Play Hooky Coming to DVD October 21st

New York, NY -- Wild Eye Releasing, a longtime sponsor of the PollyGrind Film Festival, has announced the upcoming October 21 DVD and VOD release of Frank S. Petrilli's Play Hooky. A hit among critics and audiences, the film took home the Most Innovative Film award at the PollyGrind Film Festival and is the first film to be released on Wild Eye's PollyGrind Presents label. Wicked Channel calledPlay Hooky "the best found footage film of 2014". 

Wild Eye CEO Rob Hauschild said, "Wild Eye is dedicated to giving independents like Play Hooky a position in the mainstream through traditional distribution and PollyGrind is ground zero for discovering true independent talent. Joining forces was the perfect step to propel both our missions."

Five high school friends skip class in hopes of finding the perfect spot to party. They chose the wrong place. Against all warnings, they break into an abandoned mental hospital, notorious for reports of ghost sightings, satanic rituals and demon possessions. Now, armed only with a camera, they are trapped inside, haunted and hunted by something they cannot stop, reason with, or describe. The camera captures every last breath in the fight for their lives.

The Disco Exorcist and Mold! Now Available on Collector's Edition VHS

New York, NY - Wild Eye Releasing, one of the first genre labels to embrace the retro format, is excited to announce that two of their best-selling titlesare now available on VHS as part of their ongoing partnership with neo-VHS pioneers Horror Boobs. Richard Griffin's The Disco Exorcist and Neil Meschino's Mold! have been released as limited collector's edition VHS tapes and VHS/DVD combo packs with exclusive new art.

From the makers of Murder University and Exhumed comes this blood, boob and bellbottom-soaked tribute to 70s exploitation sleaze that Twitch calls "Brutal, Blasphemous - a howl from start to finish." Rex Romanski is a 1970s disco swinger who loves and leaves the wrong woman - the wicked black magic priestess Rita Maria. And now it's up to Rex to undo the scorned Rita's rampage of revenge, murder and destruction before she claims more lives, and possesses the soul of the woman he loves.

Neil Meschino's Mold! is a gloriously gooey take on 1980s sic-fi horror classics like Street Trash and Night of the Creeps. A classified government project is underway to create a new weapon - a fast-growing strain of mold designed to wipe out cocoa fields - the only problem is, this mold also feeds on human flesh. And when the murderous mildew is mysteriously released in a secret lab, it wages its own war on a group of unsuspecting scientists and military officials, who are forced to fight their way to safety while trying to contain the mold before it is unleashed on the world.
