January 22, 2010

As we told you here, Shout! Factory is re-issuing the Roger Corman library on DVD and Blu-Ray - some titles for the first time.

Piranha, however, is facing a slight alteration in release date.

Shock Till You Drop has learned Shout! is now prepping to release the Joe Dante-directed creature feature on DVD and Blu-Ray August 3 to allow for more time to work on the special features and to perhaps coincide with the theatrical release of Piranha 3D.


When an official list of bonus material comes to light, we'll let you know!

Shout Factory! Announces Galaxy of Terror and Forbidden World Special Editions
Thursday, May 6, 2010
By: MrDisgusting


Space, the final frontier …it’s also the fiercest, most fearful frontier. No one can hear you scream ... but now they can hear you shout!


This Summer, Shout! Factory, in association with New Horizons Picture Corporation, have a treat in store for aficionados of sci-fi, horror classics and Roger Corman fans when Forbidden World and Galaxy of Terror debut for the first time on Special Edition Blu-ray and DVD on July 20, 2010.



"Forbidden World 2-Disc Special Edition" Blu-ray and DVD contain two versions of the movie – the newly remastered theatrical version and the never-before-seen unrated director’s cut.

Each Blu-ray and DVD boasts a shocking selection of extensive bonus content including all-new interviews and audio commentaries with cast and crew, rare behind-the-scenes footage and much more.


These two inter-stellar shockers mark the latest installments from fan favorite ROGER CORMAN’S CULT CLASSICS home entertainment series from Shout! Factory.

Each Special Edition Blu-ray and DVD is sold separately.
Blu-ray is priced to own at $26.97; and DVD is available at $19.93.












FORBIDDEN WORLD: 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION


Available for the first time on both Blu-ray and DVD, audiences can experience the 2-Disc Special Edition home entertainment release of Forbidden World as it was originally envisioned, in a never-before-seen, unrated director’s cut, as well as a newly remastered theatrical cut.



On the remote planet of Xarbia, a scientific experiment has gone horrifically wrong. An experimental life-form known as Subject 20,” created by an elite group of scientists to prevent a major galactic food crisis, has instead mutated into a man-eating organism.

It’s getting bigger, it has the ability to change its genetic structure at will and, worst of all, it’s hungry. Very, very hungry!



Two-fisted, hard-living, hard-loving bounty hunter Mike Colby (Jesse Vint, Macon County Line, Deathsport) is called in to combat this monstrous menace, but soon suspects that the scientists are keeping something from him.

He soon discovers why: Subject 20 is half-human.


In classic Agatha Christie tradition, Subject 20 begins killing off the scientists one by one, while Colby and the remaining survivors desperately try to figure out a way to destroy it -- before it destroys them.




Also released theatrically as "Mutant", Forbidden World has it all: Gratuitous gore, unexpected nudity, surprising bits of black comedy, and an assortment of inspired and inventive special effects (done on a Roger Corman budget, of course).

Nevertheless, the film earned three Saturn Award nominations: Best Low-Budget Film, Best Special Effects and Best Makeup. The film marked the directorial debut of two-time Primetime Emmy Awards winner Allan Holzman (Survivors of the Holocaust), who like so many Hollywood luminaries got his start under Corman’s auspices.




The cast also includes:

Delectable damsels-in-distress:
June Chadwick (This is Spinal Tap, the original "V")
Dawn Dunlap (Barbarian Queen, David Hamilton’s Laura)

and character actors:
Linden Chiles (Helter Skelter, Who is the Black Dahlia?)
Fox Harris (Repo Man, Sid and Nancy)
Michael Bowen (Kill Bill – Volume 1, Jackie Brown)
and Scott Paulin (The Right Stuff)




You too can embark on a never-before-seen, never-more-explicit journey to Forbidden World. It’s a journey you won’t soon forget!

- New anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) in high definition transfer from the Inter-Positive films elements of the R-rated theatrical cut

Galaxy of Terror DVD/Blu-ray


With its unforgettable catch-line “Hell has just been relocated!” Galaxy of Terror, known at various times during development as "Planet of Horrors" and "MindWarp: An Infinity of Terror", is the quintessential example of Corman magic.

Working behind the scenes was production designer James Cameron, who achieved some measure of success shortly thereafter.




In the distant future, the crew of the starship Quest is dispatched to the barren planet of Morganthus to search of the missing crew members of the starship Remus, which has crash-landed there.

Instead, they encounter something far more mysterious and insidious, as the crew members fall victim to their worst fears -- each one more horrifying than the last. If any of them are survive the Galaxy of Terror, they must unlock the secrets of this deadly world.





The star-studded cast of Galaxy of Terror includes some popular veterans and a talented supporting cast, many of whom achieved greater fame subsequently.

Golden Globe winner Edward Albert (The House Where Evil Dwells, The Domino Principle)

Humanoids from the Deep - August 3, 2010



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/JamesGrec/Humanoids.jpg



In the sleepy fishing village of Noyo, the fish aren’t biting -- and that’s the problem. The town’s faltering economy, dependent entirely on the fishing industry, has exacerbated ongoing, racially-charged tensions between the local fishermen, who want a cannery to be constructed in the town, and the Native American population, who most definitely don’t.


But something else is biting -- and worse. A genetic experiment on salmon has produced a species of aquatic monstrosities that are half-man and half-fish … and constantly on the rampage!

The body count is rising. Men are being mauled to death, but the female victims suffer a far worse fate: The monsters are mating with them, trying to propagate their horrific species.





The Special Edition boasts a reversible cover featuring vintage art from the U.S. and international movie posters.





Disc Details:

- New high-definition transfer of the Uncut international version presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1)

Deathsport / BattleTruck Double Feature - August 3, 2010



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/JamesGrec/Deathsport.jpg



The worldwide success of Death Race 2000 fueled Corman’s desire to make Deathsport, which also stars David Carradine.
It was not a direct sequel but certainly a thematic follow-up.



Set 1,000 years in the future, following the Great Neutron Wars, the world is divided into desert wastes and isolated city-states. Lord Zirpola (David McLean) captures the notorious “Desert Ranger” Kaz Oshay (Carradine) and forces him to fight to the death in his game, Deathsport.

Now Kaz must face his past and fight to save himself, his city and the future from the war that Lord Zirpola is about to wage.







Inspired by the success of The Road Warrior, Corman acquired the award-winning New Zealand-made action blowout BattleTruck for distribution, rechristened it "Warlords of the 21st Century" and released it to screens in 1982.

The film earned an enthusiastic cult audience and has not been available on home video for more than 20 years until now.




After the Oil Wars have ravaged the Earth’s landscape, gasoline has become a precious commodity. On his marauding search to commandeer all of the oil in existence to fuel his massive, heavily-armored battle truck, Col. Straker (James Wainwright) ravages a peaceful commune.

Riding to their rescue is a mysterious man on a motorcycle (Michael Beck), who becomes their only hope when he decides to bring the fight to Straker, aided and abetted by Straker’s runaway daughter, Corlie (Annie McEnroe).

It’s a mechanized, motorized version of the story of David and Goliath, and only one can survive.







Deathsport Disc Details:

- New anamorphic widescreen presentation (1.78:1)

- Audio commentary with co-director Allan Arkush and editor Larry Bock

- Interviews with actor Jesse Vint

- Original Theatrical Trailers and TV Spots

- Still gallery

I will be getting Humanoids From The Deep. I will double diip with Deathrace 2000(my DVD version isn't the best), I will get Deathsport / BattleTruck Double Feature- for Battletruck, which I love(I'm a sucker for all the cheesy 80's Mad Max rip offs), but Deathsport is bad, and not in a good way. Though it is fun to watch for the cheesy sets and costumes.

I don't think I'll get the Slumber Party Massacre collection. I already have the first 2 on DVD, I didn't like part 3. And there isn't enough extras to make me want to double-dip. Now if there were audio commentaries....

Anyone pick up the double feature of The Evil/Twice Dead ?

Used to love to watch The Evil on HBO when I was a kid.

http://www.killerfilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/61nhXxHW1dL__AA300_.jpg

When are they going to release the Roger Corman produced Battle Beyond the Stars on Blu-ray?

I have it on regular DVD (now out of print). This is another childhood favorite.

Shout! does not have it on their list of releases for the remainder of 2010, so it won't be coming out this year.

They do have it listed on their press releases so it will be coming out but an official release date is uncertain as of now.

I'll probably pick up The Warrior And The Sorceress / Barbarian Queen [Double Feature]. I'm a huge fan of the 80's "sword and sorcery flicks"- and like to collect them.
The main reason to watch Barbarian Queen is for the late Lana Clarkson. Lana reprised her role in Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom II(which recycled footage from both Barbarian Queen and The Warrior And The Sorceress), yet she played a different character in Barbarian Queen II.

Unless the price is super cheap I'll probably pass on The Evil/Twice Dead double feature. Both are decent. Twice Dead is mostly known for having Todd Bridges in it, it also has Jill Whitlow(Night Of The Creeps).


I love Battle Beyond The Stars, saw it in the theater when it was released. Basically a scifi remake of Seven Samurai. And typical for many Roger Corman produced flicks, footage from Battle Beyond The Stars was reused in Space Raiders, and Prison Ship.

Got my copy of The Slumber Party Massacre Collection. Listened to the audio commentary for the first SPM- it had director Amy Jones, Debra Deliso who played Kimberly, and the driller killer himself Michael Villella. Very informative, and everyone seemed to be having a fun time revisiting the film. Brinke Stevens popped in to comment on her small role and death scene.

Also watched the docu for the first SPM. Good interviews, and there was a little bit with some fans going to the house(some funny stories from the owner and his experience with the film crew), and the high school which were part of the filming locations.

I'm definitely happy with this set.

Good to know the set is well done.

I think I may bite the bullet and get The Evil/Twice Dead double feature.

If Netflix carried it, I would have rented it and seen if it was really worth a purchase.

Not Of This Earth (1988)
Roger Corman's Cult Classics
Release Date: 11/2/2010
Categories: Feature Films



http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab358/JamesGrec1/NOTE-DVD.jpg




An alien race dying from radiation sends an emissary to Earth to find out if transfusions of human plasma might be a cure for their affliction.

If the plan is a success, the creatures intend to launch a full scale invasion to harvest people for their blood.






Not of This Earth was a remake of executive producer Corman’s 1957 sci-fi horror classic, which he had himself produced and directed.

Eager to capitalize on the thrills and chills of the original story while adding a fresh, more contemporary layer of black comedy and camp humor, Corman tapped producer/director Wynorski to take on the project. Not only did Wynorski accept the challenge of remaking one of his mentor’s most popular early films, but he vowed his could do it in less time than Corman had, 31 years before!

According to Hollywood legend, the original film took Corman 12 days to make, and the remake took Wynorski 12 days to make!




The film marked Traci Lords’ transition from adult film roles to mainstream roles.

Not only did she contribute a generous dose of beauty and sex appeal, as well as a dollop of box-office-friendly controversy, but the actress proved the naysayers wrong by impressing critics and audiences alike with a witty, sassy performance as the quick-thinking heroine, Nadine Story.








Special Features:

- New anamorphic widescreen transfer (1.78:1)
- Nadine’s Story – a new interview with Traci Lords
- New audio commentary with Traci Lords and director Jim Wynorski

The Lady in Red (1979)



Pamela Sue Martin makes a startling transition into grown up roles, in the title role of The Lady in Red.


All her life, Polly Franklin wanted to see her name in lights. Yet her dreams were constantly dashed and she frequently wound up in trouble. From sweatshop worker to dancehall girl, from prisoner to prostitute, Polly lived a hard, often harrowing, life.

Then she fell for John Dillinger (Robert Conrad), the much-feared bank robber and killer who was declared “Public Enemy Number 1” by the FBI.






It was Polly who wore the infamous red dress on that fateful July evening in 1934 Chicago, when she and Dillinger went to the movies at the Biograph Theatre.

It is there that Polly found the fame she had so long craved — although not in the way she desired.




With a hard-edged script rooted in history by two-time Academy Award nominee John Sayles, The Lady in Red is a gritty crime saga with a unique point of view. It explores the mystery behind one of the most notorious “ladies” of her time.





Produced by Julie Corman and directed by Lewis Teague, the film’s star-studded cast includes:

Louise Fletcher
Christopher Lloyd
Dick Miller
Robert Forster






Special Features:

As the thugs close in on Lisa, they don’t realize they are about to come face to face with something far more horrifying than themselves.



Grotesque has no extras.

Lady Frankenstein is available in many multiple movie packs(like Chilling Classics 50 movie pack), it's a fun cheesy movie, I wonder how much different the re constructed cut is?

Wow, I remember seeing Time Walker on the big screen. Been ages since I've seen it, if I remember correctly the mummy is really a mummified alien, and it hovers instead of walking.

Grotesque isn't bad, been awhile. It also has Tab Hunter, Guy Stockwell, Robert Z'Dar, and the other Van Patten brother Nels.

The Velvet Vampire is pretty good.

Odd collection of movies, if it was under $10 I'd pick it up.

Will also be getting the Battle Beyond The Stars Blu-Ray, and being an 80's sword and sorcery cheese junkie I will be picking up that set, all are great fun.
