The shocking new horror film Hellbilly Hollow will close the 20th edition of the New York City Horror Film Festival (NYCHFF), to be held at Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas (260 West 23rd Street) December 1 to 4, 2022.

After wowing fans with clips and guest speakers at Burbank’s Son of Monsterpalooza convention in October, Hellbilly Hollow will now make its World Premiere on Sunday, December 4 at the New York City Horror Film Festival, attended by director/actor Kevin Wayne and producer/actor Kurt Deimer. Rising rockstar Deimer also contributed songs to the film’s rousing heavy metal soundtrack. Hellbilly Hollow was produced by Andy Gould, who previously produced Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects, 31, Lords of Salem and Zombie’s two Halloween films, among others.

In Hellbilly Hollow, Deimer and Wayne play horribly scarred—and seriously twisted —brothers Bull and Tickles. The demented siblings run the titular haunted attraction, weaving in real murders and mayhem into their staged shenanigans. A team of YouTube paranormal activity seekers visits Bull’s backwoods attraction in search of a supernatural scoop, only to find more terror than they bargained for!

Deimer appeared in the blockbuster 2018 Halloween reboot. Hellbilly Hollow co-stars McKalin Hand (Black Lightning), Megan Weaver and Hallie Shepherd (The Werewolf Diaries). The film’s gruesome makeup FX were created by Jonathan Thornton (Oculus, Kill Theory).

Hellbilly Hollow will be joined by over 50 films from around the world at the New York City Horror Film Festival.
