Greetings Horror Fans! 

Womp Stomp Films is excited to welcome you to the Home Video Release campaign for Never Hike Alone: A Friday the 13th Fan film.

In 2017, our team at Womp Stomp Films successfully crowdfunded and created the Friday the 13^th Fan Film, Never Hike Alone. The film made its debut on October 13, 2017 as an opening night selection of the Telluride Horror Show and simultaneously began streaming for free on the Womp Stomp Films YouTube Channel, amassing over 120,000 views in five short months.

It was never our intention to create any sort of physical copy of the film, however since the film's debut, we have received an overwhelming amount of fan requests for a home video release.

This is why we have decided to partner with Indiegogo in this one-time-only campaign in order to help raise funding for a limited pressing of 1000 Combo Blu Ray / DVD Combo Pack of Never Hike Alone, as well as a variety of other great rewards. 

Once this campaign is over, physical copies of Never Hike Alone will never be available again. So don’t wait! Pick up your copy of the film today and then share this page with any family or friends that will not want to miss out in this once in a lifetime opportunity!

The focus of our campaign is the release of 1000 Limited Edition Never Hike Alone Blu Ray / DVD Combo Pack with each disc will containing a Stereo and Theatrical 5.1 Surround Sound Mix versions of the film, Behind the Scenes Photos and Interviews, Trailers, and more.

DISCLAIMER: Blu Ray is ALL REGION, but DVD is US ONLY.

Other items available during the campaign with include the Never Hike Alone Soundtrack provided by Earthship Records, an 18x24 Never Hike Alone Poster design by Dany Desmeules, 13 limited "Classic" and "Bloody" Edition VHS Tapes,  replica “Ghost Hock” mask by Sculpt Or Die artist Brandon Scott Murphree, and Custom Jason Voorhees Figure from D.S. Customs and Apparel & Craft Geek Dioramas . 

Our goal is very simple, to give Friday Fans what they are asking for by raising $13,000 in order to afford the overall cost of physical media production, packaging, and shipping.

The creation of physical media will begin about 6-8 weeks after the completion of the campaign and backers can expect to have their rewards in plenty of time before Halloween 2018.  

The Never Hike Alone project has always been one of passion and never about making a profit. After all, profiting off of fan fiction is illegal and something to be taken very seriously, especially when crowdfunding.

To remain non-profit for this campaign, Womp Stomp Films will be donating all left over funding to the United Way’s Thomas Fire Fund in order to support the ongoing relief efforts for the tragic events that took place in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties this past winter.

If you would like to make a direct donation, you can do so at their website.

Founded in early 2016, WOMP STOMP FILMS was created by Vincente and Sarah DiSanti as an avenue to pursue live-action genre entertainment. Partnering with Producers Barry Jay Stitch, Kyle Klein, and Daniel Evans, this group was drawn together by a common passion for Friday the 13th and turning great stories into visually engaging films.

We hope to welcome you as a part of this campaign and are greatly appreciative for any support you can give. After making your contribution, we also ask that you please share this campaign with any friends or family you believe will enjoy this film.

Thank you again for your continued support of independent films.

See you on the trails!

"But wait how can they get away with this? How is this legal!?!??"

On the subject of the rights to Friday the 13th, we would again like to formally acknowledge that Womp Stomp Films is in no way affiliated with Paramount Pictures, New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers, or anyone one else associated with the Friday the 13th Franchise. If anyone from those entities takes issue with what we are trying to accomplish, we will happily comply with whatever is asked of us by those parties.

That being said, we know that studios love fan films and most often support them. That is why there are so many Friday the 13th, Star Wars, Halloween, Star Trek, Nightmare on Elm Street, Batman, and countless other property fan films currently floating around the web. As long as one does not try to profit or compete, studios usually see them as a free marketing tool.

However, in a case like with Axanar: A Star Trek Fan Film, which you may have read about, it was only when the filmmakers raised 1.13 million dollars on Kickstarter before Paramount stepped in and shut the production down.

The budget for this campaign is astronomically lower and is only meant to cover the unavoidable expenses of creating physical media.

In other words, our team is partnering with our fans to share in the cost of a one time limited print so we can all add Never Hike Alone to our personal collections.

Once this campaign is completed, the Blu-Ray / DVD combo pack featured within it will no longer be offered anywhere else in the world ever again and no long term profit will be made.

The fundraising limit we researched for crowdfunded projects is $50K. Even if we sell out of everything, we will not reach that figure. If somehow we do, we will stop the campaign.

When it comes to excess funds, we are donating all those proceeds to charity. In fact, it was only when we realized we could use the film's popularity for a good cause that we decided to go all in on this campaign.

We hope this clears up any questions in regards to this campaign. If you have any other questions, please contact us at contact@wompstompfilms.com
