"MIDNIGHT SKATER" LIVES UP TO SPLATTER RAMPAGE NAME 


MIDNIGHT SKATER 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!
