LARRY COHEN’S “MASTERS OF HORROR: PICK ME UP”
FROM ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT

Available on DVD October 17, 2006

TROY, MI – Coming face to face with a serial killer is the stuff of nightmares. But what happens when serial killers go mano a mano? Only the Masters of Horror can answer such a sinister quandary. On Tuesday, October 18th, Anchor Bay Entertainment releases “Pick Me Up,” the next chilling installment in the acclaimed Emmy™-winning horror anthology series. Directed by legendary horror filmmaker Larry Cohen (It’s Alive, Q, God Told Me To), “Pick Me Up” revs into fear overdrive, including hours of bonus content that will take viewers from zero to “Scream” in no time flat! SRP is $16.98 and pre-book is September 6, 2006.

Written by David Schow, “Pick Me Up” maps the horrific course leading to a collision made in hell. Along a desolate road, Wheeler (Michael Moriarty, “Law and Order”), a serial killer who preys on hitchhikers, offers a ride to Walker (Warren Kole, “Into The West”), a hitchhiker who kills anyone unlucky enough to offer him a ride. Caught between these two psychopaths is Stacia (Fairuza Balk, The Craft, The Waterboy) who will need to choose her ally carefully, lest she become another casualty in their deadly game of cat(s) and mouse.
