NAVARRE CORPORATION’S BCI ANNOUNCES THE DEIMOS BRAND OF DVD TITLES

New Unit To Be Devoted To Classic Horror, Cult and Sci-Fi Releases

Los Angeles, CA – As illustrated by its recent “Crypt of Terror” collection, BCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, is putting its marketing and distribution muscle behind a dedicated line of genre-specific titles. This direction has led to the announcement of the Deimos Brand, which will focus on classic horror, cult and sci-fi DVD releases. The announcement was made today by Cliff MacMillan, Director of Acquisitions, BCI.

“With the tremendous success over the past several years of cult—specifically horror—films at the box office, there is no question that this genre has a dedicated fan base looking to satiate itself with as much product that is available,” said MacMillan. “The Deimos Brand has been created to meet the needs of this very important consumer demographic.”

The Deimos Brand will feature the following new lines of product, many that will include such special features as audio commentaries, deleted scenes, trailers, TV spots, interviews and DVD-ROM features:
• Horror—Crypt of Terror and The Spanish Horror Collection
• Sci-Fi—“Galaxina”
• Cult—titles such as “Don’t Answer the Phone” and The Starlite Drive-In Theater series

The initial titles already released under the Deimos Brand include “Galaxina” and the Crypt of Terror double features “Night of the Bloody Apes/Curse of the Doll People” and “Cemetery of Terror/Grave Robbers.”
