North American Premiere

Prestonburg, Kentucky is a small blue-collar town with hunting, fishing, coal mining, and two of the biggest names in online horror talk radio: Wes Vance and Aaron Frye (aka “The Creepy Kentuckian” and “Uncle Bill” respectively). The two self-proclaimed “redneck geeks” bonded at a young age while spending their weekends devouring horror films. They now use their extensive horror knowledge to record a weekly podcast on Deadpit.com and have found a worldwide audience through their candid conversation, quick wit, and lots of swearing. What started as an outlet to express their love for horror films has evolved into an online industry with millions of followers, a modest revenue stream, and the ability to talk to their childhood heroes. With an interview of John Carpenter in the can, can they get George Romero? Follow Wes and Aaron as they record their show, play in their metal band Hellord, and attend horror film events (including Milwaukee’s It Came From Lake Michigan Film Festival). Director Kelly Marcott is a former Wisconsin resident.
