CANDY CAIN KILLS is the #1 Horror title week of release!

Today we are thrilled to share that Brian McAuley‘s Candy Cain Kills, the second entry in our Killer VHS Series, is the #1 horror title on all of Ingram.

Ingram is Shortwave’s distributor, and the largest distributor in the world with over 7.5 million titles.
