We’re about a week away from Arrow Video releasing the American Horror Project Vol. 1, which is a collection of three lesser known American horror films. The idea behind this project is to take a deep dive into the depths of American horror history and put more of a focus on the films that don’t get the same love as your Halloween and Friday the 13th.
In anticipation of this release, Arrow has provided Bloody Disgusting with an exclusive sizzle reel to let viewers know what they’re getting into. Check it out below and get a sneak peek at the treats that await you!
