MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY
A New Horror-centric Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) Service
MVD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP and RUE MORGUE have teamed up to launch the MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY,
a curated Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) service specializing in
Extreme Underground, Taboo and Cult Horror movies. Now genre fans can
gain access to a film library of shocking underground, outrageous gore,
creature features, cult classics and much more. Those with a taste for
the weirdest and wildest reaches of genre cinema will not be
disappointed!
"The
bigger platforms are catering to the masses and have gone puritanical
in many cases, making it very difficult for filmmakers to reach their
audience," says Ed Seaman, C.O.O. of MVD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP. "MVD has a
great deal of this type of content and when it is live on major
platforms, it performs really well. Maybe too well for some of the
mainstream platforms."
MIDNIGHT
MOVIE SOCIETY will also cater to more traditional horror fare as well,
pulling from the thousands of film hours from in MVD's vast catalog. In
addition, RUE MORGUE will also be finding and curating fresh and unusual
content for the service.
"As
larger streaming platforms continue to crack down on content, there's
an urgent need to create a space for boundary-pushing films unencumbered
by strangling content restrictions," said Adrianna Gober, Director of Programming.
"As a lifelong horror fan, I'm proud and excited to be working with MVD
Entertainment Group and genre champions Rue Morgue Magazine to bring
Midnight Movie Society to the masses."
"We're thrilled to be partnering with MVD to give fans access to films that are becoming increasingly harder to come by," commentedRodrigo Gudino, President of RUE MORGUE.
Rob
Hyman, MVD's Digital Director says, "Working with Rue Morgue is a dream
so far. They are a household name amongst horror fans, and we
anticipate our SVOD service and selection will be embraced by their
fans."
MIDNIGHT
MOVIE SOCIETY will be available for $4.99 per month, or $47.88 per year
subscription, and will launch on iOS, Roku and web on Friday the 13th, September 2019.
