History

Code Red was begun in 2006 by president Bill Norton Olsen.[4] The company's first release was Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!, released on October 24, 2006.[5] The Fabulous Journey to the Center of the Earth (1978) was the company's second release, followed by the horror film Devil Times Five (1974).
