‘Tis the season for haunt enthusiasts! Whether it’s frequenting a highly produced setup like Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights or visiting much smaller local scare-house establishments, October gets most people lit for standing in long lines to get some real-life spooky jump scares. But if you want to experience the fun without leaving the comfort of your home, Breaking Glass Pictures has you covered with the release of Hayride to Hell, directed by Dan Lantz (Alice and the Vampire Queen) and starring two horror icons—Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, The Devil’s Rejects) and Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th & Hatchet franchises).
Farmer Sam (Moseley) is attempting to enjoy another fun harvest season hosting a haunted hayride and selling harvest goods on his family farm in Willis County, so he can make an honest living. But not everyone has Halloween season hype; some are more interested in shutting down his farm due to bank loans or simply just not liking the super sweet small business owner. Or probably because this town just seems like it’s infested with insufferable assholes.
Led by Sherrif Jubel (Hodder), the well-to-do local elected officials attempt to close down Sam’s farm, even going as far as trying to kill him (accidentally), but luckily only send him to the hospital instead of the grave. Sam does not take this attack lying down, literally, and constructs a plan for vengeance against his enemies to keep his family’s legacy farm operational.
The land has been in his family forever, so he’s doing whatever he can to keep that ownership intact. Plus, he’s literally done nothing to bring this type of nuclear heat on him. Told you, this town has more assholes than a proctologist sees in a week. Like the aptly named Karen (Denise Parella, Sacrum Vindictae) and her scummy injury lawyer hubby Dick Singleton (Jared Delaney, Mare of Easttown), who goes hard in the paint with catchphrases like “Give me a call and ask for ‘Dick’” and “If you don’t have Richard Singleton on your side, you ain’t got ‘Dick.'”
But Sam’s not alone in his quest for vengeance, with both family and some local friendly allies assisting in his cause. His loyal, reliable backup team is spearheaded by Budge (Cedric Casimiro) who proves you most certainly do not want to fuck with Belize.
