MVD Entertainment Group and Rue Morgue Launch “MIDNIGHT MOVIE UNCHAINED”

by Rocco T. ThompsonJuly 8, 2020

Last September, MVD and Rue Morgue launched Midnight Movie Society, a curated Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) service specializing in Extreme Underground, Taboo and Cult Horror movies. This gave genre fans access to a film library of shocking underground, outrageous gore, creature features, cult classics, and traditional horror. 

An offshoot of the popular SVOD service, MIDNIGHT MOVIE UNCHAINED is a new, curated FREE AVOD channel available exclusively on Roku catering to more traditional horror fare. All titles are carefully selected from the vast MVD film catalog, from underground horror to cult classics. For those curious about Midnight Movie Society, this new AVOD channel is a great way to test the blood-infused waters.

MIDNIGHT MOVIE UNCHAINED is developed by UDU Digital in partnership with MVD Entertainment Group and Rue Morgue.
