Farmer Sam is doing everything in his power to save the family farm. While that may not sound like the premise for a horror move, that’s exactly whatHayride to Hellis. Lead by horror legendsBill Moseley(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II) andKane Hodder(Jason Voorhees in multipleFriday the 13thfranchise projects), the film follows the story of a farmer who refuses to sell the farm that has been in his family for two centuries. As the trailer teases, Farmer Sam has a plan, and he won’t go out without a fight. Watch as he exacts his bloody revenge on unscrupulous local town-folk, including crooked cops, commissioners, and the villainous Sheriff Jubel (Hodder) below.
While the gory death scenes may all be fictional, there is some real-life inspiration behindHayride to Hell.The film was co-written by Robert Lange and Kristina Chadwick, and shot at Lange’s (aka Farmer Bob) Lavern, Pennsylvania, Sugartown Strawberries Farm, which has been in his family since 1896. The film premiered in Phoenixville, a town nearby Lange’s family farm, late last year. While discussing the horror film with press, Lange shared that profits would benefit his farm,telling his local ABC affiliate:
“This farm has been my family since 1896. One of the reasons to do this, and where my passion came from, was I wanted to try to have a successful movie that could generate income that potentially could be put in an endowment for the farm.”
