Return Of The Birdcane
The official site for SORORITY ROW (2009) recently opened at the well-named thetapi-ordie.com – not much there right now but I did catch this clear look of the new birdcane! Although it isn’t as prominent weapon as in the original (who wants a straight repeat anyway, certainly not I), it fills me with warmth inside [...]
Sorority Row (2009) Theatrical Trailer
Took me a while to digest the trailer for SORORITY ROW (2009). While HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW (1983) is my favorite retro slasher, this redux is one of the increasing number of “requels” – remakes that feel more like sequels. At the very least I’ll be watching to play catch-out on a number of confirmed [...]
Fangoria Sez Slaughter High DVD Disappoints
I don’t know what the hell has happened to Fangoria.com lately but I do still trust the word of longtime scribe for the mag, Michael Gingold. Being a super-duper SLAUGHTER HIGH fan it was less his comments about the quality of the film that reached me, but those about the quality of the DVD.
Video transfer? [...]
Happy Birthday To Me In Glorious HD And Restored Soundtrack?
A rumor was posted on HorrorDVDs.com regarding the version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME is airing this month in the States on FearNet/Comcast in both standard-definition and HD.
The tantalizing tidbit however is that it contains the original, real soundtrack to the film instead of the alternative score pressed onto the Columbia DVDs. I haven’t been [...]
Amen! Night Of The Creeps Heading To DVD
“They got Alfalfa!” The good lads at Deadpit Radio dropped us a line to let us know while recording their April 3rd edition with DVD producing mogul Michael ‘Slipcase’ Felsher from Red Shirt Pictures. They learned that this Halloween is going to be creepier than ever with Fred Dekker’s Night of the Creeps at least [...]
DVD Announcement: The Last Horror Film
We here at Retro Slashers are big fans of ol’ pockmark-face Joe Spinell’s thematic acting follow-up to Bill Lustig’s MANIAC, and are excited about its forthcoming S.E. DVD release via the bastions of the bad, Troma Entertainment.
The uncut status and special features sound mouth watering – it even contains the “lost” remnants of the MANIAC [...]
It’s A Shock Festival In Your Living Room
Rue Morgue’s Best Fiction Book of 2008, SHOCK FESTIVAL, is getting a DVD adaptation (of sorts). Fangoria recently posted an insightful Interview With Author Stephen Romano which outlines plans for the disc.
Now Showing: The Last House On The Left (2009)
The second LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT movie (third, if you rightly count THE VIRGIN SPRING as the first) is now in theaters across the ol’ USA. Worldwide release dates vary (I sure won’t be getting here it down under in anytime soon).
Code Red’s Dribbler Gets Special Features
Last month you heard about Code Red DVD releasing a lost retro slasher so rare, it isn’t even on the IMDB under any title we know of – that would be NIGHT OF THE DRIBBLER. Now the company are back with a slam dunk of an update.
H2 Coming Along Nicely, Bloodily
You’ve got to hand it to Rob Zombie, you really do. Some of you may think dude don’t know how to make a horror movie, but he sure knows how to harness the infinite power of the internets. Whereas other major genre productions would make every effort to keep photos to themselves before dumping them [...]
