Freestyle Releasing and Freestyle Digital Media (FDM) announced today that they have acquired theatrical and VOD rights to the horror thriller HAYRIDE 2, from writer/director Terron R. Parsons, starring Sherri Eakin (HAYRIDE), Richard Tyson (THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) with Jeremy D. Ivey, Jeremy Sande, David 'Shark' Fralick and Corlandos Scott. The film was produced by Parsons and Jonathan Kelly, with Richard Tyson and Tara Kleinpeter exec producing.

The action picks up directly following the events of "Hayride" when the survivors, including Amanda (Sherri Eakin) arrive at the county hospital to recover from the previous night's savage massacre. Unfortunately for them, the survivors are not the only ones en route to the hospital. Rayborn, the local farmer known as "Pitchfork," who Paramedics make the mistake of thinking is incapacitated from his wounds, brutally attacks them leaving the ambulance crashed in flames on the side of a country road. The seemingly invincible "Pitchfork" is on the loose again with one location in mind...the hospital. Meanwhile, Detective Loomis' (Corlandos Scott) recent brush with this legendary "monster" seems to fuel his need to uncover the secrets of the man behind the mask. Where was he hiding for 20 years? Loomis finds that to stop a killer he must first learn his history, which may be closer than anyone could imagine.
