Witches' Night
Gravitas Ventures has announced the Video-On-Demand (VOD) release of four new horror films; Desert of Blood, June 9, The Legend Trip and Witches’ Night. The movies will be released January 1, 2009, and are represented by Mark Steven Bosko of The Bosko Group.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for the filmmakers and fright film fans alike,” said Bosko. “The VOD landscape is perfectly suited for giving horror aficionados the kind of unedited, high-quality scares and gore they demand. It is also an amazing way to get the work created by a new breed of storytellers to the masses.”
The four films in the deal include:
• Desert of Blood - A character-driven horror film about a vampire who escapes from fifty years of captivity beneath the Mexican desert. On his quest for vengeance, he is unexpectedly sidetracked when he falls in love with a young woman visiting from the States. His efforts to deny the monster inside him ultimately prove hopeless, as his ever-growing rage finally triggers a bloody terror spree.

• June 9 - “June 9” tells the story of 17 year-old Derek Boggman and his friends on a search for some harmless fun at the end of the school year. The group of teens, known as the “Boston Mills 5,” carelessly parade along a mischievous journey of caught-on-camera pranks. But on their quest to find even bigger thrills while visiting a legendary haunted and now deserted city, something else finds them first. The teens were never heard from again...until now.

• The Legend Trip - A local legend turns into a horrifying reality for a group of young grad students seeking to debunk a Wisconsin haunted house. Written and Directed by Jason Satterfield and shot in Wisconsin, “The Legend Trip” will be available on DVD via Rivercoast Films on February 10, 2009.

• Witches’ Night - Director Paul Traynor modeled “Witches' Night” after the successful fright films in the 70s, with characters to remember and relate to. "To me, the 70’s were the real heyday of horror, and those are the films we hoped to emulate,” said Traynor. He describes his movie as a good, old-fashioned horror tale full of booze, babes, bodies, and blood. For more information, and to purchase a special edition DVD, visit the official movie website for “Witches’ Night” at www.witchesnight.com.
The Gravitas VOD deal will make the package of horror films available to more than 8 million viewers across the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Gravitas programs 15 films per month to dozens of cable, satellite, and telco VOD providers including Charter Communications, DISH Network, RCN and Verizon FIOS.
