London, U.K / ACCESSWIRE / April 25, 2014 / 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.
