Horrorfest 4 Event Poster And Schedule

In November 2006, After Dark Films launched "8 Films to Die For: After Dark Horrorfest", an annual weekend-long theatrical event, which featured eight never seen before horror films in 500 theatres across the country. The "8 Films to Die For: After Dark Horrorfest" was a new concept intended to launch a new brand and create the ultimate horror film event of the year which could be repeated and grow annually. Over its three day weekend (November 17-19, 2006), Horrorfest was #10 in the top ten films nationwide for that weekend, grossing over $2,500,000 with an impressive $5,000+ screen average for the weekend. (Horrorfest was released on just 488 screens). Of all the other titles in the top ten that weekend, the next smallest screen count was 1,850 screens. The concept was to create value for titles that otherwise would have been direct-to-video releases which would have shipped on average 25,000 units per title, and in all other ancillary markets. By theatrically marketing the "Horrorfest" brand and event, greatly increased value was created for all titles.

Seven of the "8 Films to Die For" were released by Lionsgate, on March 27th, and received an immediate, fantastic response from both retailers and consumers, shipping over 1,100,000 units, almost ten times what would have shipped without the branding. Now an annual event many of the first year titles will be re-packaged in larger DVD boxed sets creating expanding life for the titles.
