London, UK – Arrow Video is excited to announce the October 2021 lineup of their new subscription-based ARROW platform, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
The October lineup leads with the ARROW release of Chad Kinkle’s sophomore feature Dementer, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland. Raw and unsettling, Dementer is a brave and unflinching story of lives lived on the fringes of society, and a battle with demons inside and out. Shot on real locations with many non-actors playing versions of themselves – including Kinkle’s real-life sister Stephanie – Dementer is a deeply personal genre film with an emotional punch that lingers long after the credits have rolled. The film will debut on ARROW October 1.
ARROW Stories will be home to a number of exclusive extras for Dementer, including several audio commentaries with director Chad Crawford Kinkle and the cast, The Making of Dementer, a brand-new in-depth look behind the scenes of how and why the film was made and In the Words of Larry, a new interview with actor Larry Fessenden discussing his role in Dementer and what drew him to the project.
Ahead of the ARROW bow of his latest film, Kinkle shared, “The idea for Dementer came from my desire to build a horror film around my sister Stephanie, who has Down syndrome. I wanted to go through this journey with her and see what type of experience it would be like to create a film like this and also to see what kind of film it would make.”
October 1 will see the arrival of Dementer (UK/US/CA/IRE), Patrick (US/CA), Ban the Sadist Videos (UK/US/CA/IRE), Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth (UK/US/CA/IRE), The Changeling (US/CA), Tales of the Uncanny (US/CA), Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters (US/CA), The Frankenstein Complex (US/CA), and The Initiation (US).
October 1’s Seasonal offerings kicks off with The Shocktober 31. 31 days, 31 movies. This October ARROW is bringing back the infamous Shocktober 31 and highlighting some of our favorite horror titles streaming on ARROW each day.

Feature Presentations: October | ARROW
Fleeing from a cult that has left her scarred both physically and mentally, Katie (Katie Groshong, Jug Face, A Measure of the Sin) is keen to get her life together. On her path to recovery, she takes a job in a care center supporting adults with special needs, among them Stephanie (Stephanie Kinkle), a woman with Down Syndrome. Convinced that the “devils” are coming for Stephanie, and tormented by flashbacks of her experience within the cult and with their leader Larry (Larry Fessenden, The Dead Don’t Die, Habit), Katie takes increasingly extreme measures to ward off the evil that is making Stephanie sick. But what if her rituals are doing more harm than good?
Streaming links for Dementer and select titles are available for review, interview & feature consideration.
Dementer Trailer | ARROW
Dementer (ARROW) Trailer
In the scorching summer of 1973, a group of young Texans produced a drive-in flick that would change the face of horror and become one of the most notorious pictures ever filmed. But there are many hidden levels: the distant inspiration of the Ed Gein legend, the political climate, the newly independent American cinema, the funky, nauseating shoot which drove the participants to the brink of sanity, the distribution deal that made somebody a lot of money, but not the filmmakers, the creation of a cult classic which still holds as much power today as it did nearly 50 years ago.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth features interviews with every major principal (including Tobe Hooper, Kim Henkel, Wayne Bell, Robert Burns, Marilyn Burns, and Gunnar Hansen), visits locations, talks to experts, covers the sequels, and examines the ongoing effect Texas Chainsaw Massacre has on fans and creators.
