Press Release: LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2019 –RLJE Films (NASDAQ: RLJE) has acquired the highly anticipated horror film SATANIC PANIC.  The latest in the line-up from the recently re-launched FANGORIA, and based on a story by Grady Hendrix (Mohawk) and Ted Geoghegan (We Are Still Here), the film was written by Hendrix and directed by Chelsea Stardust (Hulu’s “Into the Dark”).  SATANIC PANIC stars Hayley Griffith (The Drew), Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day), Michael Polish (Before I Wake), Jerry O’Connell (“Billions”) and Rebecca Romijn (X-Men Franchise).  The film will be released in theaters and on VOD and Digital HD on September 6, 2019.
