Retro Slashers

Just a quick heads-up that I recently handed over the Retro Slashers MySpace to my good friend Christian Sellers of Gorezone Magazine. Just part of the whole scaling’ back of things I’ve earlier alluded to.

Coming from Lionsgate on the 14th of April, Slaughter High finally hits DVD. It will have a pop-up trivia track (could be fun!). No, it’s not widescreen nor the Unrated cut. An April foolish purchase then? Discuss.

Seems they were always going to integrate them into the film, so everyone got in an early huffy all for naught – sometimes we have to trust the companies. Here’s [...]

Coming off a superb (I’m told – too expensive for me right now) Special Edition of Pieces, Grindhouse Releasing are bringing Lucio Fulci’s self-reflective slasher Cat In The Brain to DVD on March 31, 2009. No word yet if that a representational enhanced cover above for the disc, nor extras.
