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.
What happened: - HELLBILLY HOLLOW is now available on TVOD/streaming, with DVD copies also on sale for collectors. - The film follows a red-carpet premiere on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip and a sold-out limited theatrical run. - Actor-director Kevin Wayne and rock artist Kurt Deimer star as the killer siblings Tickles and Bull. - Wayne directed the film and also plays Tickles. - Deimer produced and plays Bull.
The details: - The story follows a team of paranormal YouTubers who travel into the Alabama backwoods to film at a haunted attraction the night before Halloween. - The group encounters Tickles, described as a disfigured, childlike clown, and Bull, his manipulative caretaker brother. - Local thrill-seekers join the investigators in becoming targets of the siblings’ violent games. - The movie was shot entirely on location at the real HELLBILLY HOLLOW haunted attraction. - The production showcases the attraction’s haunted barn, hayride and scare zones. - Deimer’s soundtrack contribution includes eight original songs. - Roy Mayorga provided the original score. - Tom Boykin handled sound design. - Mike Denard engineered practical carnival-style set pieces including Wack-a-Troll, High Striker, Acid Darts and a Car Dunk sequence. - The cast includes Danny Vinson, Sandra Ellis Lafferty, Megan Alexandrea Weaver, Hallie Shepherd, Trey Miller and Keller Fornes. - David Brower served as director of photography. - The film was written by Bernadette Chapman. - The executive producers are Michael T.

Between the lines: - The film leans on practical effects, location authenticity and original music rather than a purely digital or effects-heavy approach. - Wayne said he wanted to make a Southern horror story that is sinister, twisted, atmospheric and character-driven, not just dependent on jump scares and gore. - Deimer said the creative team is positioning the film as the start of a larger series built around the place, the siblings and the culture around them. - The home release broadens the audience beyond the theatrical run and gives genre fans a way to watch the film on demand.
What's next: - The filmmakers are signaling a possible film series centered on the HELLBILLY HOLLOW location and its two central characters. - More exposure could come from the TVOD launch, DVD sales and continued use of the trailer and press materials. - Media screening links are available by request.
The bottom line: - HELLBILLY HOLLOW is now being positioned as both a standalone slasher and a potential franchise seed, with a real haunted attraction at the center of the pitch.
