“Easter Bloody Easter,” the directorial debut of Diane Foster, has set its VOD debut for March 26, 2024, just in time for the upcoming Easter holiday, which is observed this year on Sunday, March 31. The horror comedy will stream in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
“Easter Bloody Easter” is an outrageous horror-comedy set in Walburg, a small Texas town, where a series of violent murders has the locals on edge and scared for the upcoming “Easter-palooza.” The mayor refuses to cancel the festivities and argues that the famous “Egg Hunt” only happens once a year. Foster also stars in the film as Jeanie, a Texas housewife who fights a bloodthirsty Jackalope to save her husband and discover the creature’s true identity before her town is destroyed forever.
Foster is joined in the film by an ensemble cast featuring Kelly Grant, Allison Lobel, Zuri Starks, D’Andre Noiré, Zachary Kanner, Miles Cooper, and Gavin Lee. Allison Lobel wrote the script, and Diane Foster, Allison Lobel, Kelly Grant, Mitch Olson, Liana Montemayor, Rafi Jacobs, and Will Amato produced the film.
“I am excited for families and friends to add watching ‘Easter Bloody Easter’ to their holiday traditions,” said Foster. “As the first installment in the franchise, this film is a quirky murder mystery that brings to Easter what it has been missing—an unforgettable movie Monster and a chance to laugh, scream, and sing along, just like ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show.'”
“Easter Bloody Easter” was awarded the ReFrame Stamp, an initiative from Women in Film, The Sundance Institute, and IMDB, recognizing the project as a gender-balanced production.
Foster adds, “With over 95% of our ‘Easter Bloody Easter’ team as female-identifying, we are so honored to be recognized for gender parity and for fulfilling our mission and commitment to equality and inclusion.”
There are over 75 pieces of original music in “Easter Bloody Easter” and 10 full songs. Award-winning BMI Composer Mark Vogel worked tirelessly with Foster to create the beat and rhythm of the fictional Walburg, Texas. Each film character has its own melody, including the Jackalope and the Demon Bunnies, with their own musical theme. WallyBird Productions will also be releasing five music videos from songs featured in the film.
The film’s soundtrack will be available on Spotify on March 20 and as a collector’s vinyl record.
An exclusive World Premiere Screening will be held at the Landmark Nuart Theater in Los Angeles on March 21. Pre-orders are available now on iTunes/Apple TV.
