[August 25, 2023 – Los Angeles, CA] The Horror Collective will release the festival favorite horror-comedy #ChadGetsTheAxe on major on-demand and digital platforms next Friday, September 1.
Adapted from an award-winning short with the same title, #ChadGetsTheAxe follows four social media influencers as they live-stream their trip to Devil’s Manor, former home to a Satanic Cult. Things don’t go well. And as the violence ramps up… So do the views.
Directed by Travis Bible, who co-wrote with Kemerton Hargrove, and starring Spencer Harrison Levin (Black Jesus), Michael Bonini (New Amsterdam), Taneisha Figueroa (Duck World), Cameron Vitosh (Walker), Brandon Doyle (Murder Made Me Famous), and Shun Hagins (Snitch).
#ChadGetsTheAxe is a fun commentary on influencer culture and the hunger for popularity,” commented Shaked Berenson, Entertainment Squad’s CEO, “It’s a great fit for The Horror Collective audience and a perfect follow-up to Jeff Ryan’s Mean Spirited, another Frightfest favorite we released earlier this year.&Rdquo;
Director Travis Bible said, “It’s been so fun watching all the scares and laughs with festival crowds and I can’t wait to share the film with a wider audience.&Rdquo;
The film premiered at FilmQuest in October 2022 and Internationally at FrightFest Glasgow in March 2023 where it was well received by critics.
#ChadGetsTheAxe was produced by Travis Bible, Eric Gibson, Kemerton Hargrove, and Frances O’Hanlon, while Dream Big Group serves as executive producers
