Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts, commented, "We're delighted with audience reaction to 'Night of the Demons' and we're hoping that this will be the beginning of a meaningful relationship between Seven Arts and FILM4 FRIGHTFEST. FILM4 FRIGHTFEST attracts hard core horror fans, who are very sophisticated as well as active on the internet, and their word of mouth reviews and blogs are an important component to financial success."

Alan Jones, founder and director of FILM4 FRIGHTFEST, stated, "The 'NIGHT OF THE DEMONS' event went exceptionally well. The audience really liked it as all the posts on the forum attest. Literally everyone has said it was a pleasant surprise and great fun to watch with terrific shocks. So I feel we made a great choice. Having the director, Adam Gierasch and co-writer Jace Anderson, as well as cast members Bobbi Sue, John and Joe in attendance added enormously to the special feel of the world premiere. Movies like 'NIGHT OF THE DEMONS' are what FrightFest is all about and yet again Seven Arts Pictures supplied us with another highlight. The FrightFest team is humbled by your continuing support and long may our relationship prosper."
