Tulsa, OK –VCI Entertainment President Robert A. Blair is pleased to announce a distribution agreement with Next Monkey Horror Films to release their new horror movie "The Stitcher" in the fall of 2007. Darla Enlow of Next Monkey has stated that they are finishing up pre-production of the film and should start production by mid February.
Enlow was one of the winners in VCI's annual short film contest with the short film called "Carthage".

VCI recently asked Darla Enlow for a short description about that movie she has given the following: "Something strange is happening in this eerie backwoods town. An ordinary town that could be miles from your own home. Inspired by true events, a group of friends must survive the weekend in order to escape the terror that is beyond their imagination. Desperate and fearing for their lives, the horror surges when a legendary killer wants something they all posses. They soon find out the town is not what it seems, and with no hope of rescue, they must find their way out before they fall victim to "The Stitcher's" obsession. This blood curdling story is a shock a minute horror rush, that will make you never want to wear certain pieces of clothing again."

With the help of Next Monkey, VCI has now released a teaser trailer on the internet. You can see it on VCI's Myspace account by clicking here.

The Ultimate Biker Flick returns to Northville for a DVD Premiere

Party celebrates the DVD release of the Cult classic shot in Northville Michigan

October 31, 2006 marked not only the release of Northville Cemetery Massacre to DVD, but also helped celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of this international cult phenomenon. Northville Cemetery Massacre achieved international cult recognition. Influenced by the tall pages of Hunter S. Thompson, Dennis Hopper's "Easy Rider" and Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" and reflecting the spirit of the times, these independent filmmakers chose a biker theme and freedom of the open road.

VCI Entertainment and director Tom Van Dyke, hosted the event to over 500 plus bikers and fans with the help of Genitti's Hole in the Wall. To celebrate, bikers from across the state and beyond gathered at Genitti's Hole in the Wall in Northville on Halloween night. Some of the members of the Detroit motorcycle club the Scorpions, who starred in the movie, also attended this all-star event – with red carpet included.

The town of Northville was greeted (and some would say startled) by the thunderous sounds of hundreds of motorcycles roaring in the quiet town on a cold fall night. The main street into Northville was sectioned off for the bikers to have front row parking during the "Cult" event. Once inside the stars of the movie and the director were welcomed by devoted members of the Scorpions and fans of the films.Christopher Rowe, PR Director for VCI, was at the event for a first hand experience. "Imagine being a biker living by your own rules, and getting used to people looking at you with fear and contempt anywhere you rode. Then all of the sudden you are walking down a red carpet, into a building were hundreds of fans and friends are yelling and congratulating you for just being who you are!" Rowe also stated "Some of the bikers were not even fazed by their "Cult" status, but you could see a few that had a bit of mist in their eyes seeing the respect they so righteously deserved. But you won't get any of them to admit to that!"

Rowe added that the event was a huge success for VCI Entertainment as well; with 1500 DVD's being sold at the Premiere. Tom Van Dyke spoke on behalf of himself and his co-director William Dear (who wasn't able to show due to a filming commitment). Tom stood on the stage of the theatre and thanked the fans for their loyalty and the Scorpions for their help in the film. There were three showings that night (6, 8, and 10) and each show was completely packed. You could hear the bikers and friends yelling at the screen reliving moments as if they were yesterday.
