TROY, MI - Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment Company and the acknowledged leader in horror DVD programming, announces the acquisition of writer/director Dante Tomaselli's latest horror film Satan's Playground as the latest addition to Anchor Bay's unparalleled collection of blood-chilling classics.
"Anchor Bay has always set the bar for releasing contemporary and classic horror films on DVD," noted Tom Bambard, Horror Brand Director, Anchor Bay Entertainment. "Adding Satan's Playground to our library was a very easy call to make."
Drawing on the classic horror film styles of the 1970s and 1980s, Satan's Playground is independent horror director Dante Tomaselli's much anticipated third feature film. This visually dazzling, supernatural shocker chronicles an average family's spine-tingling odyssey in New Jersey's legendary Pine Barrens. When their car breaks down en route to a wilderness camping retreat, the unsuspecting travelers find themselves terrorized by a mysterious supernatural presence. Seeking help and safety in this desolate wooded region, they're forced to confront a very real horror when the bizarre Mrs. Leeds and her equally unhinged children offer shelter from the unseen force lurking in the forbidding countryside. Trapped in a surreal nightmare, they must choose between the known and the unknown as they try to survive in Satan's Playground...
Satan's Playground boasts a veritable who's who of independent horror including Ellen Sandweiss ("The Evil Dead"), Felissa Rose ("Sleepaway Camp"), Edwin Neal (the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), Irma St. Paule ("Psychos In Love") and Ron Millkie ("Friday The 13th").
Anchor Bay Entertainment will release Satan's Playground on DVD in Summer 2006. Anticipated bonus features include audio commentary, exclusive behind the scenes footage, trailers, stills and much, much more.
