The American Genre Film Archive announced today that they have joined in "a theatrical partnership" with Shout! Factory to distribute fifty film classics from Shout! Factory’s cult classic movie library to theaters in 2019. These movies include fan favorites such as Bob Clark's BLACK CHRISTMAS, Joe Dante's PIRANHA, and David Cronenberg's RABID along with other flicks such as THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II, CHOPPING MALL, DREAMSCAPE, HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP, WILLARD, and ROCK N’ ROLL HIGH SCHOOL.
AGFA Head of Business Affairs Alicia Coombs.
We could not be more thrilled about this partnership. Shout! Factory's catalog is so diverse, and every title is a winner — both for us as fans, and for the cinema-going public.
Mark Balsam of Shout! Factory.
I greatly admire the care and attention afforded each film by AGFA. That focus will serve each of these classic films wonderfully.
