Hellbilly Hollow lands on TVOD and DVD after theatrical run

HELLBILLY HOLLOW, a Southern slasher from actor-director Kevin Wayne and rock artist Kurt Deimer, is now available on TVOD and DVD after a red-carpet premiere and sold-out limited theatrical run. The film was shot at a real haunted attraction in Vincent, Alabama, and leans into practical scares, original music and a killer-sibling story built for potential expansion.

Why it matters: - HELLBILLY HOLLOW moves from theaters to home viewing with a TVOD release and DVD availability starting Oct. 27. - The film is built around a real haunted attraction in Vincent, Alabama, giving the project a built-in setting that could support future franchise growth. - The release adds another indie genre title to a market that rewards recognizable settings, practical effects and music-driven branding.
