody twisted tales of
horror ever told!
MIDNIGHT SKATER starts
a new era in Splatter Rampage history. Tempe has split the label off from its
deal with Ventura Distribution, and all sales & marketing on Splatter
Rampage will now be handled by Pro-Active Entertainment Group. This will allow
us to get a few more titles out the door each year and put a special focus on
movies that are a bit more graphic in nature. And if there's one thing that
MIDNIGHT SKATER doesn't skimp on, it's the blood and gore! This is the kind of
movie that the Splatter Rampage label was created for...drug-addicted zombies
ripping apart kids on a college
campus!
The SKATER disc includes a
handful of bonus features, including 17 minutes of deleted scenes, a commentary
track with the Speed Freak crew and a short film "The Stranger". If that's not
enough, the Speed Freakers have already wrapped up their latest project, DEMON
SUMMER, which will debut from Splatter Rampage this June. This one is a must for
fans of THE EVIL DEAD series. A trailer for DEMON SUMMER is featured on the
SKATER DVD. These guys are starting to really make a name for themselves in
no-budget horror, and with good reason...they deliver the gory
goods!
Although MIDNIGHT SKATER has a
national street date of May 25, you can order your very own copy from our online
store starting today...copies will ship in early March! The retail price is
$19.99 but you can buy direct for only $14.99. Don't miss out on owning this
soon-to-be cult hit, and be sure to bring your copy to the Frightvision
convention April 2-4 and get it signed by the Speed Freak gang, plus check out a
sneak preview screening of DEMON SUMMER during Tempe Friday Night
Movies!
