Madhouse Coming To DVD
Featuring quite possibly the most annoying wisecracking slasher ever (pre-Freddy, too!), MPI bring Ovidio G. Assonitis’s Madhouse (1981) to DVD on November 25th.
Beautiful do-gooder Julia (Trish Everly) and her insane, hideously deformed twin sister Mary (Allison Biggers) have a hard time occupying the same room, let alone the same town, without Mary either brandishing a [...]
Code Red DVD Update-O-Rama
After a notable absence, the Code Red DVD Website is back online. I’m including an image of their upcoming release of Hot Moves because the artwork is sexier then Code Red’s company logo.
The final details on Sweet Sixteen Director’s Cut:
“On October 14th, Code Red, thru BCI, will release SWEET SIXTEEN on DVD. When Melissa Morgan [...]
Child’s Play Downloadable Audio Commentary
The recent big deal DVD re-release of Child’s Play eschewed director Tom Holland in favor of franchise writing/producing Team Mancini. So the boys at Icons Of Fright independently set up a recording of a Tom Holland track moderated by Tim Sullivan, and the result is a nifty free downloadable commentary mp3. I love when guys [...]
Beyond The Door O-Ring
It’s a good time to remind that Code Red’s DVD of Beyond The Door is out this week. Picked up a nice little tidbit on their Blog that further enhances the company’s reputation as a collector’s service:
“BEYOND THE DOOR streets on September 16th and we thought we’d let you know its first pressing, which is [...]
A Day At The Beach With Code Red
What’s this!? Code Red selling out the slasher crowd to go upscale art house!? No, it’s just another case of the company taking chances in ways other genre companies simply do not. No, it’s not a slasher and heck, it ain’t even a horror, but looking at the spine it’s part of the numbered Code [...]
Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker DVD Update
Here is an exclusive update on Code Red’s DVD of Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (1983). Alternatively titled Night Warning, William Asher’s thriller/semi-slasher tells the tender tale of a teenager and his incestuously-powered murderess Aunt (Susan Tyrell). The skinny:
“We delayed BUTCHER BAKER NIGHTMARE MAKER from our October schedule for a reason: we were finally able to [...]
The Mutilator DVD Takes A Fall Break
By sword, by pick, by axe, bye bye DVD anytime soon! Some news to report, Buddy Cooper’s beach-side slasher is currently up in the air as to the particulars of its distribution. That’s not to say the DVD won’t happen someday, it’s just not in the very near future.
Great Googily Moogily!
You know how when Halloween approaches you wring your hands in cool anticipation of all the great horror movies that will either be playing in theaters, on TV or will hopefully find a home on DVD? Well, this year you’ve really got something to wring your hands to the bone about! The folks at DVD [...]
Dark Night Of The Scarecrow Coming To DVD
I’m coming out of a sick spell, so expect all the yesterday’s news to be posted that I can muster! Numerous have reported, but it was Horror Yearbook that brought it to my attention: Dark Night Of The Scarecrow (1981) is headed for DVD. Long before Larry Drake heckled his way through unauthorized surgery on [...]
Beyond The Door From Code Red DVD
It’s not a slasher, but any retro horror release from Code Red is cause for celebration. Beyond The Door (1974) is commonly belittled as a Euro Exorcist clone. Is that a fair assessment? I’ll be grabbing the DVD to find out for myself. Might even watch it back-to-back with Exorcist 3: Cries And Shadows (mmhmm). [...]
