Are you going to have a good time?   A good time reliving fond memories?  Of course, it goes without saying that you are … and on Nov. 10, just about the time when there is a chill in the fall night air, Wild Eye Releasing takes you down memory lane with the long, long, long overdue sequel to a VHS-era horror classic.

 

Wild Eye Releasing, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, announced this past week that director Mark Polonia, who broke through in 1987 with the direct-to-video VHS gore fest of Spatter Farm — made with his brother John and Todd Smith — is back on Nov. 10 with a sequel that was a short 33 years in the making, Return to Splatter Farm.

 

Briefly, Splatter Farm featured Mark and John Polonia as twin brothers, Alan and Joseph, who are sent to spend the summer at their Aunt Lacey’s farm.   Aunt Lacey (played by Marion Costly, who also appeared in the Polonia’s Night Crawlers) is a sick sexual deviant, and her “farm hand” (Todd Smith — Lethal Nightmare) is a flesh-eating serial killer.   It was just a matter of time before somebody would snap at the farm.

 

Some 50 films later, Mark Polonia (along with longtime collaborator Jeff Kirkendall) takes us back to the rural tranquility of Pennsylvania (filmed in and around Stony Fork … about 30 miles west of Scranton) and the notorious “Death Farm,” which has been inherited by a young woman named Bobbi (Danielle Donahue — Amityville Island, Bigfoot Vs. Zombies, Queen Crab, Jurassic Prey, etc.).

She knows of its “history” and that makes it cool for her to invite her friends out to the place for a party-hardy weekend to celebrate her newfound fortune.   Yes, genre fans, that little gathering is the new victim pool and it won’t take long for this “pool” to be running blood red.

 

Mark it down, Return to Splatter Farm on DVD from Wild Eye Releasing on Nov. 10.   

 

Bonus goodies include commentary from co-directors Mark Polonia and Jeff Kirkendall and a behind-the-scenes featurette.
