TEMPE DVD BRINGS CULT APPEAL TO KC SALES WITH NEW PARTNERSHIP 

Launched in January 2002, Tempe DVD has become known as a leader in entertaining, value-added horror and cult releases among its many fans. Independent producer/director J.R. Bookwalter (THE DEAD NEXT DOOR, WITCHOUSE 2: BLOOD COVEN) chose to launch his own DVD label rather than licensing his work to outsiders and being at the mercy of their often-feeble marketing and distribution efforts. This “anti-distributor” approach has also become appealing to other like-minded producers seeking a home for work dismissed or misunderstood by traditional labels.
