To make your month of ghosts and ghouls complete, we invited you to check out Black Holler, the Nashville-produced horror throwback that was recently named the winner of Best Feature Film at the Crimson Screen Horror Fest. The movie is now STREAMING for FREE on Amazon Prime. Click here or the image above to check it out.
For the April 2, 2018 edition of the Fringe Radio Show, host AL-D took a call from Heidi Ervin (writer and producer of Black Holler) and played music by It’s Like That Records, BEZ (of Lucky Southern Devils), and Bruce Ervin (from Black Holler soundtrack).
For the October 9, 2017 edition of the Fringe Radio Show, host E.T. will be rolling out a tribute to the legendary Tom Petty, who passed on one week ago. The show will also preview this week’s Friday the 13th events at the Cobra in East Nashville, including a special screening of Black Holler which will warm the night up for Meant for the Milk Crate.
The Fringe Radio Show will go live Monday night at 6:00pm (Central) on Radio Free Nashville 103.7 FM (which is also streaming online at RadioFreeNashville.org).
In the wake of films like Scream and Cabin in the Woods, you’d think more stock characters in horror flicks would have some idea of the peril their behavior puts them in. But where would the fun be in that? The all-local crew behind Black Holler is hip to this quandary, and the film revels in the campiness of familiar situations for maximum comedic effect. To wit, the plot features a bunch of cheese-addled horn-dog students who go traipsing into the woods like so much machete fodder, and it’s up to Laquita Johnson (played by the outstanding Tamiko Robinson Steele, who recently starred in Nashville Rep’s production of A Raisin in the Sun opposite Eddie George) to save them from the terrors that await. You’ve got your choice of screenings for the film’s world premiere on Monday: Come early for the Fancy Screening, complete with (bloody) red carpet, photo ops and a talkback, or come late for the Rowdy Screening, which promises Rocky Horror-style audience participation.
