My must buy from March is The Dorm That Dripped Blood!

What's The Dorm that Dripped Blood about? I haven't heard of it yet.

What's The Dorm that Dripped Blood about? I haven't heard of it yet.

It's a slasher film about a small group of college students helping to get a dorm ready to be closed down and are killed off one by one.

It's one of Daphne Zuniga's first films.

The cult 1980s horror film Zombie Holocaust will shamble to Blu-ray next month, reports High-Def Digest.

In an early announcement to retailers, Shriek Show has listed Zombie Holocaust for Blu-ray on April 19.

In an effort to expose a flesh-eating cult in New York City, a team of scientists sets out on an expedition to the primitive island of Keto. They are soon trapped in the wilderness, surrounded by a tribe of murderous cannibals and an army of deadly zombies!

Specs and supplements haven't been revealed yet, but the release will be a Blu-ray/DVD combo.

Severin Films To Release a Flood of Exploitation on DVD

Severin Films has anounced plans to release a slew of "outsider" cinema from the archives of Intervision Picture Corp. The weirdest and wildest flicks from the grindhouse and the first days of home video will make their way from the trash heap to DVD and Blu-ray. First up is Sledgehammer, the first shot-on-tape slasher flick for the home video market. More after the jump.

Sledgehammer will get a theatrical screening at Austin's Alamo Drafthouse on its DVD release date, May 10th. Other flicks slated for the digital treatment include "Canuxploitation" (that's Canadian exploitation - I had never heard of it, either) Things, an early example of "torture porn," and The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer.

"Either by way of budget constraints or warped vision," says Intervision marketing director Evan Husney, "each release will represent a piece of a cinematic underbelly from a universe all its own. Buried in obscurity and ripe for reintroduction, the films in Intervision's new cult canon assure top-shelf bizarro derangement, gonzo action, transcendental fever dreams and beyond."

We recently had a problem with the GOD'S BLOODY ACRE dvd and the disc was recalled and not shipped to most internet stores. Since this product was created many months ago, the disc data was no longer on our hard drive and we'd have to re-do the whole thing from scratch. Since the pre-order was so small & non-existant, we instead decided to release the film with another Wayne Crawford/Andrew Lane film, TOMCATS, in the hopes it would sell more units. The negative and 35mm print were lost on TOMCATS, but Wayne had the "longer version" on a 3/4 inch tape master before the distributor edited the film to get an "R" rating. But for some strange reason on the message boards, the buying public is screaming to find the recalled GOD'S BLOODY ACRE disc to the point of overpaying on ebay for the handful of discs that leaked out and should've been sent back or destroyed. We were amazed that people who don't usually buy CODE RED titles now want this title more than ever. We do listen to the demands and complaints and we would hate to see these scalpers and opportunists rip-off our consumers $275 to buy this film on dvd. So we will release the title again by itself and quickly reconstruct everything, including the controversial "uncensored" Crawford interview and get it on the market asap. You guys want it now & can't wait, so we listened to your cries! It'll be out again within a month to give all the fans what they want, and to stop the scalpers on ebay from selling this title for 40 times the wholesale cost.

(Thanks again JamesG)

^no prob.

I love how some companies still put out VHS releases. I know House of the Devil had it in 2009 but don't know if any more came out since.

It's kind of fitting for Sledgehammer since it's one of first of the straight to video releases.

With the recent news of Scorpion Releasing’s slasher titles on tap for DVD – Humongous, House on Sorority Row, Final Exam, The Carpenter, The Incubus and American Nightmares as well as other genre titles – Retro Slashers conducted a brief q&a with company president Walter Olsen (yes, brother of Bill Olsen who runs Code Red – unearthing horror must run in the family).

Retro Slashers: Can you say if any release dates are already set, or what order the discs will come out in?


Scorpion: Final Exam and Devil Within Her are set for September, with October being Humongous, Nothing But The Night, and perhaps one more (one we haven’t announced yet), and House on Sorority Row and Carpenter will kick start November.


Retro Slashers: House on Sorority Row was most recently released in 2009 – with this being the third edition, what similarities or differences will it have?


Scorpion: Sorority is now a brand new HD master from the original InterNegative, and will be a progressive scan encode, unlike the previous Liberation DVD edition. We already have 3 new on-camera interviews (actress Harley Jane Kozak, composer Richard Band. and producer Igor Kantor), and are trying to do more, plus all previous extras from the earlier editions are being carried over. We also have about three TV spots that I believe the other DVD editions did not have.


Retro Slashers: Any chance of getting Michael Ironside for a commentary track or interview for American Nightmare? Ditto Wings Hauser for The Carpenter?


Scorpion: I tried to get Wings Hauser, but never heard back from him nor his representative, and same with Ironside. But as they say, never say never. American Nightmare will feature an audio commentary with Producer Paul Lynch moderated by Katarina.


Retro Slashers: Will Final Exam be a reissue of the BCI’s version?


Scorpion: Not really. Ours is a new master in HD from the original negatives, and we also have a new audio commentary with the producer Myron Meisel that is moderated by Katarina and it is quite informative. And, of course, all previous extras will be there as well.


Retro Slashers: Humongous‘ video release was very dark, and many have speculated if that was the photography or the video transfer. Can you settle that for us?


Scorpion: Little bit of both, as the director wanted it to be a bit dark, but not as dark as the video. That was just a bad video job.


Retro Slashers: What sort of extras do you hope to assemble for The Incubus?

Scorpion: We cant say what for now, but we are arranging some on-camera interviews as we speak.


Retro Slashers: Lastly, how much will your horror hostess Katarina be a part of these releases?


Scorpion: She does a small skit in character, an intro before the film, and after the film ends, she does an epilogue. She does not interrupt these films in any way, and if you want to skip her segments altogether, you can, by clicking the play film option on the menu. And unlike some other horror hostesses, Katarina also moderates all the new audio commentaries. It was a delight to see someone who has made a name for herself in WWE and TNA want to speak with these filmmakers and ask them questions.

Scorpion Releasing can be found on the internet at www.scorpionreleasing.com.

http://retroslashers.net/retro-slashers-interview-scorpion-releasing/

I'm definitely getting Humongous.

I might double-dip Final Exam, I already have the Code Red release, but I'm a sucker for commentaries.

I have a previous DVD release of The Incubus, I like the film, just not enough to double-dip for the extras.

Will probably also get American Nightmare, and The Carpenter, both of which I enjoyed. The Carpenter is part of the slew of executed killers come back for revenge films that popped up in the late 80's which I love.

CODE RED DVD has acquired the North American rights to the cult classic SAVAGE STREETS starring cult icon Linda Blair. After her sister (Linnea Quigley) was gang raped by crazed gang members, Linda Blair goes into vengeance-action mode in this gritty 80's classic. The release will feature a brand new 2011 HD transfer that will make its debut only here in the USA. Extras will be ported over from the previous BCI disc, and it will include some other extras that didn't make it the first time around. This DVD will also feature the complete controversial uncensored commentary track - the track on the BCI edition had been edited for various reasons. And it will be progressively scanned, unlike the previous release. The streets will become savage again very soon! Check the Code Red website for updates and additional news.

Nightmare for sure, and The Nesting Blu-Ray not sure yet.

Bloody Birthday and The Baby depends on if they offer anything interesting enough that would make me want to double-dip as I already have them on DVD.

Not to be outdone by Arrow’s Maniac Cop BD, Synapse Films are working on a US release of the perfect action/slasher fusion with a pretty sharp cover and exclusive extras and interviews planned on top of the features from their original DVD release a few years back. Blu-Rays for Sam Raimi alumni titles Intruder and Thou Shalt Not Kill… Except are still being worked on, the company say.

The company also has the NY revenger The Exterminator (1980) on tap, it will include the original Dolby Stereo audio tracks for the first time, audio commentary by James Glickenhaus, and trailers/tv-spots. In his Exterminator article, Christian Sellers wrote: “The Exterminator was one of many films in the seventies and eighties which would portray the Big Apple as cesspit. Other notable examples include Taxi Driver, Maniac, Nightmare in a Damaged Brain and Basket Case.”

One of the European horror films most deserving of a primo disc release finally gets one when 1973’s HORROR EXPRESS chugs onto a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack later this year. We got the scoop on the specs and the first look at the cover art.

Severin Films releases the disc set September 27, with a hi-def 1.66:1 transfer from the original negative. Horror legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star as scientists who board the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1906 China for a trip to Russia—one that gets interrupted when an excavated frozen humanoid creature defrosts and begins stalking the passengers. The special features are:

• “Murder on the Trans-Siberian Express”: new interview with director Eugenio Martín

• “Notes from the Blacklist”: Producer Bernard Gordon discusses the McCarthy era

• The Guardian 1973 audio interview with Cushing

• “Telly and Me”: New interview With composer John Cacavas

• Introduction by Fango editor Chris Alexander

• Theatrical trailer

• Easter egg

I'm more excited about Terror In The Aisles than Halloween II....they used to air it all the time on TV.

I wonder if we'll ever see the release of other 80's compilations like Filmgore and The Best Of Sex & Violence.


It's also cool Horror Express is getting a nice release, another fave.

I'm more excited about Terror In The Aisles than Halloween II....they used to air it all the time on TV.

Yeah I was reading more about this and this hasn't seen a home release since the 1985 VHS.

From the Press Release: THE DEAD ARE AMONG US! In Italy, it was considered the "unofficial sequel" to DAWN OF THE DEAD. In England, it was known as ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS and banned as obscene.

In America, it was called ZOMBIE and advertised with the depraved tagline "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!" Tisa Farrow (THE GRIM REAPER), Ian McCulloch (CONTAMINATION), Al Cliver (CANNIBALS), and Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by ‘Maestro of Gore’ Lucio Fulci (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!

Blue Underground is proud to present ZOMBIE in a new 2K High Definition transfer from the original uncut and uncensored camera negative in stores on October 25th. Each flesh-eating frame has been lovingly restored to skull-rotting perfection under the supervision of Cinematographer Sergio Salvati (THE BEYOND). Now fully-loaded with hours of brand new Extras, this is the Ultimate Edition of ZOMBIE!

http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/45432/zombie-dead-are-among-us-blu-ray-high-definition

One of the goriest fright films of all-time makes its high definition debut this fall as Lionsgate releases Dead Alive on Blu-ray Disc October 4.

The early film from Oscar winning director Peter Jackson is celebrating it's 20th anniversary

A mama's boy who has the unfortunate task of looking after his aging, evil mother, Lionel (Timothy Balme, Jack Brown Genius) believes his dreams have come true when he meets the love of his life. While out to sabotage her son's happiness, his Mum (Elizabeth Moody, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) is accidently bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey, which turns her into a flesh-eating zombie. Lionel is forced to put his relationship on hold to stop his undead mother, and the rest of the town that she's infected before it's too late.

Guillermo del Toro fans, rejoice! Lionsgate is set to release an all-new, super-special, totally tricked-out blu-ray edition of Mimic. One of del Toro's earlier directorial efforts, Mimic stars Mira Sorvino as an entomologist who creates a strain of super-cockroaches to combat some regular roaches who are carrying a disease that is killing kids. Who would have thought that plan wouldn't go well? After the jump, check out the goodies you can expect on Mimic: The Director's Cut.
The director's cut includes seven minutes of restored footage which "introduces subtle character moments" (translation: seven minutes that bored studio execs and brainless audiences). New goodies include featurettes on the creatures, shooting in the caves, and del Toro's vision; video prologue and audio commentary from del Toro; deleted scenes; storyboards; and a gag reel.
Mimic: The Director's Cut hits stores September 27th.

In 1982, a low budget horror film raised its twisted head and created a buzz with a strange mix of comedy, gore, sleaze and heartfelt pathos. On September 27th, Image Entertainment and Something Weird proudly join forces to unleash Basket Case in a brand new HD transfer supervised by writer/director Frank Henenlotter. The Blu-ray™ has an SRP of $17.97 with a pre-book of August 30th and also contains a basket full of bonus features including an all-new video introduction by the director, commentary tracks and outtakes.

Carrying a mysterious wicker basket wherever he goes, Duane Bradley checks into a flea-bag hotel in New York’s Times Square. What’s in the basket, you ask? Why, it’s Duane’s hideously misshapen Siamese twin brother, Belial, who seems to wield some sort of odd control over his more normal looking brother. Together, they’re in town to hunt down and wreak havoc on the sick surgeons who separated them, but this isn’t your normal revenge flick.

With memorably gruesome scenes and some seriously disturbing stop-motion animation, Basket Case is one of the most beloved, cheerfully demented cult classics of all time. Many discovered it in the days of VHS, but now Basket Case is reborn and remastered on Blu-ray™ for a new generation of twisted fans to enjoy. Open the basket if you dare!

Blu-ray™ Bonus Features:
New Full-Frame HD Transfer Preserving the Original 16mm Camera Ratio
New Video Introduction by Director Frank Henenlotter
Audio Commentary by Director Frank Henenlotter, Producer Edgar Ievins, and Actress Beverly Bonner
Rare Outtakes and Behind-the-Scenes Footage from the Director’s Personal Collection

Image Entertainment and Something Weird have officially announced plans to release The Blood Trilogy (Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs, Color Me Blood Red) on Blu-ray, along with Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore on DVD. Scheduled for release on September 27th, we have the Blu-ray cover art and disc details.

Chatsworth, CA – He’s been hailed as a visionary and as a provocateur. His films have legions of fans, and just as many detractors. In 1963, he introduced stunned audiences to a new kind of cinema with Blood Feast – and in the process single-handedly launched “splatter cinema.” He is writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis and he is truly the “Godfather of Gore.” On September 27, Image Entertainment and Something Weird pay homage to a true cinematic legend with the DVD release of Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore, and the high definition premieres of grindhouse classics Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs and Color Me Blood Red with The Blood Trilogy Blu-ray™ Special Edition!

With a $14.98 SRP for the DVD, and a $17.97 SRP for the Blu-ray™, fans will have a chance to not only explore the wild world of Lewis and his exploitation films, but they will be able to experience every splat, every slice and every drop of fake blood and guts in full 1080p glory! In addition, each release contains a crypt-full of special bonus features including audio commentaries, deleted scenes, outtakes, original theatrical trailers and art galleries.

Featuring interviews with cast, crew and critics such as director John Waters, drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs and Herschell Gordon Lewis himself, The Godfather of Gore traces Lewis’ start in the innocent bare-naked world of “Nudie Cuties” before he shocked the world with Blood Feast, the first-ever gore film! Lewis then continued to assault audiences with such audacious shockers as She-Devils on Wheels, Blast-Off Girls, Just for the Hell of It, Two Thousand Maniacs!, The Gruesome Twosome, The Gore Gore Girls, and the incredible Wizard of Gore! Packed with tons of clips, rare outtakes, and testimony from the people who were there, Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore will leave you laughing and screaming at some of the most amazing motion picture madness to ever play American movie theaters!

Bonus Features on Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore:
-Over an Hour of Deleted Scenes!
-Herschell Gordon Lewis Trailer Reel!
-Rare Lewis Short: Hot Night at the Go-Go Lounge!
-Gallery of Herschell Gordon Lewis Exploitation Art!
-The Blood Trilogy Blu-ray™ presents three pioneering features from Herschell Gordon Lewis with all-new 1080p high-definition transfers and remastered 5.1 DTS HD audio, along with some bloody-good supplements.



Bonus features on The Blood Trilogy Blu-ray™:
-3 Audio commentaries by Herschell Gordon Lewis and David Friedman
-Outtakes
-Carving Magic with William Kerwin and Harvey Korman
-Blood Feast theatrical trailer
-Two Thousand Maniacs theatrical trailer
-Color Me Blood Red theatrical trailer

I'm curious as to what del Toro will say on the new Mimic commentary since he has said that he was very unhappy with the film.

I'm curious as to what del Toro will say on the new Mimic commentary since he has said that he was very unhappy with the film.

Makes you wonder if he'll spend the whole commentary talking about how things should have been? Or just talk about his other movies....I can't remember what movie it was but the entire commentary the director talked about his other films.

On September 13th, Camp Motion Pictures are releasing via their Camp Retro 80′s label “Big Box” VHS / DVD 5-Film Collection showcasing The Basement, a never-before-seen 1989 feature.

Four strangers are summoned to the basement of an abandoned house by a mysterious entity known only as The Sentinel. One after another, they are forced to witness heinous deeds they have yet to commit – and which will damn them for all eternity.

Swimming Pool – An unfaithful woman disposes of the evidence with a little help from a demonic water spirit.

Trick or Treat – Classic monsters exact revenge on a bitter man who refuses to honor Halloween.

Zombie Movie – Cocaine, hookers and reanimated corpses wreak havoc on the set of an independent film.

Home Sweet Home – A young man questions his sanity after purchasing a house where torture and mass murder were committed 6 years before.

Yes for VHS!!

Yes for VHS!!

Heck yeah!


I'm curious about Captives and The Basement. I'm a huge fan of 80's shot-on-vid and Super 8 horror. I enjoyed both Video Violences, and I especially like Cannibal Campout...I even like Woodchipper Massacre(from the same director as Cannibal Campout)

I've got The Ripper Blood Pack(The Ripper / Blood Cult / Revenge), and Sledgehammer....I've seen them all before, just haven't gotten around to watching the DVDs yet.

Now if they would just release Blood Lake on DVD....

If you haven't already grabbed any of the Friday the 13th films, there's a just-announced boxed set hitting this October to celebrate the numerically-reversed 31st anniversary. The good news is that the whole package is hitting in a deluxe version complete with your very own Jason Vorhees hockey mask (as shown below). The bad news is that the set looks to be DVD only, leaving the franchise Blu-ray tally at only the first three films and the remake.

As readers are no doubt aware, the first eight films were released through Paramount, meaning that, while the set takes us all the way to Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason and the 2009 remake are not included.

Full details from the press release are as follows:

Take a ride down memory lane with everyone’s favorite psychotic killer Jason Voorhees in the to-die-for DVD set FRIDAY THE 13TH THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION arriving just in time for Halloween on October 4, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment. When the original Friday The 13th debuted in 1980, it captured audiences’ imaginations and permeated our collective psyche. 31 years later, the iconic machete-wielding killer continues to haunt, fascinate and terrify a new generation.

This comprehensive set includes every murderous moment from Friday The 13th-Uncut Deluxe Edition, Friday The 13th Part 2 Deluxe Edition, Friday The 13th Part 3-3D Deluxe Edition (with two pairs of 3D glasses), Friday The 13th-The Final Chapter Deluxe Edition, Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning Deluxe Edition, Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives Deluxe Edition, Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood Deluxe Edition and Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Deluxe Edition. This extraordinary collection, which will be released in a Limited Edition of only 50,000 numbered units worldwide, includes a replica of Jason’s hockey mask, an 8-page Collector’s Booklet and hours of special features including slashed scenes, making of featurettes, killer commentaries and much, much more. FRIDAY THE 13TH THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION will be available for the suggested retail price of just $39.99 U.S./$42.00 Canada.

It sucks about the rights issue
I wasn't expecting Freddy vs. Jason and the remake to be included, but it stinks that all of the (original) films will not be included.

At first the combination of Bad Dreams (1988) and Visiting Hours (1982) on DVD had me scratching my head. Then I had a “duh” moment – they’re both hospital themed. Bad Dreams much less so than the overt Visiting Hours, but the connection is there to rationalize Shout! Factory plopping two lesser known horror titles onto one disc in a crowded marketplace.

But hey! Bad Dreams gets all the special features while Visiting Hours gets a stock standard theatrical trailer addition? Retro Slashers diagnosis: negative. But ooh, I wouldn’t mind sussing out that original Bad Dreams ending supplement.

Bad Dreams Extras

• Audio commentary by writer/director Fleming

• New Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack

• Interviews with actors Rubin, Lynch, Bruce Abbott and Dean Cameron

• “The Special Effects of Bad Dreams” featurette

• Behind the scenes of Bad Dreams’ original ending

• Theatrical trailer

The disc releases on September 13th, and both movies are presented in an anamorphic 1.78:1 widescreen transfer.

Intruder (1989) is a can-full of contained awesomeness, and if you haven’t read Intruder Thoughts From A Real Retail Worker, I curse you to a supermarket shopping line behind several senior citizens. Trust me, it sucks. So Synapse’s Intruder Blu-Ray has been in the works for a little while, and it’s still unscheduled, but things appear to be coming together.

Word comes in from Fangoria on the (preliminary) special features:

• Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Scott Spiegel & Producer Lawrence Bender

• Making-of Documentary with Scott, Lawrence, KNB’s Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero & Howard Berger, actors Elizabeth Cox, Burr Steers, Craig Stark, Ted Raimi and others.

• Trailers

• Audition Footage

• Outtakes from the original Night Crew short film

• Deleted/Extended gore scenes from the workprint version

Plus the ever-warming “more”. The extra bloodshed’s going to be a prime selling point, I’m sure – I mean, the uncut version, as is, has some of the most stomach-churning sequences put onto a slasher film. For me, the peek at the short proto version Night Crew will be of most interest for historical reasons – essentially to Intruder what Within The Woods was to Evil Dead.

Here’s some news that Italian horror fans will eat up: Producer Calum Waddell got in touch with the latest info on a Blu-ray edition of Ruggero Deodato’s notorious CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST that’s set for release next year. We’ve got pics of the participants too, including Deodato himself.

Grindhouse Releasing will issue the hi-def HOLOCAUST, which will be chock full of new supplements. “The picture below is of [co-stars] Carl Gabriel Yorke and Francesca Ciardi recording the commentary for the Blu-ray,” Waddell tells us. “We have also filmed an extensive new interview with Ruggero Deodato [2nd photo], in Italian with English subtitles, which will be at least an hour long and take in his entire jungle trilogy: LAST CANNIBAL WORLD [a.k.a. THE LAST SURVIVOR and JUNGLE HOLOCAUST], CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CUT AND RUN.



“In addition,” he continues, “we’ve got a mega-length on-camera interview with Francesca Ciardi [also in 3rd photo], and a new chat with cameraman Roberto Forges Davanzati. Finally, we shot a Q&A that took place at Cinema Wasteland in Ohio in March, and we also have a great audience Q&A with Francesca that took place in Glasgow, Scotland. Naomi [Holwill, Waddell’s partner in High Rising Productions] and I are hoping to have this all completed and with [Grindhouse’s] Bob Murawski in very early 2012. I think the new commentary track will especially be of interest to fans of the film, as it really lays bare the controversies that took place out in the jungle and the experience of two young actors being placed in a very challenging climate and movie!”

Beyond that, Waddell has another announcement for Italo-horror devotees: “We are also working on a Blu-ray of Lucio Fulci’s THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY for [Britain’s] Arrow Video. It will be out in early 2012, and I can tell you that there will be new commentaries, lots of new featurettes and a few cool Easter eggs as well. Hopefully, it will be Arrow’s best Fulci package to date!”

EDWARD MURPHY, director, writer, producer, gave us an audio commentary for the cult hit RAW FORCE. The film was out on a few multi-pack labels some years ago that everyone enjoyed and supported, but it'll finally be out in a quality presentation. RAW FORCE has never been requested by internet action fans for CODE RED to handle, but since no other company stepped up to the plate, we are going to release it in 2012. Sorry to disappoint many people out there, but if we didn't move on it, the film would've just sat there indefinitely.

Raw Force '82 aka Kung Fu Cannibals
A group of martial arts students are en route to an island that supposedly is home to the ghosts of martial artists who have lost their honor. A Hitler lookalike and his gang are running a female slavery operation on the island as well. Soon, the two groups meet and all sorts of crazy things happen which include cannibal monks, piranhas, zombies, and more!

Severin Films is pleased to announce the Blu-ray debut of 70s terror classic Horror Express starring genre titans Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing with an unforgettable supporting turn from Telly ‘Kojak’ Savalas. Loved by fans and critics alike this gory masterpiece has been transferred in hi-definition from the original camera negative and is packed with exclusive new special features as well as the first in-depth interview with Cushing ever to emerge on disc, unearthed from a British archive. The film will be released as a Blu-Ray/DVD 2-disc combo pack on November 29.

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star as rival turn-of-the-century anthropologists transporting a frozen ‘missing link’ aboard the Trans-Siberian Express. But when the prehistoric creature thaws and escapes, it unleashes a brain-scarfing spree that turns its victims into the eye-bleeding undead.

A lot of movies are finally converting to high definition with Blu-Ray releases this year, but of the upcoming releases the least likely suspect may be one of the most intriguing. Those familiar with Manos: The Hands of Fate have more than likely seen it as part of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 group doing their trademark riffing on it during one of their show's best episodes. The movie's story - as convoluted as it gets - involves a family who take a wrong turn and end up in the clutches of an evil cult led by The Master and his sidekick Torgo... Torgo! With its awful acting (which is dubbed in), horrid editing and terrible film quality (or so we thought) it has become what is widely considered to be one of the worst and most popular B-movies of all-time.

Recently, film lover Ben Solovey became the proud owner of Manos' 16mm workprint through an eBay auction, no less. Ever since finding the gem, he has made it his passion project to restore this movie off of its original print fixing at least the film quality - though nothing can save the horribleness of the rest of it. Very soon we could see a high definition version of one of the worst movies ever made, but is it a good thing?

DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS, directed by and starring Edmund Purdom, celebrates Christmas time in London - a season of good will to all men and full of joyous celebrations, quality family time and luxurious presents. This year, it's also time for a masked maniac to be let loose on the streets. His intended victims are chosen at random but they all have one thing in common: they are dressed in the flowing white beard and bright red robes of Santa Claus! With fourteen Santa Clauses already dead and only three killing days left until Christmas, the police are baffled as the horrific death toll continues to rise. From the producers of Pieces and Slaughter High, this rarely-seen flick features shocks galore and will put the "ho, ho, ho" in your horror!

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of speaking with the radiant Caroline Munro, star of such genre films as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, The Spy Who Loved Me and of course the horror favorites Maniac and Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter. The latter is my favorite of all the Hammer movies, and Munro's gypsy girl Carla is my favorite of the Hammer heroines; so needless to say I was thrilled to hear from Munro herself that Kronos is finally coming to Blu-ray in the UK. (If a US release doesn't soon follow – and God knows the film deserves one – this will be the title for which I'll finally break down and buy a region-free player.) Find out what Munro had to say about this Blu-ray release, as well as her thoughts on the upcoming remake of William Lustig's Maniac, after the jump.

Munro remarked that she did the audio commentary for the Captain Kronos Blu-ray "about six weeks ago."

"Myself; [writer-director] Brian Clemens; Shane Briant, who played Lady Durward's son; John Carson, who played Dr. Marcus; and Ian Wilson, the cinematographer – we were all there and talking as we watched the film. All of us hadn't seen the film in some time, so it came as a delight to see it again. And to see it through fresh eyes. I think it still holds up today."

"I actually didn't see [the new transfer], because they didn't have it at that time. We were working to an old print. I'd be fascinated to see it, because I bet it's rather good. I suppose it'll be out in the New Year, maybe spring time or something. Arrow Films is doing it, and it's in conjunction with the new Hammer."

Regarding the Maniac remake, Munro said, "It's Elijah Wood. I love him as an actor. He's so different from Joe [Spinell]. I mean it's like chalk and cheese. It'll be interesting to see if they've followed it. Ours was loosely based on the Son of Sam. I look forward to seeing that. I wonder if they'll pay any nods to Joe…"

As for her next on-screen appearance, Munro says fans can soon look forward to seeing her in an altogether different genre: the spaghetti western.

"I think in March, in Spain, they're doing a spaghetti western. They're trying to revamp the spaghetti western using some of the people that have worked in westerns. I did a little bit in a western with Richard Widmark, one of my first films was with him. I've been asked to do a cameo role in that, so I've got that coming out. There's one or two irons in the fire, as they say. [Laughs.] I'm keeping busy. Filming is still my passion, it still remains my number one, after my daughters and my family of course. But insofar as work, I love working in films, love it."

Always a favorite at conventions, Munro will next appear in the U.S. April 13 through 15, 2012 at Burbank's Monsterpalooza convention; her first time at the popular horror con.

^ I believe this is the 2nd re-release, right?

I remember a 25th Anniv. Edition came out in 2010 to coincide with the remake.

^ I believe this is the 2nd re-release, right?

I remember a 25th Anniv. Edition came out in 2010 to coincide with the remake.

Yep, this upcoming release is from the same company, and adds a lot more, plus the extras that came with the 2010 release...I'm glad I waited, I will definitely double-dip for this 2 disc one. I have the Image Entertainment bare bones version that came out years ago, I got it when most of Image's titles were dropped down to $4.99 each....it then went OOP and the price jumped up to over $80, then went down with the '10 release.

And I'm glad they carried ALL the extras over...it was lame when they released for the 2nd time Final Exam- they carried over the interviews but not the Cast Commentary which is the best feature IMO....I'm a sucker for commentaries I may or may not double dip for the new one.

To me this is the one good thing that came from the remake, because the original was OOP for years.

To me this is the one good thing that came from the remake, because the original was OOP for years.

Sometimes remakes are good things...didn't they release the Uncut version of the original My Bloody Valentine to coincide with the remake?

I was hoping with the Willard remake we would have gotten the original on DVD.....but alas.

Sometimes remakes are good things...didn't they release the Uncut version of the original My Bloody Valentine to coincide with the remake?

Yes.

Yes.

Ooh, now I remember, the so called documentary on it turned out to be an excuse to advertise the remake.

Vietnam, 1969. War is Hell. For Marine Sergeant Jack Stryker (Brian Schulz), however, Hell is just the beginning.

Trapped outside a Viet Cong village, Stryker takes two bullets to the leg. Sent home from the war, he discovers his ex-girlfriend (Cheryl Hausen) has been kidnapped by a religious cult with a vicious Manson-like leader (played by Sam Raimi). Stryker teams up with his marine buddies to form an assassination squad to annihilate the gang of crazed killers.

Synapse Films proudly presents Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except in an all-new 2K high-definition transfer from the original negative.

Directed by Josh Becker, this cult classic features many of the creative personnel responsible for The Evil Dead including co-writer Bruce Campbell, writer/producer Scott Spiegel (Hostel: Part III), composer Joseph LoDuca, and actor Ted Raimi.

Special Features:

• All-New High-Definition 2K Digital Restoration from the Original Negative
• The Original Super 8mm Short film, STRYKER’S WAR, starring Bruce Campbell!
• Made in Michigan: The Making of THOU SHALT NOT KILL… EXCEPT – Featurette
• Two Audio Commentaries featuring Director Josh Becker, Bruce Campbell, and Star Brian Schulz
• All-New Video Interview with Actor/Writer Bruce Campbell
• Deleted Scene with Optional Director's Commentary
• Alternate Title Sequence
• Original Theatrical Trailer
• Reversible Alternate Cover Artwork

(Thanks JamesG!)

I'll definitely be double-dipping Thou Shalt Not Kill... I have the Anchor Bay release, the commentary with Josh Becker and Bruce Campbell is entertaining, but seeing as there will be a new commentary, including Brian Schulz, who took on Bruce Campbell's role for the feature length film, plus a making of, and the original short film!...I'm sold.

NOW if someone would release Josh Becker's Lunatics A Love Story....I also wouldn't mind seeing a re release of Becker's Running Time, again Becker and Campbell's commentary is entertaining, but I'd love to see a making of.

^ When you double-dip, do you hang on to the previous release or do you get rid of it?

Sometimes people hang on to the prior release when the newer release may not carry everything over. Others keep the old release anyway even if it the new one has everything (and more).

^ When you double-dip, do you hang on to the previous release or do you get rid of it?

Sometimes people hang on to the prior release when the newer release may not carry everything over. Others keep the old release anyway even if it the new one has everything (and more).

Some I hang onto, like with Night Of The Living Dead Millennium Edition, I've kept that after buying the Dimension release of Night, it ported over only a few features from the ME release. I bought the Dimension release mainly for the feature length docu "One For The Fire", if that wasn't included I wouldn't have bothered.

If I do buy the second release of Final Exam, I'll keep the previous one because the cast commentary wasn't ported over.

Satire or sloppy filmmaking seconds? Whatever your opinion is of The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence, Tom Six's film got people talking (again) and, for a filmmaker, that's a good thing (well, that, and box office bucks). Now the sequel is heading to DVD, courtesy of IFC Midnight.

In the film, Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. He works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his dreary existence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence)], fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable.

According to the Amazon listing for the film, The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence is expected to hit DVD and Blu-ray on February 14. Aw, just in time for Valentine's Day. Expect an official announcement to go out soon with full specs.

Intervision Picture Corp. is prepping the Special Edition DVD release of Olaf Ittenbach's gorefest The Burning Moon - splatter-soaked, German nihilism shot on VHS in the' 90s and packaged, for the first time with a rare, recently unearthed, 45 minute bonus making-of documentary.

In 1992, writer/director/special effects master Olaf Ittenbach changed the face of video horror, force-fed its ripped-out eyeballs to screaming audiences, then used a drill, machete and shotgun on its still-twitching torso: Ittenbach himself stars as a degenerate junkie who babysits his young sister with two bedtime stories of the damned.

First, an escaped serial killer turns date night into a graphic family massacre. Then a country priest on a rape and murder spree leads to a disturbingly explicit descent into Hell. It became the VHS that shocked America. It has been banned in its Motherland for nearly 20 years. And it remains perhaps the most violent and depraved shot-on-video saga in history.

Intervision Picture Corp was formed in 2010 to bring a perverse underbelly of cinema from a universe of its own to DVD. So far releases have included bizarre shot-on-VHS Sledgehammer and Things, Jess Franco's latest Paula-Paula and Ozsploitation oddities Australia After Dark and The ABCs of Love & Sex.

Intervision releases are produced by Severin Films and distributed by CAV.

Next week, a chapter in the SLEEPAWAY CAMP franchise history comes to a close as the world will finally see the release of SLEEPAWAY CAMP IV: THE SURVIVOR* on DVD. John Klyza, editor of SleepawayCampFilms.com, and the mad mind behind the 2002 SLEEPAWAY CAMP "Survival Kit" DVD set from Anchor Bay, have been slaving over Part IV for a decade. The core footage for the third sequel was included as a bonus disc in the Survival Kit set, where it was exhibited in raw form, but Klyza and director Jim Markovic had grander plans for developing it into a full fledged film. Before heading to SleepawayCampFilms.com next week to order up a copy, enjoy our chat with Klyza about his monstrous creation, the culmination of years of determined work born out of a dedication to Angela fans who have been patiently waiting for THE SURVIVOR to come to fruition. In addition, you will find a never-before-seen shot from the production of SLEEPAWAY CAMP IV, and the DVD cover art.

FANGORIA: How did you find the part IV production footage?

JOHN KLYZA: We came across it accidentally when we were putting the boxed set together.

FANG: What role does that footage play in your feature length version?

KLYZA: Back in the early 90s, director Jim Markovic put together a combination of the first three SLEEPAWAY CAMP movies, using the part IV footage from 1992 as a wraparound. That was done for promotional purposes to try and get the funding to make the movie for real. They only shot one or two days back in October of 1992. We pulled it apart, and working with an editor over the last three years, I wrote new scenes using the 1992 footage and scenes from the previous movies. We just kept on going through different cuts trying to create something as new as possible out of the existing footage.


FANG: Was anything new shot to flesh out the story?

KLYZA: Jim Markovic got a voice actress who sounds like Carrie Chambers, who was in the 1992 footage, and got her to record narration so we could make sense of the scenes. That links everything together. When they were originally trying to make this movie in 1992, it was going to be about 75% new footage and 25% old. Because we couldn't shoot anything new, two decades later, I saw my job as producer being to squeeze every last drop out of that 1992 footage. It is flipped now, 25% 1992 footage and 75% archive footage. We broke alot of the scenes from the old movies down into themes, and reconceptualized them, so they have different meaning. It's got fifty death scenes in it, so you can't beat that!

FANG: What kind of new territory does the film head into?

KLYZA: It begins at the end of SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3, with Angela dying in the back of an ambulance, and then goes on to this girl, Alison, who has been having nightmares. She goes back to the campground, which has been abandoned, and she is walking around, trying to figure out what her nightmares and memories are about. It is like, is she Angela? Is she a victim? She has flashbacks, and we try to put a cap on that mystery.


FANG: Is original SLEEPAWAY CAMP creator Robert Hiltzik involved with what you are doing?

KLYZA: No, not at all. The rights are split between two different parties, and what we tried to do with SLEEPAWAY CAMP IV was to try to tie 1, 2, and 3 together into a cohesive storyline. A lot of the fan complaints are over the difference in story direction and tone between the original and the sequels. Part IV was done by Markovic, a third party outside that part 1 vs parts 2 and 3 thing.

FANG: Any talk of re-shooting this as a new film?

KLYZA: Yes. We've been trying to do that, but we want to see how it goes with this first. It has taken twenty years to get to this point. It was important to get this part of the history squared away. We would like to get it shot for real. I did some writing on the script, because they had only done seventy pages or so back in 1992, so the writer asked me to flesh it out a bit. That was fun.

*Not to be confused with 2008's RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP, a direct sequel to the original, both directed by Robert Hiltzik.

Although word leaked out a bit ago that Universal Home Entertainment was going to release Steven Spielberg's Jaws on Blu-ray for the first time on August 14th, the studio made an official announcement today. Full details were revealed and a special Blu-ray "trailer" was released. Read on for the goods!

JAWS – the landmark motion picture that still makes audiences afraid to go in the water – comes to Blu-ray™ for the first time ever on August 14th. Featuring an all-new, digitally remastered and fully restored picture, as well as 7.1 surround sound, the JAWS Blu-ray™ with Digital Copy and UltraViolet™ gives fans the ultimate way to watch the breathtaking and terrifying action-thriller.

One of the most influential motion pictures of all time and nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award®, JAWS stars Oscar® winner Richard Dreyfuss and Oscar® nominees Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw. Produced by legendary filmmakers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown, the film earned an Oscar® for composer John Williams’ instantly recognisable minimalist score, as well as Oscars® for Best Editing and Best Sound. When it was first released in 1975, JAWS smashed box-office records and became the highest-grossing film of its era, earning Spielberg a reputation as a Hollywood visionary. Today, it remains one of the highest-grossing films in motion-picture history and is largely considered the film that launched the summer blockbuster.

JAWS is one of 13 classic Universal films to be digitally remastered and fully restored from 35mm original film elements as part of Universal’s on-going 100th Anniversary celebration. The JAWS restoration began with researching and evaluating the existing film elements to determine the best means to restore the film. Over the course of several months, skilled technicians at Universal Studios Digital Services meticulously balanced colour, removed dirt and scratches, and repaired any damage to the film elements shot by shot and frame by frame. Following the picture restoration, the Universal Studios Sound team up-mixed the iconic JAWS soundtrack to DTS-HD Master 7.1, optimising the sound on the Blu-ray™ for the latest home cinema technology. The entire restoration process was conducted in conjunction with Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment’s post-production team to ensure the integrity of Spielberg’s original vision remained intact.

“JAWS holds a unique place, not just in Universal Pictures’ history, but in global pop culture,” said Craig Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “It is only fitting that this phenomenal film should be given the extensive restoration needed to ensure that long-time fans as well as newcomers can enjoy this unforgettable cinematic achievement for generations to come.”

The JAWS Blu-ray™ is also available in limited edition steelbook packaging and also contains a Digital Copy of the film for a limited time, compatible with iTunes®, iPad®, iPhone®, iPod™ touch, Android or online retail partners, as well as an UltraViolet™ copy. UltraViolet is the revolutionary new way for consumers to collect movies and TV shows in the cloud to download and stream instantly to computers, tablets and smartphones. Consumers can now truly enjoy their movies anytime, anywhere on the platform of their choice.

Would you like to trade collections with me?

I confess that I missed The Woman in Black upon its theatrical release a few months back, but since the film wasn't a huge hit it didn't stay in theaters all that long -- at least in the U.S. In the U.K., however, where the book upon which the film is based, and the resulting play, are hugely popular, Hammer Film's latest was a huge hit. And when horror legend Joe Lansdale stopped by FEARnet's offices a few weeks back for an interview, he described it as one of his favorite recent fright films. So you can be sure I'm gonna check this puppy out when it hits Blu-ray and DVD May 22nd. Check out the full details on the disc after the jump.

Here's the press release we just received regarding the Blu-ray and DVD debut of The Woman in Black: "Daniel Radcliffe stars in THE WOMAN IN BLACK, the hit CBS Films ghost story that scared up more than $53 million at the box office, which will be released on Blu-ray™ and DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on May 22nd. In the supernatural thriller, Radcliffe (Harry Potter) plays Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer who travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman is terrorizing the locals. The film also stars Ciaran Hinds (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Academy Award® nominee Janet McTeer (2011, Supporting Actress, Albert Nobbs) and Liz White (Wild Bill)."

"THE WOMAN IN BLACK Blu-ray™ and DVD both include commentary by the writer and the director as well as two all-new featurettes: "Inside The Perfect Thriller: Making Woman in Black," a discussion with the filmmakers and cast; and "No Fear: Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Kipps," in which Radcliffe discusses the most challenging and interesting parts of playing this character.

"THE WOMAN IN BLACK is directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) and produced by Richard Jackson (Setup), Simon Oakes (Let Me In) and Brian Oliver (The Ides of March). The screenplay is by Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class) and based on the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. The film is a Hammer and Alliance Films presentation, in association with Cross Creek Pictures and is a Talisman production in association with Exclusive Media Group and The UK Film Council. Executive Producers are Guy East, Nigel Sinclair, Tobin Armbrust, Marc Schipper, Neil Dunn, Xavier Marchand, Roy Lee and Tyler Thompson. CBS Films released the film theatrically on February 3, 2012.

Synopsis: Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), a widowed lawyer whose grief has put his career in jeopardy, is sent to a remote village to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric. But upon his arrival, it soon becomes clear that everyone in the town is keeping a deadly secret. Although the townspeople try to keep Kipps from learning their tragic history, he soon discovers that the house belonging to his client is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is determined to find someone and something she lost… and no one, not even the children, are safe from her vengeance.

Blu-ray™ and DVD Special Features include:

Commentary with Director James Watkins and Screenwriter Jane Goldman
Inside The Perfect Thriller: Making Woman in Black Featurette
No Fear: Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Kipps Featurette

We'll lead this double-whammy news item with the good news.

Disney is dipping into its vaults and offloading a bunch of worthy titles to check out/buy on Blu-ray.

Tim Burton's Ed Wood biopic starring Johnny Depp leads the pack. No date has been set, but it's due to hit stores this fall before the end of 2012. Also on tap: Arachnophobia, the nature-run-amok thriller with Jeff Daniels, and the fam-friendly Hocus Pocus - which has a larger cult following than I expected. Those two titles are expected around Halloween.

Now, onto the sequel news...

Bloody-Disgusting is working with Fox Home Entertainment on a promotion and the two have revealed Wrong Turn 5 is officially going into production. Declan O'Brien, who has found success with the series, is back to direct. Here's the official synopsis:

In the next chilling chapter of Wrong Turn, a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are dying for a good time ...

Blu-ray will lose more than a few pounds this August.

In an early announcement to retailers, Olive Films has revealed Stephen King’s Thinner will be available on Blu-ray on August 21, says High Def Digest,

Based on the best-seller, ‘Stephen King’s Thinner’ stars Robert John Burke (‘Robocop 3′) and Joe Mantegna (‘House of Games’) in a story of supernatural terror and countdown to the ultimate payback. “A 109-year old gypsy (Michael Constantine, ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’), hell-bent on revenge, exacts a curse so shocking it compels its victim to gorge himself in an effort to avoid shrinking away to nothingness. With time running out and a torture so bizarre and powerful, even death seems a more likely option. Directed by Tom Holland (‘The Langoliers’).”

Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray will be $29.95.

Now that Darren Lynn Bousman's redo of Mother's Day has hit the States, it's time to revisit the original cult classic.

Troma's Mother's Day is going to hit Blu-ray for the first time courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment on September 4th. Originally released by Troma Entertainment in 1980, directed by Charles Kaufman and written by Kaufman and Warren Leight, the original Mother’s Day follows three young women abducted by homicidal momma’s boys Ike and Addley, while camping. Ike and Addley are goaded by their “Mother” into violent and graphic acts of torture against the three women. While doing everything to stay alive, the three women muster the courage escape, and serve their maniacal abductors some old-fashioned justice.

The presentation features an all-new HD transfer, and never-before-seen bonus features, including commentary, behind-the-scenes footage, and a newly created featurette with genre favorite Eli Roth.

Warner Home Entertainment is bringing Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors, the musical from 1986, to Blu-ray on October 9th and it's coming with a newly-restored 20-minute alternate ending.

In the film, Rick Moranis plays a nerdish florist who finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

The Blu will come with the theatrical cut and the director's cut in a 40-page book pack.

If you recall, the alternate ending was rather apocalyptic - it was featured in the trading cards at the time of the film's release (photos of massive plants taking over New York City had me wondering what the hell I missed out on after I saw the flick in the theater). And, I believe, the alternate ending made it on to DVD before Warner Bros. recalled the title, removed the ending and re-released the disc.

The Blu will come with commentary, a featurette and deleted scenes.

The announcement rides on the heels of Warner's intentions to remake Little Shop of Horrors with producer and actor Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Fifteen of the most acclaimed films by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock come together on Blu-ray for the first time ever when Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection is released on September 25, 2012 for a limited time only.

Digitally restored from high-quality film elements and presented in perfect high-definition picture and sound, Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection brings the Master of Suspense's best work to home audiences as it's never been seen before. This ultimate collector's set features 13 films previously unavailable on Blu-ray, a collectible 50-page book featuring storyboards, costume sketches, correspondence, photographs, and much more. Plus a treasure trove of over 15 hours of documentaries, filmmaker commentaries, interviews, screen tests, trailers and a new documentary "The Birds, Hitchcock's Monster Movie," enough to satisfy even the most ardent Hitchcock fan.

One of the most influential and revered cinematic innovators of all time, Alfred Hitchcock had a profound and lasting impact on modern moviemaking. Renowned for his signature wit, thrilling plots, pioneering camerawork and original editing style, Hitchcock's masterful ability to wring every drop of suspense out of each scene is still studied and emulated by filmmakers around the world. He was nominated for five Best Director Academy Awards, and four of his films (all of which are included in this collection) appear on AFI's prestigious "100 Years…100 Movies" list.

Dial M for Murder, Alfred Hitchock’s suspense classic, was among the first films that helped Warner Bros. introduce 3D in U.S. theatres in the early ‘50s.

Now, thanks to advanced Blu-ray technology and the tireless efforts of Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Imaging division, Warner Home Video has meticulously and painstakingly restored the original 3D presentation, and, when Dial M for Murder Blu-ray 3D debuts October 9th, audiences will finally be able to see the film in their homes as it was originally meant to be seen. A 2D version will also be included for those who have yet to upgrade TVs and players to 3D.

Originally designed to lure audiences away from their TV sets, 3D utilized a “left-eye/right-eye” dual projection process and polarized glasses, the basis for what is seen today. However, with the advent of CinemaScope (“the miracle you can see without glasses”) and the higher costs associated with 3D, the fad was fading by the time Dial M for Murder was released in theatres. As a result, most 1954 moviegoers only saw the film projected in 2D, and it wasn’t until the early 1980s that a classic 3D film revival allowed Dial M for Murder to be briefly seen theatrically, albeit in a “faux 3D” 70 mm composite print.

To ready Dial M for Murder for this current release, MPI’s work included a 4K scan of the original camera negative, and a full restoration of the two “eyes,” as well as convergence fixes to ensure perfect alignment.

Ranked number 9 on the American Film Institute's 2008 list of the 10 greatest films in the "Mystery" genre, Dial M for Murder was adapted by Frederick Knott from his hit Broadway stage play. The film stars two Oscar winners: Grace Kelly (Best Actress in a Leading Role, The Country Girl, 1954) in her Hitchcock film debut and Ray Milland (Best Actor in a Leading Role, The Lost Weekend, 1945). Robert Cummings (“The Bob Cummings Show”) and John Williams (Midnight Lace) also star.

This time, Michael returns to Haddonfield for Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris, Halloween 5, The Last Boy Scout) – the orphaned daughter of Laurie Strode – and her babysitter Rachel (Ellie Cornell, Halloween 5, House of the Dead).

Other Blu-ray releases from Disney that month include Arachnophobia, Hocus Pocus and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle on September 4th, which is also the date on which Lionsgate will release Mad Monster Party. Here's the film's official press release (Ed Wood deets are still TBA):

"Baron Von Frankenstein has decided to retire as the head of the Worldwide Organization of Monsters. But first, he must inform the other monsters about his plans. How to deliver the news? How else - through a Mad Monster Party! Von Frankenstein's guests include a who's who of Halloween favorites, including the Werewolf, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and more. But who among them is fit to be the new head of the monsters?"

Lionsgate's Blu-ray/DVD combo pack presents the feature in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio with a monaural DTS-HD Master Audio track. The disc also contains the following supplements:

Synopses and Bonus Features

Dracula (1931)

The original 1931 movie version of Bram Stoker’s classic tale has for generations defined the iconic look and terrifying persona of the famed vampire.

The Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection includes the original version of this chilling and evocative tale, as well as the rarely seen Spanish version of Dracula. Filmed simultaneously with the English language version, the Spanish version of Dracula is an equally ominous vision of the horror classic shot with the same sets and script.

With its co-star Josh Henderson now part of the hit reboot of the classic ’80s TV series DALLAS, David DeCoteau is rereleasing his creature feature LEECHES! on DVD later this year, in a brand new special edition that is guaranteed not to suck. Read on for DeCoteau’s comments and the full details/art.

Scripted by Fango’s own Michael Gingold, the 2003 nature-amok flick (in which a college swim team’s steroid use results in bloodsuckers in a nearby lake getting big and vicious) is getting the preferential treatment with a 16x9-enhanced 2.35:1 transfer and new special features, streeting November 6. Also along for the ride is SPEED DEMON, a DeCoteau feature from the same year about a mysterious driver in a muscle car that takes on a brutal small-town gang. “Over the years, LEECHES! and SPEED DEMON! have gained a huge following,” the director tells Fango. “Many of the DVD releases of these titles have been full-frame. Since I shot the films in 2.35:1 Cinemascope, I have decided to rerelease both titles together letterboxed: LEECHES! in 16x9 and SPEED DEMON in 4x3, preserving the widescreen look as I intended the movies to be seen.”

In addition to the feature presentation’s mutant mayhem, DeCoteau promises a boatload of skin-crawling extras. “I created a 100-minute making-of documentary for LEECHES! that includes bloopers, never-before-seen photos, outtakes, on-camera interviews with one of the creators and more. I also recorded a new audio commentary with Michael Gingold where we both talk about the making of the film. And I’m including an e-mail address where fans of the film can contact Rapid Heart and get their very own PDF copy of the shooting script. I’m really thrilled with this disc!”

There were some minor rumblings about this yesterday, but Image has forwarded the official word along...

On September 4th, Image Entertainment resurrects one of the greatest horror films ever made with the Blu-ray debut of Stuart Gordon’s cult classic H.P. Lovecraft’s Re-Animator. Presented in a brand-new 1080p HD transfer approved by producer Brian Yuzna, the 1985 shocker was ranked #32 of 50 on EW’s “Top 50 Cult Films,” inspired two sequels as well as an award-winning stage musical!

Featuring high-resolution DTS-HD audio and packed with bonus features, the Re-Animator Blu-ray hits retail with an SRP of $17.97.

Adapted by Dennis Paoli, William J. Norris and Stuart Gordon from the H.P. Lovecraft short story, Re-Animator tells the strange tale of medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton), both of them drawn to odd new student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) who’s conducting secret experiments involving the re-animation of dead tissue. When one of the instructors, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), stumbles upon their activities, West murders him -- but is brought back to life, now thirsting for revenge as well as lusting after Megan. The final denouement features the re-animated Dr. Hill squaring off against Herbert and Dan in a battle royale within the school’s morgue, complete with resurrected “henchmen” and undoubtedly one of the greatest visual double entendres in all horror cinema!

Bonus features for the Re-Animator Blu-ray include...

Documentary: “Re-Animator Resurrectus”
Audio Commentary by Director Stuart Gordon
Audio Commentary by Producer Brian Yuzna and Actors Bruce Abbott, Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton and Robert Sampson

Between 2002 and 2004, Warner Home Video individually released DVDs with 3 separate mini- series productions based on Stephen King novels: Salem's Lot (the 2004 version starring Rob Lowe of The West Wing, Parks & Recreation), 1997's The Shining (starring Steven Weber of Wings and Rebecca De Mornay of Risky Business), and 1990's It starring Harry Anderson (Night Court), Annette O'Toole (Smallville) and John Ritter (Three's Company). On October 16th Warner is re-releasing all three of these together as one 6-DVD package, named the Triple Terror Collection, at one low cost. We don't have the exact cost yet, but we do have the package art for this new release. Check it out:

I already pre-ordered the Puppet Master I-III Blu-rays.

This series was long overdue for some new features and I am looking forward to the new commentaries.

Full Moon did a great job with the original Puppet Master on Blu-ray (as well as the original Subspecies) and I can't wait to see the others get the HD treatment, especially PM III as it's my second favorite PM film.

I think I'll be getting the Puppetmaster Blu Rays.

The 1980s were a glorious time in the horror genre, and one of the main reasons was the Scream Queen. Scream Queens were the lovely, buxom heroines in slasher films. They were frequently naked, and rarely victims. The true Scream Queens were found in the more salacious films, and were frequently direct-to-video. Women like Jamie Lee Curtis and Heather Langenkamp were often deemed Scream Queens (for Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, respectively). But the true, original Scream Queens are Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer. The three women have well over 300 credits among them, with titles like Sorority Babes in the Slime Ball Bowl-a-Rama, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Creepozoids, Slumber Party Massacre, Death Row Diner, and Terror Night.

These little-known heroines are finally getting their due with a documentary called Screaming in High Heels: The Rise and Fall of the Scream Queen Era. "Featuring iconic directors of the time including David DeCoteau (Creepozoids), Richard Gabai (Nightmare Sisters), Fred Olen Ray (The Tomb), Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era takes viewers through the prime of the "Trio" as they rule the screen with their sex appeal and vocal cords, and ultimately, into their very real demise from the genre that made them blood covered stars."

The documentary hits DVD on August 28th.

Basket Case 3: The Progeny is making its way back onto DVD.

Frank Henenlotter's threequel made its debut on disc back in '04 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Synapse has picked up the title, however, for a re-issue which streets on October 9th.

Belial, everyone's favorite beast-in-a-basket, is back in BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY, the sensational third film in Frank Henenlotter's wildly macabre horror series. After being separated again from his conjoined twin brother Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck), Belial finds out he’s going to be a deformed daddy! Mrs. Belial (“Eve,” played by Denise Coop) delivers a litter of bouncing baby monsters, but the blessed event turns into a nightmarish ordeal when the police kidnap the little critters. They should know it’s not safe to anger Belial! Attacking the cops in a climactic, gory rampage, everyone’s favorite mutant mauler stops at nothing to get his newborns back!

The special features will only include the original theatrical trailer.

Next to Tremors, I personally believe Deep Rising is one of the best monster movies to come out of the '90s.

Released in January (considered prime dumping grounds for films a studio didn't know what to do with) of 1998, the film stars Treat Williams, Famke Janssen and the creature design work of Rob Bottin.

Oh, and it was an early Stephen Sommers film - y'know, the guy who gave us The Mummy reboot and Van Helsing.

After directing films like 1993's The Adventures of Huck Finn and '94's The Jungle Book, Sommers needed to exercise his love for monster flicks and so he penned Deep Rising. It's clever, it's gruesome and it's prime "Treat Williams." All in all, great stuff.

And it's coming to Blu-ray courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment on October 9th. Sadly, no bonus features are coming with this presentation, but it is being packaged with the serviceable The Puppet Masters. You remember that one, don't you? Head inside for the specs.

Deep Rising - Buckle up for edge-of-your seat excitement with the explosive hit DEEP RISING, an unstoppable high seas action thriller that moves at full scream ahead! When a band of ruthless hijackers invade the world's most luxurious cruise ship, they're shocked to discover the passengers have mysteriously vanished! But that doesn't mean they are alone! Something terrifying is lurking just out of sight: a deadly force from the unexplored depths of the ocean that begins to snatch the horrified intruders one by one! Treat Willliams (THE DEVIL'S OWN) and sexy Famke Janssen (GOLDENEYE, ROUNDERS) lead a group of survivors who must overcome incredible odds in their breathtaking battle to escape the doomed ship alive!

The Puppet Masters – Here's the edge-of-your-seat thriller that delivers unrelenting suspense and nonstop action! Donald Sutherland leads a team of top-level government agents who make a chilling discovery – extraterrestrial beings have landed on Earth and are quickly taking control of the residents of a small midwestern town – manipulating their bodies and minds like puppets!

Woot! Finally ordered it! Can't wait!

I was so glad to get my Puppet Master I-III Blu-ray mini-box set this morning. I'm guessing those who pre-ordered them are getting them earlier than the street date (Tues. - Sept. 18th).

It says "Volume 1" which would mean that we should expect to see more PM films get the HD treatment at some point.




I watched the new video intro. that Charles Band made for the release (it's the same intro. on both PM II and PM III) and he explained that they're working on re-mastering many of their films:

Subspecies, Trancers, Dollman, Demonic Toys, The Pit and the Pendulum...

Band said that it's a very expensive process and it could take up to four years for these films to come out in HD.




At some point when I have more time I will watch PM II and PM III with the new audio commentaries. I wish they did a new commentary for the original one too, but oh well.

By the way, the original Puppet Master Blu-ray that came with this set is the same one released back in 2010.

I'm definitely going to pick up the Puppet Master Blu-Rays!

Hopefully they'll release all of the Transfers films, I'd even like to see them do Dollman Vs Demonic Toys.

I'd love to see Zone Troopers, and Ghost Town '88 get Blu Ray releases.

Synapse Films is bringing Roy Frumkes’ amazing 1978 documentary Document of the Dead - an intimate look at George Romero’s creative process and the making of Dawn of the Dead - is coming to Blu-ray/DVD in a "definitive" edition on November 13th.

The doc is already an outstanding collection of interviews, effects demonstrations (courtesy of make-up artist, Tom Savini) and behind-the-scenes footage, however, this newly re-edited and re-mastered 2012 version of the award-winning documentary will contain all-new exclusive material including additional interviews with Romero’s family and friends, candid on-set footage from Two Evil Eyes, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead.

The Definitive Document of the Dead BD/DVD Combo is LIMITED to 1500 copies, and is only available through the Synapse website. It will not be sold in stores.

The release contains a DVD of the new version of The Definitive Document of the Dead (along with the new commentary), as well as a Blu-ray of the original 66 minute 16mm 1979 version of the doc, created for educational use at The School of Visual Arts, remastered in high-definition. Also included in this limited edition combo is a fold-out poster, created by artist Wes Benscoter, of the new George A. Romero painting used on the cover art.

I have Document on VHS, and it was also included in the 4-disc Dawn Of The Dead Ultimate Edition....I might get the Blu Ray since it looks like it has lots of extras.

Warner Home Entertainment is bringing Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors, the musical from 1986, to Blu-ray on October 9th and it's coming with a newly-restored 20-minute alternate ending.

In the film, Rick Moranis plays a nerdish florist who finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

The Blu will come with the theatrical cut and the director's cut in a 40-page book pack.

If you recall, the alternate ending was rather apocalyptic - it was featured in the trading cards at the time of the film's release (photos of massive plants taking over New York City had me wondering what the hell I missed out on after I saw the flick in the theater). And, I believe, the alternate ending made it on to DVD before Warner Bros. recalled the title, removed the ending and re-released the disc.

The Blu will come with commentary, a featurette and deleted scenes.

The announcement rides on the heels of Warner's intentions to remake Little Shop of Horrors with producer and actor Joseph Gordon Levitt.

NYFF 2012: Directors Reflect on Restored Little Shop of Horrors
9/29/2012
by Ashley Lee


Among the recent releases is a digitally restored director’s cut of Little Shop of Horrors, the 1986 adaptation of the off-Broadway musical with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.

The Saturday night screening at NYFF features a different ending, previously seen only on limited edition DVDs of the film – now out of print.



“The director’s cut really is basically the last twenty minutes of it – things had to change for about ten minutes prior to the ending,” director Frank Oz told THR. “It’s really exciting to see what the reaction will be for people who have never seen this ending before. I’m very curious.”



Horrors actress Ellen Greene said she appreciated the work Oz, Warner Bros. and restorer Kurt Galvao put in to making the new version happen, calling it "a dream come true."

“It’s just such an honor for me, for [screenwriter] Howard Ashman -- Alan Menkin and I love and miss him so much,” she said.

I was in Best Buy today and I picked up the 12-Film Collection of Puppet Master and Killjoy.

It contains PM 1-9 and Killjoy 1-3 on three discs in 1 box.

I got it because I've never seen the Killjoy films and for its price of $7.99

If someone is new to the Puppet Master films this set is probably the best thing to get if you want to sample them. It doesn't contain any special features though.

I've seen the first 3 Killjoys, eh, they're ok. I do prefer the sequels, partly because of Trent Haaga taking over the role of Killjoy. I did like the villains they introduced in the 3rd one like Batty Boop.

Now they're making Killjoy Goes To Hell.

Trent's had an interesting career in the horror genre. He was horror fan who caught a lucky break with Troma. Even ended up writing Toxic Avenger IV, and the excellent Deadgirl. And directed the more recent Chop starring fellow Troma alumni Will Keenan.

Killjoy Goes to Hell is already on DVD.

Damn that was fast haha

I went through the 3 Killjoy films pretty quickly, they're less than 90 minutes.

I enjoyed 3 the most and I may get 4 soon because Killjoy's friends come back in it.

In 1987 Charles Band directed "PULSESPOUNDERS", an anthology film comprised of three 30 minute sequels to the biggest hits of Empire Pictures: "H.P. LOVECRAFT's THE EVIL CLERGYMAN", a "TRANCERS" sequel, and a sequel to "THE DUNGEONMASTER". "PULSEPOUNDERS" was shot and edited in 1988 before circumstances prevented it from being released. In addition the original 35mm negative for the 3 episodes has never been found. For the last 25 years, fans have been excited to see any footage from this lost treasure.

In 2011 a "PULSEPOUNDERS" work print on VHS was discovered. Charles Band and a team of digital experts have been working for the last year digitally restoring it. Richard Band, the composer of classic film scores such as "RE-ANIMATOR" and "PUPPER MASTER" has composed an original lavish 1980's style score for it! The first of the "lost" "PULSEPOUNDERS" episodes to be restored, "H.P. LOVECRAFT's THE EVIL CLERGYMAN" re-unites horror's hottest duo: Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton! "THE EVIL CLERGYMAN" also stars horror legends David Warner and David Gale (Dr. Hill from "RE-ANIMATOR"). The historic cinematic premiere was attended by director Charles Band, stars Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, and composer Richard Band in Chicago at Flashback Weekend. Screenings have also been arranged for the H.P. Lovecraft festivals in both Los Angeles and Portland.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

THE PREMIERE OF EVIL CLERGYMAN DOCUMENTARY: shot at the Aug. 11th 2012 premiere of Evil Clergyman at the Muvico Theaters Rosemont in Chicago! Including exclusive interviews with JEFFREY COMBS, BARBARA CRAMPTON, RICHARD BAND & CHARLES BAND!
60 seconds of un-restored footage from the PULSEPOUNDERS TRANCERS SEQUEL! – to premiere at Flashback Weekend August 9-11, 2013!

This is cool! I'm definitely getting it.

On DVD December 11 from Troma is the Japanese cut of The Toxic Avenger. An additional four minutes have been added to this version!

From Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, and starring Mitch Cohen, Andree Maranda and Mark Torgl, “Welcome to Tromaville, New Jersey — a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town’s corrupt mayor sits idly by while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy, emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes The Toxic Avenger! A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window and into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the Toxic Avenger, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The rest, as they say, is history! The excitement is non-stop as the hero sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. The Toxic Avenger is non-stop entertainment that will leave the viewers glowing from the fun.”

Bonus Features also include Production Stills and Trailers.

Two grimy, low-rent, regional sleaze-fests guaranteed to leave even the most jaded genre film fans scratching their heads in disbelief.

SAVAGE WATER (1979)
Regional horror filmmaking at its most bare-bones, Paul Kener’s Utah lensed proto-giallo is a schizoid blend of big budget home movie and ultra cheap sleaze.
Director: Paul Kener
95 minutes / Color / AR: 1.85:1

DEATH BY INVITATION (1971)
One of producer Leonard Kirtman’s odd ventures into horror filmmaking, ‘Death’ is an effectively gritty tale of 20th century witchery topped off with a pleasant touch of psychedelia.
Director: Ken Friedman
81 minutes / Color / AR: 1.85:1

Features Include:
+ Dual Layer DVD-9 | Region Free | 16:9 Anamorphic | 1.85:1 AR | MONO
+ 2k scan from 35mm theatrical prints
+ Two commentary tracks by: The Hysteria Continues

One of the ’80s’ best direct-to-video sequels is coming home again, this time getting its due with a special-edition DVD and Blu-ray. New discs of the cult classic THE MONSTER SQUAD are on the way as well.

NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2 (pictured), the Brian Trenchard-Smith-directed follow-up to Kevin Tenney’s cult favorite, gets the dual-format release February 19 from Olive Films. Amelia Kinkade returns as the demonic Angela, making Halloween night hell for another group of young people (this time from a religious school) who make the mistake of partying at Hull House. With impressive makeup and monster FX by Steve Johnson, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2 will be presented in 1.78 anamorphic widescreen on the discs, with audio commentary by Trenchard-Smith and cinematographer David Lewis. The same day, Olive also issues a new DVD and Blu-ray of writer/director Fred Dekker and co-scripter Shane Black’s THE MONSTER SQUAD, remastered in HD at 2.35:1 widescreen but with no special features announced. Retail prices for each title are $19.95 for the DVD, $29.95 for the Blu-ray.

Silent Hill: Revelation will be available on 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, On Demand and Digital Download on February 12, 2013 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father (Sean Bean) have always tried to stay one step ahead of the malevolent forces intent on their destruction. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, a dangerous revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in a nightmarish landscape forever. Based on the hugely popular video game series and written and directed by Michael

It doesn't appear there are any special features included as the press release sent out does not mention any.

The sequel opened in the fall and grossed an estimated $17 million domestically. It fared much better overseas grossing $26.9 million.

Just wanted to share a pic of my copy of The Basement Camp Retro 80's Collection. If you're a fan of super low budget horror, especially shot-on-vids/Super 8's from the 80's, this is a must have.

This is the first release on any media for The Basement, which is why they also included a copy of it on VHS as this would have been what it would have gotten put out on if it had come out back then. If it wasn't for Camp Retro the film would have been left forgotten. This is also the first time another flick included in the set is released on DVD: Captives. Each film comes with an audio commentary.

Torgo, I had a question. I heard that there is a Walmart exclusive Blu-ray release of When a Stranger Calls and Happy Birthday to Me that came out recently.

Do you know if the Happy Birthday to Me on this release has the original music?

Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem.

Do note post #141 about When A Stranger Calls
You would know better about what the poster is talking about and if he is accurate (i mean once you have the Blu-Ray)

I hate to say it, but I've only skimmed through the middle of WaSC. However, in the urban legend opening, there are two editing differences in the audio:

1. The BD removed the "Who?" in Carol Kane's "Who? ... Bobby!", when talking to Nancy.
2. The BD removed the angry phone-pickup effect as well as Carol's frustrated "HELLO?!" after she returns from the kitchen.

Fortunately these aren't completely muted moments, as you can still hear the background track(s) ...

I'm just wondering if this is how it was presented theatrically. In other words, has something been REMOVED from the BD or for all these years were the home releases prior to the BD ADDING these elements

I would assume the former, though the lossless track is by far superior to the DVD's AC-3 and it states on the back of the cover that the original studio track was used.

I'm glad they've re released Happy Birthday To Me with the original score. Back when they released the other version I was happy it was finally released on DVD, then I learned of the "new" score, and that they even left out the end theme song(one of the greatest horror movie theme songs) I passed, not to mention the horrible DVD art. I was going to just be happy with my home made DVD, then Anchor Bay released their version with score intact. Sort of bummed though there is zero special features.

(Thanks JamesG!)

More double-dipping on Subspecies, here I come!

(I have the DVD box set and the first one on Blu-ray)



However, I got a great deal w/ the Subspecies DVD box set. I bought it when Full Moon had a 50%-off Valentine's Day sale and got the $60.00 box set for $30.00 w/ no shipping.

That's what I did for the Puppet Master DVD box set five years ago. I got the $100.00 set for $50.00 w/ no shipping on a Christmas sale. It's good to keep checking the Full Moon site for those half-price discounts to get the more expensive items.

Thanks for the heads up on those deals! I'll start popping up on there.

Years ago Troma had a sale- All DVDs for 25 cents each, I bought a bunch of movies, and that's the only way to buy from their site directly because they have such high shipping costs. They had such an influx of orders that it took over a month before I got my DVDs, but it was worth it, they even threw in a comic book and poster. It hasn't happened again sense, which is too bad because now they're releasing better quality DVDs.

It was worth it for being half-price w/ no shipping.

Believed lost since its sole screening in 1974, the insane Vancouver-shot horror porn flick Sexcula has been a holy grail for intrepid horror-sleaze grindhouse fans. Now, thanks to Impulse Pictures and Synapse Films, the film is making its DVD world premiere this spring.



Debbie Collins plays dual roles as vampiric Countess Sexcula (who will "Suck more than your blood") and a horny human bride. Bizarro highlights include a naked picnic, a “girl-on-gorilla” striptease, and a female “pleasure-robot.” The region-free DVD of Sexcula is taken from the only known theatrical print in existence (found in the basement of the Candian Film Archive!), and features liner notes by “Porn Archeologist” Dimitrios Otis and the original theatrical trailer.




The DVD is slated for release on April 9th. Drop by Synapse Films for ordering info.

(Thanks, JamesG!)

Might make a good double feature with Suckula.

Have to say I am curious about this one, these 70's horror porn horror hybrids(outside the mean spirited ones like Water Power and Forced Entry) are fun curios.

Released 2 days after my birthday, now I know what to ask Mrs. Torgo for.

Look at that, Curandero is finally making its way to the U.S.

Robert Rodriguez penned and co-produced the film which was directed by Eduardo Rodriguez back in 2005, the film is hitting DVD from Lionsgate Home Entertainment on March 12th.

Starring longtime Rodriguez collaborator Carlos Gallardo (El Mariachi, Grindhouse, Desperado), Curandero: Dawn of the Demon takes a couple on a horrifying journey through the deepest bowels of the Mexican underworld. When beautiful federal agent Magdalena calls upon the local curandero (Gallardo) for his services to purify a police station, the two of suddenly find themselves immersed in a satanic cult's blood-thirsty battleground.

Meanwhile, Shout! Facotry has acquired the the U.S and Canadian distribution rights to the French horror action thriller Dead Shadows.

Shout! Factory plans a strategic rollout of the film on all packaged media, electronic-sell-through (EST), video-on-demand (VOD), subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) and television. Look for it later this year.

David Cholewa’s first feature film tells the story about a young man, Chris, whose parents were brutally killed 11 years ago, on the same day that the comet of Haley could be seen from earth. Tonight, a new comet is going to appear and everyone in his building are getting ready for a party to celebrate the event. There's even an apocalypse theory going around. As the night falls, Chris starts to discover that people are acting strange - and it seems to somehow be connected to the comet. People are becoming disoriented and violent and it doesn't take long before they start mutating into something from beyond this world. In a fight for survival, Chris has to try to escape from his building with the help from some other tenants - but will they make it out alive?

On April 23rd, Shout! Factory will unleash Norwegian blockbuster thriller hit Cold Prey II DVD on home entertainment shelves everywhere.

Starring popular international actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) and directed by Mats Stenberg, the sequel continues the tension from the original smash hit Cold Prey.

This is the first time this title is being made available in the U.S.

During the winter in 2006 four youth faced a brutal death in the Norwergian mountains of Jotunheimen. Only one woman named survived. Frozen and weak, Jannicke is brought to the local hospital, along with the body of the vicious mountain man whom she’d killed. But when she wakes up in the hospital, the building is dark and deserted…and she soon realizes that her nightmare is not yet over.

A pair of Japanese genre features—one creepy, one crazy—are coming to scare U.S. viewers on DVD and Blu-ray—one with an extra dimension. We’ve got exclusive details and peeks at the cover art.

Well Go USA will release TORMENTED (pictured above), from JU-ON and THE GRUDGE creator Takashi Shimizu, on disc and digital April 2, and DEADBALL, Yudai Yamaguchi’s variation on his cult fave BATTLEFIELD BASEBALL, in those formats April 9. TORMENTED, a.k.a. RABBIT HORROR, focuses on a troubled young boy (Takeru Shibuya) who sleepwalks into a strange realm where he’s pursued by a human-sized rabbit—echoing his killing of a sick bunny on a playground—and his mute half-sister (Hikari Mitsushima) who must rescue him. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle, TORMENTED will be presented in 3D on the Blu-ray, with no special features announced. DEADBALL stars VERSUS and YAKUZA WEAPON’s Tak Sakaguchi as a juvenile delinquent with a literal killer fastball who becomes part of reform school baseball team, facing off against a sexy, murderous rival team from St. Black Dahlia High School. This one will sport over 50 minutes of bonus features, including:

• FINAL DEADBALL spinoff short

• “The Making of DEADBALL” featurette

• Cast interviews

Retail prices for each are $24.98 for the DVD, $29.98 for the Blu-ray. Read our exclusive interview with Yamaguchi and Sakaguchi on DEADBALL here, and see the trailers for both movies (TORMENTED’s is unsubtitled) below the art.

Maybe they'll release VanBebber's other film Deadbeat At Dawn on Blu Ray. I have the set- Visions of Hell: The Films of Jim VanBebber, which includes both The Manson Family, and Deadbeat, plus his short films.

We’re always up for a fun killer-scarecrow flick, and one from the ’90s is finally stalking its way onto U.S. disc for the first time; keep reading for a first peek at the cover art.

Olive Films has announced that it will release 1995’s NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW April 30 on DVD and Blu-ray, both in anamorphic widescreen with special features to be announced. Directed by Jeff Burr of STEPFATHER II and THE OFFSPRING and scripted by Reed Steiner and Dan Mazur, the film takes place in a small town where partying teenagers accidentally free an evil spirit that takes over a nearby scarecrow, which sets out on a vengeful murder spree. Elizabeth Barondes and John Mese star, and the cool supporting cast includes OFFICE SPACE’s Stephen Root, veteran character actors Bruce Glover and Dirk Blocker, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY’s Gary Lockwood, future Oscar nominee John Hawkes and Hammer glamour gal Martine Beswick. Retail prices are $24.95 for the DVD, $29.95 for the Blu-ray.

NEKROMANTIK25THDVDFEAT

Has it really been 25 years since NEKROMANTIK first shocked and awed the international horror scene? It has, and we’ve got the details on the movie’s first U.S. DVD edition, along with the cover art.

New disc producer/distributor Titan Video will release Jörg Buttgereit’s cult classic of corpse-porking art on a 25th-anniversary disc, available for pre-order soon. “Titan Video was founded with one principle in mind,” according to a company statement, “which became our philosophy: quality releases of horror, cult and exploitation films for fans and collectors alike, and we thought of no better way than to start our venture with a film like NEKROMANTIK.” The DVD will come with a two-sided cover insert (designs by Avery Frawley seen below); a third cover will front a special Signature Edition, limited to 100 copies, that Buttgereit will sign at New Jersey’s Chiller Theatre convention next month.

NEKROMANTIK will be presented in a new 1.33:1 digital transfer mastered from producer Manfred O. Jelinski’s 16mm internegative, in German with removable English subtitles. Special features include:

• Audio commentary by writer/director Buttgereit and co-scripter Franz Rodenkirchen

• Liner notes by Buttgereit and COMBAT SHOCK director Buddy Giovinazzo

• Featurette with outtakes and interviews with Buttgereit and Jelinski

• “The Making of NEKROMANTIK,” including behind-the-scenes footage

• Extensive gallery of over 100 stills from the collection of Buttgereit and Jelinski

• Buttgereit’s Super-8 short film HOT LOVE, which will also be issued on a limited-edition VHS

I've never seen it, but I know of Savage Vengeance's negative reputation. I'm curious to hear what Camille Keaton has to say about it since she distanced herself from the film (even going under a false name in the credits).

I recently picked up the cheap DVD made back in 2000 from someone's garage sale and I will get to it at some point.

A pair of cult-classic shriekers from the 1970s starring genre-vet actors have been restored for hi-def disc; read on for the details and a first look at the cover art.

Severin Films has announced that it will issue 1976’s THE HOUSE ON STRAW HILL and 1974’s THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES on Blu-ray/DVD combo packs June 11. STRAW HILL, a.k.a. TRAUMA and EXPOSÉ (and remade a few years back as STALKER by director Martin Kemp and producer Jonathan Sothcott), stars Udo Kier as a blocked writer who retreats to a rural house with his wife (Fiona Richmond) and a sexy secretary (BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW’s Linda Hayden) and attempts to write a new novel, but temptation, psychosis and violence rear their ugly heads instead. Banned in Britain for 30 years as a “video nasty” and remastered here in 16×9-enhanced 1.77:1 widescreen from the original camera negative (discovered in a British barn!), the film will be accompanied by commentary by writer/director James Kenelm Clarke and cast/crew interviews.

In SEVEN CORPSES, a movie crew makes the mistake of shooting a horror flick in an actual haunted house; John Carradine, John Ireland and Faith Domergue co-star. Transferred in 16×9-enhanced 1.85:1 widescreen from original vault materials, this one will come with commentary by co-producer Gary Kent and film historian Lars Nilsen, and an exclusive archive interview with Carradine. Retail prices are $29.95 each.

Back in the '80s and early-'90s, Linnea Quigley ruled the horror scream queen scene. When she wasn't starring in films like Night of the Demons or Return of the Living Dead, she was doing oddball efforts like Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout. Some of us still own this on VHS, however, it's making its way to DVD for the first time. It's up for pre-sale now with copies shipping April 11th.



Directed by Kenneth J. Hall and starring Quigley, the workout tape was originally released in 1990 and features special effects from Cleve Hall (TV’s "Monster Man"). A campy, gory parody of the workout videos of the '80s, the film was created to capitalize on Quigley’s explosive popularity and rabid fan base. In it, Quigley teaches a bevy of big-haired, lingerie-clad beauties the proper way to tone and stretch, while a masked killer stalks them one by one. She also takes time out to show an army of out-of-shape, flesh-eating zombies the best ways to keep fit.

A first run Limited Edition of 1,000 units will come with a numbered 5x7 photo signed by Linnea Quigley and Kenneth J. Hall. This package includes a digital re-mastering of the original uncut version of the film, presented with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as the following special features:

Audio Commentary with Director Kenneth J. Hall
New Retrospective Featurette with Cast & Crew including Stars Linnea Quigley, Cleave Hall, David Deceatou, Director Kenneth J. Hall and others!

Criterion announces new “DEVIL’S BACKBONE” discs
DEVILSBACKBONECRITERIONFEAT

Having already put out a sterling special edition of Guillermo del Toro’s CRONOS, The Criterion Collection will bring the director’s terrific 2001 ghost story THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE to DVD and Blu-ray in July.

Like his subsequent smash PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE sees del Toro exploring the horrors of wartime though a supernatural prism and the eyes of a child—in this case a 10-year-old boy in an orphanage during the Spanish Civil War who confronts human evil and a lingering specter. Criterion’s Blu-ray and two-DVD set, streeting July 30, will present the movie in a new 2K digital film restoration in 1.85:1 widescreen, approved by del Toro and cinematographer Guillermo Navarro, with new English-subtitle translations, plus 5.1 Surround DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray. Special features include:

DEVILSBACKBONECRITERIONNEWS• Audio commentary by del Toro

• Video introduction by del Toro from 2010

• New interviews with Del Toro about the process of creating the ghost Santi and the drawings and designs made in preparation for the film

• ¿QUÉ ES UN FANTASMA?, a 2004 making-of documentary

• “Spanish Gothic,” a 2010 interview with del Toro about the genre and its influence on his work

• Interactive director’s notebook, with del Toro’s drawings and handwritten notes, along with interviews with the filmmaker

• Four deleted scenes with optional commentary

• New featurette about the Spanish Civil War as evoked in the film

• Program comparing del Toro’s thumbnail sketches and Carlos Giménez’s storyboards with the final film

• Selected on-screen presentation of del Toro’s thumbnail sketches alongside the sections of the final film they represent (Blu-ray only)

• Trailer

• Booklet featuring an essay by critic Mark Kermode

Retail prices are $29.95 for the DVD set, $39.95 for the Blu-ray.

The Devil's Backbone is a great movie.

I haven't seen it in years.

Need to rent and watch again before I buy a Blu ray (especially at Criterion's prices).

Hope I still like it as much.

Synapse Films' collection of classic Hammer releases expands this summer with the U.S. Blu-ray debut of Peter Sasdy's 1971 supernatural serial killer thriller Hands of the Ripper. Considered one of Hammer's bloodiest productions (with the gore quotient upped to meet audiences' craving for more graphic horror), the film stars Angharad Rees as a young woman psychologically scarred from childhood by the knowledge that her father is none other than London's most notorious murderer, Jack the Ripper. As an adult, she becomes the prime suspect in a new series of brutal murders after a séance apparently unleashes the Ripper's demonic spirit to possess his daughter.

Synapse is presenting a fully-restored print of Ripper, uncut and in high definition. The Blu-ray/DVD combo pack includes the following special features:

The Devil’s Bloody Plaything: Possessed by Hands of the Ripper Featurette
Slaughter of Innocence: The Evolution of Hammer Gore Motion Still Gallery
U.S. Television Introduction
Original Theatrical Trailer and TV Spots
Hands of the Ripper Motion Still Gallery
Isolated Music & Effects Audio Track

The disc is slated for release on July 9th, with a price tag of $29.95.

In the quest to save souls, the Spanish Inquisition will stop at nothing and knows no boundaries for its evil. Under the direction of Torquemada (LANCE HENRIKSEN - “Alien,” “Pumpkinhead,” “Millennium”) the Grand Inquisitor of Spain, a young baker’s wife, Maria (RONA DE RICCI) is falsely accused of witchcraft and dragged before the inquisition and the Cardinal (OLIVER REED – “Gladiator,” “Three Musketeers”). Torquemada is enchanted by Maria’s beauty and subjects her and her husband Antonio (JONATHAN FULLER – “Castle Freak”) to heinous tortures hoping to prove that his own desires for her are a result of her magic, and that she has “bewitched him.” With the help of Esmerelda, Maria’s cellmate and confessed witch, Maria must find the power to save her husband Antonio from Torquemada’s ultimate machine of torture: the inevitable, razor sharp PENDULUM poised over the inescapable PIT of hell.

Founded 17 years ago by Sage Stallone and Bob Murawski, Grindhouse Releasing is a beloved institution among horror and exploitation film fans, thanks to their lovingly restored releases of cult classics like Cannibal Holocaust, The Beyond, I Drink Your Blood, Pieces and many more. Grindhouse went on hiatus for a while, partially due to Stallone's death last year and Murawski's commitment to editing Oz the Great and Powerful for Sam Raimi. But the studio has finally resurfaced to announce a massive new slate of movie titles.



"After two years in the yellow brick prison of Oz, I am back full-time at Grindhouse Releasing, proudly continuing the important work that Sage and I began back in 1996," Murawski said in the announcement, in which he revealed a list of titles awaiting DVD, Blu-ray and theatrical releases – beginning with the psychedelic obscurity An American Hippie in Israel, which has gained Rocky Horror-like status in Tel Aviv and will see a new theatrical run in the US. Also, the twisted 1968 UK thriller Corruption, starring horror icon Peter Cushing, will premiere on DVD and Blu-ray September 10th (Cushing's 100th birthday), with theatrical screenings lined up in advance of that release as well. Here's the groovy trailer for that one:



To follow, Grindhouse also plans to release the following: Sergio Sollima's The Big Gundown; The Swimmer starring Burt Lancaster; Duke Mitchell's Gone with the Pope (a big hit at theatrical screenings in 2010) and S.F. Brownrigg's Scum of the Earth (a.k.a. Poor White Trash 2). Murawski also revealed that the entire catalog of Grindhouse titles will get the Blu-ray treatment over the next year.

(Thanks JamesG!)

Will definitely be picking up Scum Of The Earth, I'd like to see all of Brownrigg's films get better releases.

Four decades after it first scandalized audiences, the infamous horror/exploitation item SNUFF is returning in a big way to Blu-ray. Read on for the info and an exclusive look at one of the covers.

Blue Underground issues SNUFF on hi-def disc later this year (date to be announced), starting out in a limited-edition “blood-red” case available only with the first pressing. It will sport a reversible sleeve with two different covers (pictured below). Originally filmed in Argentina as SLAUGHTER by Michael and Roberta Findlay, the movie found its notoriety (including many protests—some of them staged) when distributor Allan Shackleton added footage of one of the actresses allegedly being dismembered for real at the end of the shoot, and released it in 1976 under the new title. As opposed to Blue Underground’s previous SNUFF DVD, issued without extras in a “brown paper bag” case, this version will be fully loaded with special features, which will be revealed soon. Stay tuned for further details!

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director John Carpenter’s 1995 In the Mouth of Madness, which stars Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jurgen Prochnow, David Warner, John Glover, Bernie Casey, Charlton Heston, Frances Bay and a young Hayden Christensen.

The Lovecraftian cult classic arrives on Blu-ray in time for Halloween, on October 15th.

Easily one of my all-time favorite horror movies, “Best-selling author and Stephen King contemporary Sutter Cane’s newest novel is literally driving his readers insane. When the author inexplicably vanishes, an insurance investigator named John Trent (Sam Neill) is hired by Arcane Publishing director Jackson Harglow (Charlton Heston) to track the author down. But Trent, along with Cane’s editor Linda Styles (Julie Carmen), soon finds himself crossing the barrier between fact and fiction, and entering a terrifying world of evil and madness from which there is no escape.”

It’s been in HD on cable for over a year now, but it’ll be nice to finally own a physical copy.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin’s The Exorcist with a new Blu-ray release featuring the Extended Director’s Cut and Theatrical Version with new special features and premiums. Look for it October 8th. Head inside for a breakdown of bonus content.

In August, Friedkin will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 70th Venice International Film Festival, where he will present the restored version of Warner Bros.’ Sorcerer. And Friedkin and author Blatty will attend a special 40th Anniversary screening of their film at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. on October 30th. The film will also have an exclusive theatrical engagement October 31 through November 7th at the AMC Georgetown.

Special Features:

Beyond Comprehension: William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist (NEW) 40 years after his novel was published, The Exorcist author, screenwriter and producer returns to where it all began. First stop is a cabin/guest house in the hills of Encino, California, where Blatty wrote the novel. The author visits the place for the first time in 40 years and shares not only memories of writing the book, but also discusses how it inspired him. We then meet Blatty in two key and iconic locations; Georgetown University where the film was shot, and at the now-famous Exorcist steps. Throughout, Blatty reads from his novel, including an excerpt from a chilling newly published passage.
Talk of the Devil (NEW) – While at Georgetown University, William Peter Blatty heard about a true case of possession from Father Eugene Gallagher. At the time the film came out, the priest talked at length about exorcism, the true story and about Blatty; this footage is now available for the first time in many years. It is as revealing as it is shocking.·

Panic Productions and Hutson Ranch Media have launched pre-orders for Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th on its official website.

The documentary, inspired by Peter M. Bracke’s bestselling book of the same name, promises to be the definitive retrospective on the long-running Friday the 13th franchise.The three-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack showcases the extensive feature, which runs approximately 420 minutes.

When purchased through the website, buyers will also receive a bonus DVD with nearly 4 hours of extended interview material.

The film will be officially released on August 27, 2013 via 1428 Films with a list price of $29.95.Corey Feldman (star of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) narrates Crystal Lake Memories, which features interviews with approximately 150 cast and crew members from all twelve Friday the 13th films and the syndicated television series, many of whom have never before appeared in on-camera interviews. Interview subjects include Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, Tom Savini, Danielle Panabaker, Sean S. Cunningham, Derek Mears, Betsy Palmer, Wes Craven, Robert Shaye, Alice Cooper and many more. A full list of the cast can be found here.

Crystal Lake Memories is written and directed by Daniel Farrands and produced by Thommy Hutson, who previously teamed up for the award-winning Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

"As lifelong fans, we couldn't let 2013 pass us by without giving Jason his due," explains Farrands. "I hope that Crystal Lake Memories will serve as a befitting tribute to one of this generation's most iconic bogeymen."

"We're thrilled that we are able to bring all the incredible stories from the cast and crew to life, showcasing why the Friday the 13th franchise is still going strong decades later," adds Hutson. "It's a testament to the blood, sweat and tears that went into making summer camp, and eventually a hockey mask, both terrifying and fun."

In the 33 years since the original Friday the 13th premiered in May of 1980, the slasher franchise has grown to include twelve feature films, a television series, novels, comic books, merchandise and memorabilia. In addition to staggering box office success, the films turned Jason Voorhees and his signature hockey mask into a pop culture icon. Now fans can get an in-depth look that spans the entire history from those involved.

While the Friday the 13th Memories set looks cool, I am not interested although I did pre-order Friday the 13th boxset for my birthday and I pre-ordered Child's Play boxset :D

To celebrate Peter Cushing’s 100th birthday this year, Grindhouse Releasing is bringing his little-seen 1968 shocker CORRUPTION to disc, and we’ve got the exclusive first peek at the two versions of the cover art (one rather risque).

Grindhouse issues CORRUPTION as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack October 8, with specs and special features to be announced. Directed by Robert Hartford-Davis, the film (a.k.a. CARNAGE) is a variation on the EYES WITHOUT A FACE theme in which Cushing takes an atypical villainous role as Sir John Rowan, a surgeon whose model fiancée (Sue Lloyd) gets into a horrible accident that disfigures her. Desperate to restore her looks, Rowan murders a series of young women to claim their pituitary fluid. Grindhouse will give CORRUPTION a series of theatrical screenings as well, and is doing the same for AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISRAEL, GONE WITH THE POPE and others. See more info at Grindhouse’s official website and Facebook page.

I wonder how many times it's going to be necessary to double dip on the original Halloween.

I currently have the original Anchor Bay DVD from 1997, the 1999 remastered and the 25th Anniversary DVD from 2003.

I was debating getting the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray box set, but that was too expensive.

I may get this new 35th Anniversary so I can own Halloween on Blu-ray.

It's like the Evil Dead franchise, it seems like they release a new edition every 3 years. I bought the supposed Limited Edition of Army Of Darkness on DVD, then a few years later they re release another DVD that has all the same stuff. Ugh.

Or the Friday The 13ths...

I'll probably get this version of Halloween too.

Not so long ago it was announced that the folks over at Scorpion Releasing were gearing up to release The Monster Club onto Blu-ray. Unfortunately at that time details were slim, but thankfully that all changes today as we have scored the release date and special features included on the disc.

The Monster Club is set to hit Blu-ray in the U.S. this September 24th. Unfortunately this one has been region locked due to the licensing agreement.

Horror anthology loosely based on the works of horror novelist R. Chetwynd-Hayes. A horror author is invited by a suave vampire (Vincent Price) to accompany him to the title establishment, where he observes the secret social customs of various species of monsters — which apparently include drinking, dancing, and watching undead strippers remove more than just their clothing. He is also made privy to the mating patterns of these creatures, and three bizarre tales are told over the evening. Also starring Donald Pleasence, Richard Johnson, Simon Ward, Britt Ekland, John Carradine, Anthony Steel and Stuart Whitman. This will be available both BD and SD.

Special Features:

Brand New 16×9 (1.78) anamorphic mastered in HD
62-minute interview of Vincent Price conducted in 1987 by film historian David Del Valle
40-minute audio interview between Del Valle and Price
On camera interview with David Del Valle

20th Century Fox Studio Classics has revealed the 1958 Vincent Price starring The Fly for release on Blu-ray September 10.

“When a scientist (David Hedison) attempts to transfer matter through space, things go horrifically wrong and two grotesque man-fly hybrids are created. Now, with the head of a fly and a wing in place of one of his arms, the scientist desperately hopes that he, his wife (Patricia Owens) and his brother (Vincent Price) can capture the other mutant and reverse the experiment.”

Special Features include:
Commentary with Actor David Hedison and Film Historian David Del Valle
Biography: Vincent Price

Anchor Bay Films is proud to announce the home entertainment debut of the erotic horror film, Embrace of the Vampire, starring Sharon Hinnendael (Rites of Passage, “Look”), Tiio Horn (Defiance, Hemlock Grove), C.C. Sheffield (“True Blood”), Chelsey Marie Reist (12 Rounds: Reloaded) and Victor Webster (Continuum) available on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and DVD October 15th. We also have the first ever stills from the film, which can be viewed below.

The film is a reimagining of the 1995 cult classic version starring Alyssa Milano, which will also be made available on Blu-ray for the very first time on the same day!

“Embrace of the Vampire stars Sharon Hinnendael as Charlotte, a timid and sheltered teen who has just left an all-girls Catholic school for a new life at a co-ed university. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh…and a thirst for blood. It’s a battle for her soul… and one she’s losing. But Charlotte is a fighter. The chaos and torment threatens to unleash her own inner beast, and anyone even close to her may find themselves embracing their own horrific fate.“

Also separately available on Blu-ray for the first time and DVD on the Anchor Bay Entertainment label is the ground-breaking 1995 infamous erotic version starring former “Who’s The Boss?” child star and “Charmed” vixen Alyssa Milano. Milano stars as Charlotte, a shy, sexually inexperienced college freshman stalked by a handsome British vampire (Martin Kemp of The Krays) who believes her to be the reincarnation of his long-dead lover. But with only three days to seduce the teen virgin, he’ll tempt Charlotte with forbidden passions that include sensual dreams, a beautiful lesbian (Charlotte Lewis of The Golden Child), torrid threesomes, scorching orgies and beyond. Jordan Ladd (Club Dread), Rachel True (The Craft) and Jennifer Tilly (Bound) co-star in the sizzling supernatural classic Mr. Skin calls “the sexiest horror movie of all time!”

The 80′s video boom has become a time of sweet nostalgia for movie fans of a certain age but in the UK it was also a time of moral panic perpetuated by ill-informed politicians and a sensationalist media. ‘The Video Nasties’ witchhunts which led to Britain becoming the most highly censored nation in the western world targeted distributors, store owners and a list of horror movies which were prosecuted as obscene and subsequently banned.

Ban the Sadist Videos, David Gregory’s (Plague Town, Theatre Bizarre) two-part documentary from 2006, tells the full shocking story. It will receive its first official US release as a Limited Edition Bonus DVD in the first 3,000 units of Severin Films’ upcoming release of House on Straw Hill. House on Straw Hill, known in the UK as Expose, was one of the final 39 condemned Video Nasties and remains banned in its uncut form in the UK to this day.

Severin Films partners Gregory and Carl Daft developed their passion for exploitation cinema while growing up in the ‘Nasty’ era in Britain. “There are a couple of really good VHS era documentaries doing the rounds in the US right now but growing up in England we had a very different experience of serious censorial oppression. We thought it might be time to bring out our doc on the period in the US,” says Gregory.

House on Straw Hill, starring Udo Kier (Suspiria, Andy Warhol’s Dracula) and Linda Hayden (Blood on Satan’s Claw), has the honor of being the only British film that made the infamous ‘Video Nasties’ list and the Severin Blu/DVD combo will mark its first official fully uncut release on disc.

“Straw Hill has proved one of the most difficult discs we’ve ever produced due to severely damaged film elements. The master is still not perfect but it’s the only way to see the film uncut in its original aspect ratio. We wanted to give Severin fans something extra to compensate for the imperfect presentation of the feature and the fact that it’s taken so long to get the disc to market. By including what we consider one of our best documentaries to date, which until now has only been released in the UK, seemed like the way to go. We had considered canceling the title on many occasions because it was such a dire situation but we just couldn’t give up on it and we have it to where it’s now acceptable to us, and hopefully to our customers. We also have another very exciting nasties release on the horizon so we want to raise some awareness in the US of that grim time for horror fans in the UK.”

Other extras in the package include “AN ANGEL FOR SATAN – AN INTERVIEW WITH LINDA HAYDEN” and an audio commentary with Director James Kenelm Clarke and Producer Brian Smedley-Aston. And as yet one more additional bonus, those who buy the disc directly from the Severin store will get a strictly limited edition (250) VHS replica of the UK Video Nasty release as Expose!

Maniac Cop 3: “The Wrong Arm Of The Law Is Back!

When Officer Kate Sullivan storms a hostage situation, the whole incident is captured on tape by an unscrupulous media crew who edit the footage to show Kate killing a helpless victim. Now in a coma, Kate’s only hope is Detective Sean McKinney, who desperately tries to clear her name. But unbeknownst to him, ‘Maniac Cop’ Matt Cordell takes it upon himself to exact revenge upon those responsible for smearing her name.“

While Brick enlists the help of an impoverished girl and her son, the bad guys enlist the help of a local gang. When word leaks out as to his location, all hell breaks loose.

To Alex West (Bud Cort), Norman Bates was the father he never had. So after spending 27 years together in the state sanitarium, Alex is finally released, having inherited the Bates estate upon Norman’s passing. Aided by a wisecracking young drifter (Lori Petty), Alex reopens the infamous motel, their guests including a suicidal divorcée, a ’50s gang of eerie teens and the late Mrs. Bates herself.”

Maniac, the remake starring Elijah Wood and directed by Franck Khalfoun, is getting a collectible VHS on October 22nd through Mondo Video.

A total of 500 copies of this limited edition will be available in a clamshell case with a randomly inserted purple cassette.

In this 21st century Jack the Ripper story set in present-day Los Angeles, Frank leads a deceptively peaceful life. To the outside world, he's a withdrawn and somewhat eccentric owner of a mannequin store. But his quiet façade masks an inner rage that forces him to brutally kill and scalp the women who get too close to him. When a young artist named Anna (Nora Arnezeder, Safe House) appears one day at Frank's shop and asks for his help with her new exhibition, Frank develops an obsession with her that threatens to completely destroy his already fragile psyche. Soon the streets become unsafe for any woman after dark as this newly awakened maniac begins to stalk and kill.

I might pick up the Maniac VHS. I thought it was an excellent remake.

It would have been weird if the original "Bates Motel" series had happened w/ it not relating to the '80s sequels.

Kino Classics is proud to announce that it will release F.W. Murnau's silent horror classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror in a 2-disc remastered edition on Blu-ray and DVD, newly mastered in HD from the archival 35mm restoration by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung.

Synapse Films has acquired the North American home-video rights to Dario Argento's 1977 classic horror film Suspiria, with an original soundtrack by European prog-rockers Goblin.

“I’ve been involved in the restoration and release of many films in my career, but SUSPIRIA has always eluded me, until now,” says Donald May, Jr., President of Synapse Films. “It’s one of my favorite horror films and I’m ecstatic that my business partner, Jerry Chandler, was able to negotiate with the rights holders to release this film. This is going to be an amazing projectfor us.”

Synapse Films will work closely with Technicolor Rome and Technicolor Los Angeles to create an all-new high-definition 2K scan from the original negative for a possible 2014-15 video release.

“It’s important to spend as much time as possible to create the definitive high-definition home video version for the fans,” May explains. “We’re going to take our time with this one.”

Synapse Films, Inc. is currently planning the extensive work on Suspiria in conjunction with Technicolor, utilizing both their Rome and Hollywood facilities.

Extras will be announced at a later date.

This year saw Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man arrive in a remastered "final cut" and arriving on Blu-ray from Lionsgate Home Entertainment January 7, 2014.

The Wicker Man will also be available on Digital HD, Video on Demand and Pay-Per-View.

While the townsfolk tempt and threaten him with bizarre rituals and wanton lust, Howie must race to discover the truth behind the girl's disappearance before his clash with Lord Summerisle builds to a terrifying conclusion – one that has cemented this cult shocker as a modern horror masterpiece.

Demonic Toys is coming to Blu-ray for the first time and has been remastered with AMAZING Widescreen color correction, 5.1 surround sound, and an incredible amount of extras:

* Original Demonic Toys VideoZone
* Rare Full Moon Trailers

5.1 surround sound
16:9 widescreen
Region A
Original release 1992
Remastered release 2014

They're cute and cuddly by day, lethal demons by night. Ruthless killing machines come alive for just one purpose...death. And for five adults in an abandoned warehouse, every child's worst nightmare has become a deadly reality...
While on a stakeout, Judith Gray (Tracy Scoggins), a beautiful, tough cop, is trapped inside a warehouse full of toys. But these are no ordinary playthings – they have been awakened to murderous life by a strange child of darkness, "The Kid" (Daniel Cerny).
Each toy feeds on blood: Jack Attack heads straight for the throat, Grizzly Teddy is not afraid to show its claws, and Baby Oopsie Daisy is truly to die for. Now it's up to Gray and a passing delivery boy, Mark Wayne (Bentley Mitchum), to stop the deadly, DEMONIC TOYS!

1991's Popcorn was one of those films with a killer ad campaign. The whole "Buy a Bag, Go Home in a Box!" tagline really spoke to the young version of me and made me say, "Hell yes, I need to see this." The film itself? It's good. Not great. But still entertaining enough to look back on with a smile. And I'm actually pretty excited to hear that Synapse Films is bringing the film to a special edition Blu-ray.

According to the company's Facebook page:

This release will give fans a brand-new 2K restoration of the film, taken directly from original vault materials. Supplementary materials from Michael Felsher’s Red Shirt Pictures will round out the exciting package. While the line-up of bonus materials has not yet been finalized, it will feature a retrospective documentary on the making of and legacy of Popcorn along with more extra features currently in the planning stages.

A Halloween 2014 release date is expected.

Written by Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Thing's Alan Ormsby, the film stars Jill Schoelen and concerns a group of film students who encounter a deranged, gruesome killer during a horror film festival.

When complete details come our way about this Blu-ray, we'll let you know, of course!

Patrick, Dead Kids and Thirst – all considered "Ozploitation" horror films – are getting a Blu-ray release from Severin Films on March 11th. We'll let Severin do the talking here:

PATRICK: Just as Mark (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD) Hartley’s highly anticipated remake hits US theaters, Richard (PSYCHO 2) Franklin’s original Ozploitation classic is back… now in stunning HD: A comatose killer is seemingly unresponsive in a small private hospital. But when a hot new nurse begins to question his condition, Patrick will unleash a waking nightmare of psychokinetic carnage. Loaded with Extras including a recently discovered vintage interview with Franklin & the never before available in America Italian track with soundtrack by Goblin (SUSPIRIA, DAWN OF THE DEAD).

DEAD KIDS: Fangoria called it “One of the best horror movies you’ve never seen”: Michael Murphy (MANHATTAN), Dan Shor (WISE BLOOD) and Academy Award® winner Louise Fletcher (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST) star in this grisly saga of bizarre experiments, butchered teens, New Zealand doubling for suburban Illinois, and a killer in a Tor Johnson mask. This cult favorite – released in America as STRANGE BEHAVIOR – features a hypnotic score by Tangerine Dream, co-written by the Oscar®-winning director of CHICAGO, directed by the producer of TWO LANE BLACKTOP, now loaded with Extras and transferred in HD from the original negative for the first time ever.

THIRST: One of the most unique vampire movies of our time – is back like you’ve never seen it before: David Hemmings (BLOW-UP, DEEP RED) and Henry Silva (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE) star as executives of an international blood-drinking cartel known as ‘The Brotherhood’. But when they abduct a descendant of Elizabeth Bathory to reboot her depraved legacy, she must escape before the corporation can expand their human ‘blood cow’ dairies and create a vampire master race. Now transferred in HD from the original negative for the first time ever anywhere!

And then look for…

Ozploitation Trailer Explosion: This is the ultimate collection of ‘Ozploitation’ trailers, packed with 65 ockers, knockers, pubes, tubes, comatose killers, outback chillers, high-octane disasters and kung fu masters, featuring such classics as: ALVIN PURPLE, WAKE IN FRIGHT, MAD DOG MORGAN, BARRY McKENZIE HOLDS HIS OWN, STUNT ROCK, STONE, FANTASM, ROAD GAMES, FELICITY , TURKEY SHOOT, BMX BANDITS, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG, DEAD END DRIVE-IN…and many more!

Prepare to be corrupted and depraved once more with this definitive guide to the Video Nasties phenomenon – one of the most extraordinary and scandalous eras in the history of British film.

For the first time ever on DVD, courtesy of Severin, trailers to all 72 films that fell foul of the Director of Public Prosecutions are featured with specially filmed intros for each title in a lavish three-disc collector's edition box-set, alongside a brand new documentary – Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship and Videotape.

Disc One

The era-defining and critically acclaimed documentary VIDEO NASTIES: MORAL PANIC, CENSORSHIP AND VIDEOTAPE directed by Jake (Doghouse) West and produced by Marc Morris features interviews with filmmakers Neil Marshall (The Descent, Doomsday), Christopher Smith (Severance, Black Death) and MP Graham Bright as well as rare archive footage featuring James Ferman (director of the BBFC 1975-1999) & Mary Whitehouse. Taking in the explosion of home video, the erosion of civil liberties, the introduction of draconian censorship measures, hysterical press campaigns and the birth of many careers born in blood and videotape, West's documentary also reflects on the influence this peculiar era still exerts on us today.

Disc Two presents the 39 titles that were successfully prosecuted in UK courts and deemed liable to deprave and corrupt. These included: Absurd, Cannibal Holocaust, The Driller Killer, I Spit on Your Grave, Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Snuff, and Zombie Flesh-Eaters.

Disc Three presents the 33 titles that were initially banned, but then subsequently acquitted and removed from the DPP's list. These included: Death Trap, Deep River Savages, The Evil Dead, Human Experiments, The Toolbox Murders and Zombie Creeping Flesh. Discs 2 and 3 can be viewed either as a non-stop trailer show, or with newly-filmed introductions from a wide range of acclaimed media academics and notable genre journalists.

Each disc is preceded by a brief introduction by cult horror presenter Emily Booth.

I went to the Chiller horror convention in NJ today, but I missed out on meeting Charles Band (I did meet Charlie Spradling) because he stepped out to prepare for his roadshow.

I talked to his employees who were working at his booth and asked about what's coming up at Full Moon. They told me that Band is planning on ditching physical media (DVDs, Blu-rays) for his newer material and that only "the classics" will get format releases. Everything new will be released exclusively on their Streaming website.



I asked what was going on w/ more HD re-masterings of their films and I was told that Band "is working on some" at the moment and that we should expect to see a complete collection of the Puppet Master films (1-10) on Blu-ray by the end of the year.

I also asked about future sequels to his works and they said that Band is working on a fifth Subspecies to be released on the streaming site.

Eventually everything will be streaming/download. Won't be as fun showing off your collection when it's all just files.

Synapse Films is bringing the 1983 slasher film Curtains to DVD and Blu-ray July 8th!

"A group of women gather for a weekend casting call at the secluded mansion of director Jonathan Stryker (John Vernon). He’s searching for the perfect woman to play the role of the crazed character “Audra”, and these women are just dying for the chance to play her! Stryker’s last star, Samantha Sherwood (Eggar), is so determined to get the part, she committed herself to an asylum to prepare for the role. Unfortunately for all, a crazed killer in a disgusting “hag” mask is viciously murdering everyone one by one. Who will survive the final curtain call?"

Richard Ciupka directs under the moniker Jonathan Stryker (go figure). The film is getting a new 2K High-Definition transfer with a 5.1 surround mix.

Specifically Created for This Release…

THE ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE: THE MAKING OF “CURTAINS” – An All-New retrospective featuring interviews with Director Richard Ciupka, Stars Lesleh Donaldson & Lynne Griffin, Editor Michael MacLaverty, Special Make-Up Effects Creator Greg Cannom, and Composer Paul Zaza

I don't think it will totally be gone, but it will probably be like the record stores that are around today. They will cater to a specific crowd of people and won't be mainstream.

Regarding Full Moon, I don't know why Band plans on making Subspecies 5 digital-only (if it ever happens). It will probably sell well on Blu-ray/DVD since a lot of hardcore fans have been waiting for a sequel for years.

Part of me doesn't want it to happen after Band destroyed the Puppet Master films w/ that last entry. These new Full Moon movies don't have the same charm and magic that their earlier entries had.

Full Moon hasn't been the same since the 90's. Even their last sequel in the Trancers series was a letdown.

MPI is bringing Dan Curtis' 1974 take on Dracula is making its Blu-ray debut on May 27th. Jack Palance stars in this adaptation written for the screen by sci-fi/horror master Richard Matheson and produced by the legendary (Dark Shadows, Trilogy of Terror).

Palance is Count Dracula, whose centuries-old existence is threatened after he attacks the lovely Lucy Westenra (Fiona Lewis, Dr. Phibes Rises Again), and her fiance (Simon Ward, The Tudors) calls in famed vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Nigel Davenport, A Man for All Seasons) to investigate.

Originally shown on CBS-TV, Dan Curtis' Dracula was filmed on location in England and Yugoslavia.

Dan Curtis' Dracula has been transferred and restored in 2K High Definition from the original 35mm camera negative.

Cult Epics is bringing George Barry's incredibly weird, very '70s horror film Death Bed to Blu-ray on June 3rd.

At the edge of a grand estate, near a crumbling old mansion lies a strange stone building with just a single room. In the room there lies a bed. Born of demonic power, the bed seeks the flesh, blood and life essence of unwary travellers… Three pretty girls on vacation, searching for a place to spend the night. Instead, they stumble into nightmares – and the cruel insatiable hunger of the Bed!

Bonus Features:

New HD Transfer
Introduction By Stephen Thrower
Introduction by George Barry

If you’re following us on Twitter, we’ve already told you that 2014 was going to be a big year for Halloween and we’re really excited to announce the OFFICIAL HALLOWEEN BOX SET which is ‘Coming Home’ September 23rd, 2014. And we’ll save you the suspense, YES the producer’s cut of Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers is included… as is so much more. Stay Tuned for more details which will be available soon and we’ll let you know the minute you can pre-order the set!!!

Here’s the Official release.

THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL…

ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT AND SCREAM FACTORY™, IN AN UNPRECEDENTED PARTNERSHIP, PROUDLY UNVEIL HALLOWEEN THE COMPLETE COLLECTION BLU-RAY™ BOX SETS

Limited Edition 15-Disc Deluxe and 10-Disc Edition Brings Together ALL The Halloween Feature Films In One Massive Set For the First Time EVER; All-New Bonus Features, Collectible Packaging, and 40-Page Book Make This THE Blu-ray™ Box Set Event of 2014!

Last year, the horror classic Halloween celebrated 35 years of terror for those willing to partake in its vision of unrelenting horror. But that was only the beginning of the celebration. What producers Moustapha Akkad, Debra Hill and Irwin Yablans, writer/director John Carpenter and stars Jamie Lee Curtis & Donald Pleasence started in 1978 has transformed into one of the most durable, iconic – and copiously studied — horror film franchises ever created. Before Jason, before Freddy, and before Jigsaw, there was…Michael. Over the years, audiences have lived and relived the terrors of Michael Myers through ten feature films, as well as various re-edits and alternate versions. Yet to date, the complete saga of Michael Myers could only be told in pieces, in individual DVD and Blu-ray™ releases, with the rights spread across multiple home entertainment studios.

Until now…

Through the unprecedented collaboration of rival home entertainment companies Anchor Bay Entertainment and Scream Factory – the leading purveyors in horror home entertainment –Halloween The Complete Collection Blu-ray™ box sets arrive September 23rd.

For the legions of Halloween fans, the Deluxe Edition boasts 15 discs and contains all the Halloween feature films – Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20, Halloween: Resurrection, Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II. The set includes the NEVER BEFORE RELEASED producers cut of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers as well as the ultra-rare network TV version of the original Halloween, the network TV version of Halloween II, plus the unrated versions of Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II.

It is packed with hours of BRAND NEW bonus features including new interviews with cast and crew from the entire franchise! In response to years of fan feedback, the first Halloween will now also include the original mono audio track and the set will include both versions of the original Halloween-the original Blu-ray™ release and the recently remastered 35th Anniversary version with the mono track added back in! It also comes with a limited edition 40-page book written by Michael Gingold of Fangoria Magazine. The collectible packaging will include a newly commissioned illustration on the outer case and each film will be in its own black Blu-ray™ case with the original theatrical one sheet as the key art. This deluxe set carries an SRP of $169.99.

“This compilation is the ultimate collector’s item for fans of the Halloween films and a testament to all the wonderful talent that have worked on them,” remarked Malek Akkad, President of Trancas International Films and son of series producer Moustapha Akkad. “The partnership between Anchor Bay Entertainment and Scream Factory to present fans for the first time with all the Halloween films in one definitive package is a tribute to everyone – including my father – who made these films the terrifying classics they are today.”

The 10-disc Edition includes the original theatrical versions of the Halloween films and will include select bonus features. SRP is $129.99.

Both sets pre-book August 27 and will be distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment with bonus features developed and created by Scream Factory and Anchor Bay.

Artwork and bonus features to be announced in the next couple of months.

^ The main draw for me would be the official release of H6: The Producer's Cut. I actually liked it more than the "real film".

I was hoping for it to get an official release and I am glad that it is finally happening.



I remember buying a bootleg VHS of it (which I still have) from one of the comic-cons in the early 2000s. All of my fellow Halloween friends wanted to see it. The bootleg copy was pretty crappy but that was the best that you could get at the time.

This was before the cons started to crackdown on the selling of bootlegged media.

^ The main draw for me would be the official release of H6: The Producer's Cut. I actually liked it more than the "real film".

I was hoping for it to get an official release and I am glad that it is finally happening.

Same here. I just don't know if I want to buy the whole set to get it.

I managed to dig out my bootleg VHS of H6: The Producer's Cut. I haven't watched it in years.

It may or may not be the original mono. It may actually be a re-mixdown of the 5.1.

When the 35th anniversary edition first came out on Blu-Ray, that was what the so-called "mono mix" turned out to be. Nothing more than a re-mixdown of the 5.1.

For films that were originally in mono, and presented on DVD and Blu-Ray with the option of a mono mix, always watch out, as some of them may be fake ones, and not true mono mixes.

W.G. MacMillan's 1986 film Cards of Death – a slasher title never released in the U.S., it should be noted – will be making its debut on June 24th on VHS. Yes, VHS.

It's the first film to see a release from the newly-launched Bleeding Skull Video, a company spearheaded by Joseph A. Ziemba and Zack Carlson (collaborators on the trash-horror film website, BleedingSkull.com) with the help of Mondo.

Bleeding Skull will specialize in ultra-obscure, no-budget horror and exploitation movies from the 1980s and early 1990s! It's described as a VHS and digital streaming label that is dedicated to sharing unreleased (or barely released) movies with the world.

Now, regarding Cards of Death, this American production was formerly released on VHS exclusively in Japan and then disappeared and is considered the "holy grail of slasher films."

The film appeared on my doorstep over the holiday break…chunky VHS packaging and all. Very eager to dive into this one.

Stay tuned for more release news from Bleeding Skull Video and look for Cards of Death on June 24th.

^Have to say I'm intrigued by this movie. It's not even listed on IMDB.

Now if someone could get a hold of a copy of the 1985 found footage zombie flick Dead End: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131260/combined

And confirm whether the lost 1984 slasher Pitchfork Massacre is real, or a retitling of another horror movie: http://retroslashers.net/lost-slashers-pitchfork-massacre-1984/

Earlier in this thread, it was mentioned that Cannibal Holocaust was getting an American Blu-Ray for the first time.

That reminds me: I just actually saw the film for the first time ever. I didn't hate it. I knew what I was getting myself into, when I saw the film. Yeah, it was over-the-top violent. Yeah, it had over-the-top disgusting moments. Yeah, I was aware that they actually killed some animals during the making of this film.

But I enjoyed it. I was actually more amused by the plot; the Robert Kerman character (Harold Monroe) was hoping to get the film on television in the whole world.

There's a version you can watch that has all the animal scenes cut out.

CH has become the most infamous of the Italian cannibal films, not just because of the animal scenes, since there were previous Italian cannibal and other genre films that featured such scenes, but also because of the realism and the way it was shot. That and the fact that Deodato supposedly was brought up on charges of murdering cast members and in court had to prove it was all fake added to the controversy.

Deodato considers CH to be the second film in his "Cannibal Trilogy", the first being Last Cannibal World (1977), and the third being Cut And Run (1985).
There was also a really bad unofficial sequel released in 1988 titled Cannibal Holocaust II.

Warner Bros. is getting in on the "collection craze" and intends to bring The Exorcist series to Blu-ray. This will include The Exorcist, The Exorcist: Director's Cut, Exorcist II: The Heretic, The Exorcist III, Exorcist IV: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. Special features haven't been revealed yet, however, we know it comes out on September 23rd. Below you'll find the official "sell" from WB.

This is a bit of a bummer because I was sort of holding on to hope that Scream Factory would somehow leverage the relationship it had made with Morgan Creek on the upcoming Nightbreed Blu-ray to work on bringing William Peter Blatty's cut of The Exorcist III to the public. I recall a time when I was reporting for another outlet – in my pre-Shock days – that Morgan Creek had a cut. It needed some love and clean-up, but something existed. Alas, WB seems to have sunk its claws deeper into the property.

Maybe there's a rights thing preventing something from happening? Maybe they just don't give a damn? I'm sure there's something political or legal behind it (there always is, isn't there?).

Here it is.The scream of the crop. The scariest and most fascinating collection of movies in modern horror. At the center of these ultimate clashes between darkness and light are intrepid souls who dare to look evil in the eye and unsheathe the weapons of faith. The struggle begins with the trend-setting The Exorcist (presented it its original theatrical version and extended director's cut). Exorcist II: The Heretic and The Exorcist III bring added perspectives, blood-curdling visuals and shocks to the harrowing tale. And the two prequel stories (by two different directors) of Dominion/The Beginning enrich the original by revealing the amazing genesis of the battle between Father Merrin and humanity’s most insidious foe.

Universal is exhuming its classic monster "legacy" collections. These collections – which culled all of the Dracula, Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Mummy and Wolf Man films - were once first made available on DVD many, many, many years ago and never re-released. You can find them online, but they fetch a high price.

On September 2nd, however, you'll be able to get them again…but still only on DVD, which is disappointing because I would love to own all of the "legacy" films on Blu-ray. Universal is issuing each legacy collection separately or in a giant 30-film box set ($139.99 on Amazon right now). Each collection will carry over the special features that came with the previous releases.

Also on September 2nd, you'll have a chance to buy the classic titles separately on Blu-ray and DVD.

Before A&E's Bates Motel – a contemporary take on the life of Norman Bates and his relationship with his mother, Norma – there was a made-for-television movie in 1987 called Bates Motel. Written and directed by Richard Rothstein and starred Bud Cort, Lori Petty, Moses Gunn, Gregg Henry and even Jason Bateman.

If you recall, this take didn't focus on Norman Bates so much as it introduced us to his roomie from the mental hospital! The '87 Bates Motel was meant to be a television pilot, but a series never quite took off.

We're now learning this version of Bates Motel is coming to DVD in a four-film presentation from Universal Home Entertainment. It will include Psycho II, Psycho III, Psycho IV: The Beginning and Bates Motel.

The street date is September 2nd.

Of course, you can also buy this title on its own on DVD under Universal's "vault series" banner.

Here's the synopsis of Bates Motel from Wikipedia:

Alex West (Bud Cort) roomed with and became close friends with Norman Bates at the state lunatic asylum for nearly 20 years. After Bates' death, Alex finds that he is named in Norman's will as the inheritor of the Bates Motel, which has been vacant since Norman's arrest. Alex travels to Bates' California hometown (which this film has renamed Fairville from the original film's Fairvale) and with a little help from teenage runaway Willie (Lori Petty) and local handyman Henry Watson (Moses Gunn), Alex struggles to re-open the motel for business, only to have strange things happen.

Deodato had a cameo in Hostel: Part II as a client into cannibalism.

It was a nice nod to his "cannibal films". :cool:

Deodato considers CH to be the second film in his "Cannibal Trilogy", the first being Last Cannibal World (1977), and the third being Cut And Run (1985).
There was also a really bad unofficial sequel released in 1988 titled Cannibal Holocaust II.

There were two versions of the film that I saw the other day. One was uncut, but was missing a few seconds of the "Last Road to Hell" sequence. The other was from UK Shameless Blu-Ray. That one had the full "Last Road to Hell" sequence, but also replaced the Muskrat scene with alternate footage (at the request of The British Board of Film Censors), and did a few other trims here and there.

The UK Shameless Blu-Ray also restores the original United Artists Europa logo (the Italian division of United Artists) that started the picture.
