“Horror films were meant to be seen on the big screen.” says Bruce Eisen, myCinema’s Director of Content Strategy and Acquisition. “We are excited to be working with Epic Pictures to bring five new and unique Dread Central titles to cinema owners and horror fans across the country. Horror films continue to drive movie-goers into the theater. It’s the perfect time to expand the myCinema catalogue by partnering with a company that knows their audience.”

myCinema, which was launched out of Cinemacon 2018, is the platform within NAGRA that facilitates more freedom between venue owners and content providers, giving cinemas the power to personally curate and dictate their programming.

The first collaboration between the two takes place this October when a new Dread title will be released theatrically every week, putting a spotlight on our celebrated genre program. The slate includes the sci-fi thriller THE FARE, directed by D.C. Hamilton, hotly anticipated classic horror revisit CANDY CORN, directed by Josh Hasty and starring horror icons P.J. Soles (Carrie, Halloween) and Tony Todd (Candy Man), Tom Botchii’s feature debut ARTIK, and the bigfoot horror HOAX, from Matt Allen.

“Our national theatrical partnership with NAGRA is the next step in the evolution of Epic and Dread.” says Epic Pictures CEO, Patrick Ewald. “Our filmmakers ask for the best possible release for their films and this amazing opportunity with NAGRA allows them an incredible and unique opportunity to provide Dread horror fans with a true theatrical experience unlike anything else.”
