Madison County trailer debuts, introduces us to “Damien”

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Just a couple of days ago, Jared all tuned you in to the fact that the official site for the backwoods slasher MADISON COUNTY had a countdown clock on it; he surmised that it was counting down to the trailer’s debut, and it turns out he was correct, because it’s right there in the big box below for you to click on!

Based on the preview, it would appear MADISON COUNTY is firmly entrenched in TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE/HILLS HAVE EYES/WRONG TURN territory. Throw in the pig mask from MOTEL HELL and I think you know what’s in store…


Madison County is about a group of college students that travel to a remote, mountain town called Madison County to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of the grisly murders that happened in the town over two decades ago. Upon their arrival, the author is no where to be found and the townspeople state that they’ve “not seen him in years.” They also deny that Damien Ewell, the notorious murderer, ever existed and that the murders never happened. As the kids start to dig around to get their own answers, they come to find that the stories, and Damien, maybe more real than the townspeople are letting on.
