"DEATH HOUSE" will now launch on Friday, March 2 with a special media event and public opening at the Regency Plant 16 in Van Nuys, California. The Friday night showing will feature nearly twenty cast members, along with principal crew and horror-industry media. Producer Rick Finkelstein will speak briefly before the first screening, and will dedicate the film's launch to the memory of writer/actor Gunnar Hansen ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre") who passed away in November 2015 shortly after completing the first draft screenplay for "DEATH HOUSE." The film will also open on March 2 at the Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, PA, which will feature a Sunday evening special event and presentation by director B. Harrison Smith.
As with all theatrical releases for Hannover House, the company also controls the ancillary home video market, which (combined with Netflix / SVOD) are the real income sources for smaller independent films.
Since Going Public in 2010, 32 Consecutive Quarters of Revenues & Profitability out of 32
Successful, Experienced, Respected, Shareholder Friendly Management Dedicated to Building HHSE Based on Business Fundamentals Rather than Stock Promotion
SONY PICTURES HOME ENT. & DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES - HHSE has been working for over a year now with industry veteran ERIC DOCTOROW, who is best known for his 20+ years as President of Paramount Home Entertainment (a $-Billion+ Division), and more recently as C.E.O. of Random Media. Many current and upcoming HHSE titles will enjoy the distribution support through SONY as well as Video-On-Demand with The Orchard, and for selected titles, worldwide distribution with Sony Pictures International. HHSE / Medallion are maintaining the existing distribution pacts with other wholesalers - most notably Cinedigm. But for eligible and qualifying titles, the distribution access into Sony's powerhouse field sales force and distribution pipeline is something of a material development for HHSE. This move enables HHSE Management to focus on productions, acquisitions and theatrical release activities - and turn over the distraction and difficulties of home video distribution (as well as the cash-flow drain of video manufacturing and freight) to be handled under more beneficial terms.
The initial titles that will benefit under this new distribution pact are: DAISY WINTERS, THE ALGERIAN and BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD. There are other notable developments in motion with BONOBOS that will merit a separate blog or press announcement. But for now, here's a link to a behind-the-scenes look at the production of this film, and the woman behind the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in Africa:
We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...

Our Score: 4 out of 5 stars
Before we start, a quick question: are you a horror fan? If so, let me just drop a few names here for you to look over: Kane Hodder, Barbara Crampton, Bill Moseley, Dee Wallace, Camille Keaton, Michael Berryman, Tony Todd, Sid Haig, Adrienne Barbeau, Felissa Rose, Cortney Palm, Sean Whalen, Vernon Wells, Lloyd Kaufman, R. A. Mihailoff, Brinke Stevens, Debbie Rochon, Tony Moran and Gunnar Hansen.
Now if you are a true horror fan you should be losing my mind now! Am I right?These are absolutely legends in the business…and they ALL appear in the film “Death House” from writer/director, H. Harrison Smith. I have been following this film for years now as it was being called The Expendables of Horror! Well after finally getting a chance to see this film, I am happy to say that this film does not disappoint. “Death House” IS the Expendables of Horror! 90 minutes of non-stop genre fun! I found myself glued to ever scene!
Here is the official premise: “During an exclusive tour, a power breakdown inside a secret prison known as the Death House sends two agents fighting through a labyrinth of horrors while being pursued by a ruthless army of roaming inmates. As they fight to escape, the agents push toward the lowest depths of the facility where they learn a supernatural group of evil beings are their only chance for survival”.
“Death House” is based on an original idea from Gunner Hansen (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”). Being a hardcore horror fan, this film is a blast. Every scene you will see a new friendly face. The only thing holding this film back is lack of funds, otherwise this is sure to be instead cult classic. “Death House” doesn’t disappoint on the gore and packs some impressive practical effects. It also has humor matched with some solid suspense and a great score. You can tell that writer/director B. Harrison Smith is a horror fan just like us! He injects a fresh new life into the horror genre, while setting up a new franchise in the process. Prequel is in the works already! Read our interview here with writer/director B. Harrison Smith here!
Even though this film is filled with horror icons, the film is led by great new talent like Cody Longo and Cortney Palm, read our interview with her here. Cortney is a great actress and she deserves much more attention in Hollywood. We also had a chance to interview horror icon, Dee Wallace, and you can read it here. She is great in the film as Dr. Eileen Fletcher. Kane Hodder also kick some major ass as Sieg.. Hodder also has the new film, Victory Crowley, (aka “Hatchet 4”) this month! He is on fire in 2018!!
If you want to prove your role as a horror fan, you need to support this film and spread the word! “Death House” is breaking the odd and getting a limited theatrical release starting February 23rd in Regal Cinemas and Cinemark theaters across the country. Check their Facebook page to see if it is playing in a theatre by you…and if it is go see it!! You got to give it to the production company behind, “Death House”, Entertainment Factory for being behind this film. You can tell that this is a real labor of love, a lot of hard work went into this film and it deserves recognition. Films like this do not get theatrical release and yet they deserves it. It’s not perfect but it is fun and made by a horror fan FOR horror fans!

We now have full details on the film’s release strategy.
As we recently learned, Harrison Smith’s Death House, dubbed by fans as being “The Expendables of Horror,” will hit limited markets on February 23, following its big premiere in both New York and Los Angeles. We now know that the film will subsequently expand to 40 additional markets on March 2.
Then, in April, Death House will arrive on pay per view and Netflix, as well as in Redbox. It’ll also receive its foreign release in April, ahead of a DVD/Blu-ray on June 5.
Check out the handy chart below for all the info.
*UPDATE: We’ve just been informed that the Death House LA premiere has been pushed to March 2nd, the PA premiere has been moved to March 4th, and the NY premiere has been cancelled. The film’s two major expansions are now set for March 9th and March 16th.*
Death House, written by Smith and the late Gunnar Hansen, stars a long list of legends including Kane Hodder, Barbara Crampton, Dee Wallace, Tony Todd, Bill Moseley, Adrienne Barbeau, Michael Berryman, Felissa Rose and Sid Haig.
In the film…
“Two federal agents fight their way through nine levels of Hell inside a secret prison known as the Death House. A facility-wide prison break turns their flight into a tour of horrors as they push toward the ultimate evil housed in the lowest depths of the earth.”
Updated Film Library Evaluation ($28,000,000) ~ .035 Per Share
FILM & TV LIBRARY (incl. VODWIZ)* 23,565,337
* HHSE Film Library Valuation is currently being updated to include over 145 DVD titles previously not listed in the 2010 report, along with 23 titles since expired or discontinued. No value has yet been assessed on the 2,215 titles under license for the VODWIZ streaming portal other than those capitalizedand otherwise recoupable amounts due to Company for mastering and preparation costs on titles.

Though a little wordy. In the HHSE Filing below, HHSE feels the new Film Library Evaluation should be $28,000,000. The Evaluators completing the New, Updated HHSE Film Library Evaluation determined it is worth more than $28,000,000.
Item 11 A1-A6 – Supplemental Disclosures.
i). The Company has completed the written and disclosure portions of a Form 10-12(g) Registration Statement, which was previously planned for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or Jan. 15, 2016, subject to the completion of outside audits by a PCAOB licensed auditing firm. The Company has since engaged a qualifying auditing firm and participated in extensive interviews and reviews of filings, reports and back-up materials. As disclosed to shareholders on the HHSE Company blog site on January 30, 2016, the new auditors have made several determinations of material deficiencies in the financials for the Company, specifically, 1). The value of the Film Library relative to all other assets (and the issues of the five-year-aging of the prior Film Library Valuation report, the changing marketplace for physical video sales as compared to the growing market for digital streaming, and the significant exclusions of key titles from the prior Film Library) and 2). The need for Internal Controls and Compliance Documentation that would conform to standards prescribed under Sarbanes-Oxley Act 404. While technically not “advising” the Company on how to conduct internal controls or instructing the Company to conduct a more thorough and current Film Library Valuation Study, the new auditors did clarify that not addressing or rectifying these issues would result in significant comments by the auditors to the Form 10-12(g) audit portion, and this could result in commentary and non-compliance following S.E.C. review of the registration filing. Having the Company’s largest balance sheet asset reviewed under more recent valuation, and having the Company conform to widely accepted Internal Controls Procedures, would be a requirement for the auditors, unless the Company was willing to proceed with significant auditor’s footnote commentary on these issues. Rather than risk having another obstacle impact the S.E.C. acceptance of the Company’s registration, management has taken the steps to conform to these higher disclosure and operational standards.Company anticipates that the updated Form 10-12(g) Registration Filing, including 2-years of full-year audits and a revised and updated Film Library Valuation Report will be submitted to the S.E.C. in the near-term future, subject to the completion of the new Film Library Valuation (it should be noted that Company is seeking to obtain a lowered valuation than the initial figure determined by the new Library Evaluators, which contains sales forecasts for titles greater than Company Management’s estimates. It is Company’s position that a Library Valuation that is significantly higher than forecasts based on Company’s existing, internal self-distribution apparatus, could elevate shareholder expectations higher than management’s more conservative forecasts. While the higher sales values provided by the first Library Valuation report have as a premise the assumption that HHSE will align itself with one of the Major Studios in the coming year, there can be no assurance that such a deal will occur, and as such, management feels that the current Film Library Valuation should reflect existing distribution channels and revenues, and conform closer to management’s estimated current value of $28-mm. A review of sales activities at the Cannes Film Festival and Marche du Film and other relevant agenda items affecting the Company’s Film Library Valuation have occurred over the summer (2016) and the Company feels confident of having reached a consensus with the valuators on the current and anticipated value of each title, by media income stream.

HHSE
No dilution! How many penny stocks can say that?
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH IN 2018 AND BEYOND?
* We believe that HHSE is "one film away" from being a major independent studio. All it takes is any one of the many titles in our current release queue to become a surprise box officer performer such as "Lady Bird" or "Get Out" and we are suddenly a $100-MM company.
* We have an impressive slate of titles for 2018 and 2019 - and two terrific distribution partners for North America (Cinedigm Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - as well as our direct relationships with all of the major theatre exhibition chains. Our "lower-end" titles are much higher profile than in past years... and our higher-end titles are now genuine theatrical caliber contenders. We are positioned for the proverbial lucky break that happens when the right film is released at the right time...
* Our recently re-focused Theatrical Release model is delivering huge benefits to our ancillary revenues... and our new partnerships with indie labels is providing access for the VODWIZ streaming venture, which truly could become "the tail that wagged the dog" for HHSE shareholders.
HHSE Board of Directors approves Uplisting / Registration Costs
Dear HHSE Friends, Followers & Shareholders: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Hannover House, Inc., held on Thursday, October 19 at 11:00-am, the Board voted unanimously to immediately reinstate the prior filing activities to register the company's stock shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10). The Board also authorized the following budgetary expenditures - to be funded from ongoing cash flows - to promptly complete this task:

Based on current cash flow and resources - and considering the anticipated benefits to the Company and its shareholders for HHSE as a fully registered equity - the Board has authorized the immediate implementation of this plan and the authorization of these expenditures.
The Board believes that Fully Registered Shares will be more attractive to HHSE program suppliers and investors - as well as to institutional investors and hedge funds - and that pursuing these activities now is a good use of ongoing cash flows.
SELDOM DOES A $0.10-$0.30 STOCK TRADE BELOW $0.02. TREMENDOUSLY UNDERVALUED. A GREAT BUYING OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE NOT ALREADY LOADED WITH SHARES AND READY FOR THE TAKE-OFF.
It Doesn't Take Much to Double or Triple the HHSE Share Price - Look at the market-cap spike for HHSE stock earlier this year (seen as June, 2017). This increase in PPS was due to shareholder excitement about the prospect that a merger with Crimson Forest would provide HHSE with high-profile films to distribute. The growth in PPS was not based on any increase in revenues (in fact, the time-distraction of the Crimson merger caused many 2017 releases to be delayed). The PPS spike was driven solely by enthusiasm.

No Dilution in 2 1/2+ Years. No Plans To Ever Again!
First of all, we'd like to point out that Hannover House is unlike most any other "OTC Pinksheet" listed company. We have been operating continuously since 1993 (24-years) and have been reporting to the OTC Markets since Dec. 2009 (8-years). Statistically, most OTC listed equities are flashes-in-the-pan time wise... lots of Stock Hype / I.R. Promotions, insider share dumps, and quick closures. That's definitely not HHSE.
NEW DISTRIBUTION PARTNERSHIPS
- Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
- Cinedigm Entertainment
- Random Media (the indie studio headed by former Paramount President Eric Doctorow and indie-film producer Tom Skouras).
Oh... and did we forget to mention the 26-city BUS TOUR prior to the theatrical opening? Or the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) promotion in Nashville? Or the first-time-ever that the Children's Miracle Network has cross-promoted a theatrical release film? There's so much more to the Getting Grace release campaign, that other blog(s) would be required!
Corporate Governance: HHSE will be re-filing a Form 10 Registration with two full years of audits (2016 and 2017) early this coming year, during the first few weeks; the CPA review is already underway and much of the documentation and procedural steps for the audit were already assembled during 2017 while planning for the Crimson merger. We feel that a registration of the shares and the subsequent uplist to OTC:QB will attract more investors and some institutional funds... resulting in a higher anticipated daily trading volume, and a predicted much higher HHSE stock price (based on business results, industry fundamentals and the proven power of Shareholder Enthusiasm).

Hannover House plans to expand the release of "DEATH HOUSE" to approximately 20 additional markets on March 9and March 16, with further playdates to be based on audience response and box office performance. The home video and digital release are anticipated for July.
March 2 Markets
Los Angeles / Van Nuys, CA and Stroudsburg, PA (hometown of the film's director, Harrison Smith).
March 9 Markets
New York, NY; Chicago, IL; Philadelphia, PA; Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, GA; Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL; Sacramento, CA; Charlotte, NC; Kansas City, KS / MO; Oklahoma City, OK; Jacksonville, FL; Memphis, TN; and N.W. Arkansas.
"DEATH HOUSE" will now launch on Friday, March 2 with a special media event and public opening at the Regency Plant 16 in Van Nuys, California. The Friday night showing will feature nearly twenty cast members, along with principal crew and horror-industry media. Producer Rick Finkelstein will speak briefly before the first screening, and will dedicate the film's launch to the memory of writer/actor Gunnar Hansen ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre") who passed away in November 2015 shortly after completing the first draft screenplay for "DEATH HOUSE." The film will also open on March 2 at the Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, PA, which will feature a Sunday evening special event and presentation by director B. Harrison Smith.
BATTLECREEK is benefiting from the momentum that star BILL SKARSGARD has created from his current # 1 top selling national hit, "IT" - to his upcoming new TV Series from JJ Abrams and Stephen King: "CASTLEROCK" on Hulu. Hannover House is "at the right place at the right time" with BATTLECREEK.
New Ventures - With Sony and Cinedigm handling selected HHSE releases, our management time can be redirected towards theatrical releases, higher-end acquisitions (including productions) and our VODWIZ streaming venture. As will be seen in our 2017 filings, theatrical release activities are the engine that is now driving HHSE revenues in all other arenas. Theatrical titles get more shelf space and priority placement when released to home video; theatrical titles get larger license fees from Netflix and Television licensors; and theatrical titles provide two direct revenue streams for HHSE in the form of both servicing fees and revenue participations. The current mass merchant and key video retail support for "BATTLECREEK" evidences the sales boost that a targeted, limited theatrical release can deliver for the subsequent home video release.
The Board believes that Fully Registered Shares will be more attractive to HHSE program suppliers and investors - as well as to institutional investors and hedge funds - and that pursuing these activities now is a good use of ongoing cash flows

Pick-Ups day for RIOT ACT provides HHSE with opportunity to shoot E.P.K. Interviews
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - the first pass edit is completed for the feature film, THE RIOT ACT, and director Devon Parks decided to shoot some additional scenes for pacing and continuity last Friday. This day of "pick-ups" occurred inside one of the period-restored Rail Cars of the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad in Springdale, Arkansas. After the full day of shooting, HHSE Director of Marketing DESIREE GARNIER and videographer JOSH IRWIN were able to get lengthy interviews with director Devon Parks and Producer-Leading Lady Lauren Sweetser.
These interviews will provide useful material for National Broadcast Entertainment Shows and general media as part of the film's "Electronic Press Kit" (E.P.K.) in support of this summer's theatrical release. This footage will also become one of the sources for the "making of" featurette that will appear on the DVD and BluRay copies of THE RIOT ACT.
This film looks superb, and seems well positioned for commercial success!
BLOODFEAST - A limited release of "R" rated DVDs and BluRays will also hit selected retailers on Tuesday... but the BIG GUNS will be blasting with our "SPECIAL, UNRATED AND UNEDITED DIRECTOR'S CUT" - which is rolling out "only in theatres" on a city by city basis. Management believes that the hard-core Horror fans will support this Unrated version, and thus far, the response from the specialty media supports this belief.

DEATH HOUSE - opens in theatres Feb. 23 - this deserves an entire mega blog to itself. For now, we'll include the new trailer link.
GETTING GRACE - opens in theatres March 23, and is already proving to be the company's top theatrical title, probably of all time (several "sneak peek" screenings have already occurred and SOLD OUT, with literally thousands of tickets cumulatively already sold!). This title deserves two or three mega-blogs. But for now, we'll include just a few images and a link or two.
