"Horror Hayride," directed by award-winning, Austin-based filmmaker Stephen Mims, is the long-delayed successor to 1981's "Webb Wilder, Private Eye," a 10-minute "hillbilly noir" film (about a flying saucer investigation) that has enjoyed a long life in the recesses of cable TV. Both works will be released soon in a home-video package.
"Horror Hayride," a 40-minute film centered on Wilder, the real-life rock singer whose third album, "Doo Dad," was released recently by Zoo Records. Instead of making two standard videos, Wilder and his longtime collaborator R. S. Field talked Zoo into financing their fanciful creation, which includes some musical sequences based on songs from the album.
The governor hires private investigator Webb to watch after his daughter. Webb finds more is going on behind the scenes than anyone expected.
