101 Films Giving Horror Comedy Pledge Night A Blu-Ray Release
Next month in April, 101 Films will release hellish hazing horror Pledge Night (1990) on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. Combining absurd humour and grisly violence, and featuring a soundtrack from thrash metal icons Anthrax.
The follows a college fraternity in the middle of hazing their new pledges during “hell week”. Only to incur the wrath of a long deceased pledge who died during a hazing gone wrong 20 years ago.
Pledge Night is a unique serving of weird, sleazy terror. The release features interviews with filmmakers and cast, including director Paul Ziller and writer/producer Joyce Snyder.
It’s hazing season at Phi Up and the boys are up to all sorts of nasty pranks on their hapless pledges, in
between regular bouts of ‘wetting their whistles’ at the campus watering hole…with some of the area’s
beautiful sorority babes. But this is going to be one literal ‘hell week’ as they unwittingly unleash the spirit
of Acid Sid; an unfortunate pledge who was accidentally dissolved in acid during a hazing prank gone wrong
some 20 years earlier. As the helpless fratboys and pledges fall victim to Sid’s wrath and seemingly
indestructible towering zombie corpse, it’s up to the stragglers to figure out how to kill someone who’s been
dead for two decades, or die trying.
