AFTER DARK ORIGINALS A New Brand of Fear<\/em><\/span><\/strong> on DVD<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paramount Home Entertainment Australia (PHEA) and Transmission Films will launch the world\u2019s most successful horror film brand into the Australian market in October.<\/p>\n

After Dark Films<\/strong> is the largest producer and distributor of horror product in the U.S. and is responsible for the largest horror film festival in the world, After Dark\u2019s \u2018Horrorfest.\u2019\u00a0 Between 2006-2010, four different seasons of After Dark\u2019s \u2018Horrorfest: 8 Films to Die For\u2019 ran in the U.S. with After Dark Films acquiring 8 cutting edge horror films to include in each season\u2019s line-up.\u00a0 After 4 years and 32 films, the festival was rebranded in 2011 as AFTER DARK ORIGINALS A New Brand of Fear<\/em><\/strong> with all 8 films produced by After Dark Films.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the launch of the first \u2018Horrorfest\u2019 in 2006, the titles from these five festivals have grossed over $70 million on DVD.<\/p>\n

After Dark<\/strong> Films<\/strong> Co-founder, CEO and filmmaker Courtney Solomon will travel to Sydney to undertake a promotional tour from October 18-20, including a publicity junket and a Q & A session at an event screening hosted by Popcorn Taxi on October 18, at which he will unveil the World Premiere of several minutes of previously unseen footage from one of the eight titles, \u2018Re-Kill\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of the eight AFTER DARK ORIGINALS A New Brand of Fear<\/em><\/strong> films, seven will be launched on DVD in Australia by PHEA in October and November, while the eighth, \u2018Re-Kill\u2019<\/strong> will be held over for a theatrical and DVD release in this market in early 2012, in line with the US release strategy.<\/p>\n

Transmission Films acquired the rights for the AFTER DARK ORIGINALS A New Brand of Fear<\/em><\/strong> films as well as the \u2018After Dark Action\u2019<\/strong> films from powerhouse sales agency IM Global, whose Octane label handles worldwide rights for both franchises.\u00a0 \u2018After Dark Action\u2019<\/strong> is a collaboration between Courtney Solomon\u2019s After Dark Films and legendary producer Joel Silver. Paramount Home Entertainment Australia (PHEA) and Transmission Films have slated the first five original action\/thrillers being produced by \u2018After Dark Action\u2019<\/strong> for release on DVD in 2012.<\/p>\n

Transmission Films Co-founder & Joint Managing Director Richard Payten said of the new relationship with After Dark: \u201cWe are delighted to be in business with Courtney and to be launching the After Dark brands in Australia. \u00a0When you consider Courtney\u2019s achievements across \u2018After Dark\u2019, \u2018Horrorfest\u2019 and \u2018After Dark Action\u2019, there is no doubt he is an extremely talented, motivated and successful filmmaker and we look forward to a long and successful partnership with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

PHEA has a range of promotional initiatives in place to support the DVD launch of AFTER DARK ORIGINALS A New Brand of Fear<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>including an After Dark Festival Screening Event at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington on October 29, the Saturday prior to Halloween celebrations.\u00a0 Two of the eight films in the series \u2013 \u2018Seconds Apart\u2019 and \u2018Husk\u2019 (starring former Home & Away star Tammin Sursock) – will be previewed on the big screen.\u00a0\u00a0 Tickets will be available to buy from Wednesday 28th<\/sup> September at www.chauvelcinema.net.au<\/a><\/p>\n

PHEA is also planning a comprehensive social media campaign, one aspect of which will be the search for Australia\u2019s biggest fan of horror via an online competition.\u00a0 The winner will become the \u2018social media reporter\u2019 for this campaign and will have extensive access to Courtney Solomon during his Australian Tour.<\/p>\n
