Just weeks after announcing the completion of ?Valley of the
Witch?, Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE), a leading U.S.A. producer and distributor
of independent films, books and entertainment products, has set another, new
feature production for release. ?The Midnight Horror Show?, an intense and
macabre thriller, will launch to DVD, Blu-Ray and Video-On-Demand platforms
throughout North America this October.
The 2014 production is from U.K. director Andrew Jones and Northbrook
Entertainment is the third release venture between Jones and Hannover House
this year. Of the eight new release
horror titles set for 2014 from Hannover House, ?Midnight Horror Show? is
expected to be the company?s top seller.
?What can we say about director Andrew Jones that hasn?t already
been widely reported?? said Eric
Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. ?He
is incredibly creative, talented and prolific, and certainly no other filmmaker
or director has provided three titles to Hannover House for release during the
same year. We are impressed with the
concept, performances and production values of his recent films and feel very
confident that our primary retailers will strongly support these releases,? he
concluded.
?The Midnight Horror Show? is a visual delight, set against a
macabre, traveling carnival run by a rather twisted family of performers. The mood is intense, gothic and unique, with
elements reminiscent of ?Magic?, ?Child?s Play? and ?The Rocky Horror Picture
Show.? Hannover House anticipates
placement of DVDs and Blu-Ray units into its top retail accounts, including Walmart,
Redbox, Netflix and Best Buy, as well as a strong launch into the various
Video-On-Demand platforms and portals.
Although the film is not slated for theatrical release, Hannover
House will take the unusual step of promoting the home video?s availability
through ?on-screen? ads to appear in movie theatres across the country. This theatrical exposure will promote the
street date and tag key accounts, with access provided through National CineMedia
and Screenvision.
?This is our third title from Andrew Jones, and looks to be our
best seller to yet,? said Parkinson. ?We
look forward to moving ahead on this major video campaign, as well as the
prospect of working with Andrew on some higher-profile, theatrical titles for
2015.?
Other notable horror and sci-fi releases for Hannover House for
2014, including titles already released this year are: ?Amityville Asylum? (Jan. 7) from Northbrook
Entertainment, ?Zombie Warz: Falls the Shadow? (April 22, Walmart) from
Dangerous Muse Productions; ?To.Get.Her: The Spring Break Murders? (summer)
from Film Sales Co. and director Erica Dunton; ?Ingloda: The Possession Within?
(summer) from On-Ride Entertainment; ?Gabrielle? (summer) from Royal Blue
Pictures; ?Valley of the Witch?
(September) from Northbrook Entertainment;
?The Honeymoon? (Q4) from
Lakefield Pictures; ?Grim? (Q4)
from All Channel Films and director Matty Johnson;
In addition to the core release activities of Hannover House in
the entertainment packaged goods market, the company is expanding in 2014 into
both the international arenas, and as a consolidator and outlet for
video-on-demand programming. The
international sales and financing activities are being handled through the
recently launched Medallion International Pictures, and will be active this May
at the Cannes Film Festival. Hannover House
will release material news next week regarding its international sales launch.
The Video-On-Demand venture, a consumer streaming portal under
VODwiz, Inc., will also launch this summer with more than 2,500 titles from
more than ten studio suppliers, including Hannover House. The VODwiz website and IPTV venture has been
described by the Media Analyst Group as ?the Netflix of independent studios?
based on the business model of offering movies for streaming both under a
?pay-per-transaction? basis, as well as through a monthly subscription model.
Hannover House remains active in book publishing as well, with
new release fiction and non-fiction books hitting the market this spring,
including ?Sable Shore? by James Danielson and ?The Verdict: Justice for John F.
Kennedy, Justice for America? by best-selling author Barr McClellan. The company?s first mainstream,
non-soundtrack audio CD title is also shipping this month, with the national
release of ?Lennon Bermuda,? a tribute album to the legendary John Lennon,
featuring tracks from Yoko Ono, Bryan Ferry and a notable list of international
and Caribbean recording artists.
Key retail accounts for Hannover House include Walmart Stores,
Inc., Redbox, Netflix, Barnes & Noble and thousands of independent video
retailers, schools, libraries and booksellers.
The company also sells entertainment products to a wide range of
internet sites, and services most major video-on-demand portals. The company
has been profitable for each of the past eighteen quarters, and feels that the
2014 and 2015 new activities will significantly increase both revenues and
bottom line results. Hannover House
stock is traded on the OTC Markets under ticker symbol: HHSE.
