DENVER, June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready for a
screaming/laughing/covering-your-eyes, gore-splattered, good night
this August when horror-comedy "Blood
Fest" comes to cinemas across the nation. Described
by Nightmare on Film Street as "an already wild party where
someone has spiked the punch," and with Dread Central noting
it "could become the party horror film of the year," horror
aficionados will want to mark their calendars for this one-night
event. In addition to the full-length feature, which premiered at
SXSW 2018 and screened to raves at the Cleveland, Fantaspoa and Edinburgh
International Film Festivals, attendees will also enjoy exclusive
behind-the-scenes access.
Tickets for "Blood Fest" can be purchased at
www.FathomEvents.com or participating box offices.
Fathom Events and pioneering media and entertainment company
Rooster Teeth bring "Blood Fest" to more than 600 select
U.S. cinemas for one night on Tuesday,
August 14 at 7:30 p.m. local time, through Fathom's
Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater
locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and
participants are subject to change).
"Blood Fest" follows fans who flock to a
festival celebrating the most iconic horror movies, only to
discover that the charismatic showman (Egerton) behind the event
has a diabolical agenda. As festival attendees start dying off,
three teenagers (Kay, Gabriel, Batalon), more schooled in
horror-film clichés than practical knowledge about neutralizing
psycho killers, must band together and battle through various
madmen and monstrosities to survive.
Written and directed by Owen
Egerton ("Follow," author of the novel "The Book of
Harold, the Illegitimate Son of God"), the movie stars
Robbie Kay (Peter Pan in
"Once Upon a Time," "Hannibal Rising"), Seychelle Gabriel ("The Spirit," "Falling
Skies," "Weeds"), Jacob
Batalon ("Avengers: Infinity War," "Spiderman:
Homecoming") and Rooster Teeth's own Barbara Dunkelman ("RWBY") with
Tate Donovan ("Manchester by the Sea," "Argo") and featuring
a cameo by Zachary Levi
("Thor: Ragnarok," TV's "Chuck").
"After working with the talented team at Rooster Teeth on
'RWBY' and 'Let's Play LIVE,' we are proud to partner with
them again for a new kind of event with 'Blood Fest,'" Fathom
Events CEO Ray Nutt said. "Fans
coast-to-coast are in for a real treat with this fun spin on the
horror genre."
"We're excited to once again partner with Fathom and allow our
community to experience an extra special Blood Fest event, with
never before seen behind-the-scenes footage they won't want to
miss!" said Matt Hullum, Rooster
Teeth CEO and Blood Fest Executive Producer.
