Last February we interviewed producer/actor Jeff Kirkendall about his movie Return to Splatter Farm, an independent horror movie that he made with his long time collaborator Mark Polonia at Polonia Brothers Entertainment. Known as PBE for short, the production company has impressively produced & released dozens of movies, including last year’s viral hit Amityville in Space. We asked Jeff to recommend five movies from Polonia Brothers Entertainment that every indie film fan should check out.

Are you a fan of Polonia Brothers Entertainment? What are your favorite PBE movies?
Never heard of these! Curious if they are classed as horror or if they are more of a horror/comedy genre? Tricky to tell from the thumbnail stills as it could be either lol sometimes indie films really can be hidden gems!
I’m a big fan of Halloween movies and these are new to me although they are old haha. Thank you for recommendation!
