When he was a young boy, Chris’s entire family was slaughtered during one of his father’s archaeology digs at a remote monastery, nestled deep in the mountains of Yugoslavia. His father’s assistant was arrested for the murders and consigned to a psychiatric hospital. Still plagued by nightmares about the incident as a man, Chris resolves to tackle his demons headfirst by returning to the monastery, where he hopes to complete his father’s quest of unearthing the tomb of Ilok – a torture-obsessed child prince who, legend has it, made a pact with an ancient Slavic demon for eternal life. But no sooner has the excavation gotten underway than Chris starts behaving erratically, becoming obsessed with locating the tomb and teetering ever closer to the brink of bloody madness…

From Smart Egg Pictures, one of the key financiers behind the original A Nightmare On Elm Street (not to mention the production company responsible for 1985’s hair metal horror Blood Tracks), 1989’s PLAYROOM – released in some territories as Schizo – marks the directorial debut of Manny Coto (Dr. Giggles). Featuring a gloriously demented lead performance from Christopher McDonald (The Black Room, Happy Gilmore), alongside noted character actor Vincent Schiavelli (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), and culminating in some unexpected and hugely entertaining creature effects, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to dust off PLAYROOM for its world disc debut, in a brand new 4K restoration from 35mm negative elements and accompanied by a host of newly-produced bonus features.

STARRING: Aron Eisenberg, Christopher McDonald, Lisa Aliff, Vincent Schiavelli

No Telling (4K Ultra HD Set) (1991) Available September 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #NoTelling – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Lillian and Geoffrey (stage actors Miriam Healy-Louie and Stephen Ramsey) are a seemingly happy couple who relocate to the country so that Geoffrey can focus better on his work, which Lillian knows little about. As she begins to investigate what Geoffrey spends his days doing in their shed, she discovers a trail of medical experiments that she can’t explain. Eventually, their relationship begins to unravel, with both parties consumed by madness.

Larry Fessenden’s first feature-length film to be shot on film, NO TELLING, reimagines Mary Shelley’s immortal Frankenstein tale as an upstate chamber drama that gives way to something much more sinister. A prescient parable about man’s relationship with nature and the darkness inherent in us all, making it a potent precursor for the films that would follow in Fessenden’s career. Shot on location in upstate New York, entirely on Super 16mm film, NO TELLING is an essential entry in the canon of American independent horror cinema of the 1990s, now lovingly restored in 4K by Vinegar Syndrome in a director-approved presentation from its uncut original film elements.

STARRING: David Van Tieghem, Miriam Healy-Louie, Richard Topol, Stephen Ramsey

My Crepitus I Never Left the White Room (2000) Available September 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #MyCrepitus – #SaturnsCore –

Travel through the depths of a deranged mind and experience first hand the violent hallucinations of an incarcerated psychiatric patient. Trapped within the confines of his white cell, Jeffrey Prior (Michael Todd Schneider) struggles with his deteriorating grasp on reality while his psychiatrist, Dr. Nathaniel Beck (Eric James), tries to unravel the secrets behind his daughter’s brutal rape and murder.

The SOV directorial debut from the notoriously transgressive, Pittsburgh based writer / director Michael Todd Schneider aka magGot (August Underground’s Mordum, The Profane Exhibit, …and Then I Helped), MY CREPITUS is a hypnotic and surreal, lo-fi analog fever dream that seemlessly collides at the intersection of extreme underground gore and experimental video art. Like a cursed transmission from an abhorrent alien universe, MY CREPITUS is a gore-drenched amalgamation of Inland Empire, Begotten, and Alien Beasts set to an abrasive and disorienting cacophony of sound which Rue Morgue magazine described as “akin to smashing your teeth into the coffee table for ninety minutes”. Saturn’s Core is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of magGot’s grimy and hallucinatory masterpiece with this ultimate, director supervised Blu-Ray set which presents MY CREPITUS in multiple cuts, it’s prequel short A Tribute to Sanity, and over 14 hours of special features (on 2 discs) including two feature length documentaries plus countless featurettes, commentaries, and short films which serve as a comprehensive chronicle of both the birth and consequent burgeoning of Schneider’s magGot Films imprint.

Habit (4K Ultra HD Set) (1995) Available September 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #Habit – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Recently single New Yorker Sam (Larry Fessenden) is mourning the loss of his father and navigating a lack of ambition while drowning his sorrows in alcohol. At a Halloween party, he meets Anna (Meredith Snaider), a beautiful and mysterious woman who, it turns out, is also a vampire. The two embark on a sexually fueled relationship that constantly feels on the precipice of boiling over into violence.

Written, directed, edited, and sound edited by Fessenden, who also took on the leading role, HABIT is a singular character study set in New York City in the mid-90s. Trading in canonical vampire lore while imbuing it with something much more frenetic and indicative of the film scene of New York in the 80s and 90s, Fessenden’s film is an exercise in style, shot entirely on 16mm by cinematographer Frankie DeMarco (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), who was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for his work on the film alongside Fessenden for Best Director. Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents Larry Fessenden’s brooding tale of urban dread, newly scanned and restored 4K from its 16mm original negatives in a director-approved presentation.

STARRING: Aaron Beall, Larry Fessenden, Meredith Snaider, Patricia Coleman

Castle of Evil (1966) Available September 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #CastleofEvil – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

On a secluded private island near Nassau in the Caribbean, a curious sextet of people has been ferried in to see off Carl Kovic, an electronics genius reportedly dying. Each of the six has ample reason to loathe Kovic, and yet each one stands to inherit at least $400,000—even more if fewer heirs remain. Forced to stay in his castle during a seemingly endless storm, and guided by a mysterious housekeeper, the group decides to figure out Kovic’s scheme after one of them is violently killed in his room. But is an indigenous island tribe using the supernatural against the group? Is Kovic himself alive or dead, and has he potentially invented something even more evil?

A delightful blend of Agatha Christie-style nailbiter, mad professor thrills, and plentiful other mid-1960s B-movie tropes, CASTLE OF EVIL is an entrancing early color instance of genre film. Directed by Francis D. Lyon (Cult of the Cobra, The Girl Who Knew Too Much), it features the prolific actor Scott Brady (Gremlins, Satan’s Sadists, and brother of actor Lawrence Tierney), a wonderfully sharp-tongued Virginia Mayo (White Heat, Evil Spirits) and Shelley Morrison (Devil Times Five, TV’s Will & Grace). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is charmed to bring back to life this eerie whodunit, which played extensively on regional US television, breathtakingly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative!

5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas (1966) Available September 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #5DeadontheCrimsonCanvas – #DegausserVideo – @DegausserVideo –

Richard Streeb is a brooding artist whose work dwells on grisly depictions of death and dismemberment. Shortly after the unveiling of his most recent exhibition, Streeb’s preoccupation with the macabre bleeds horrifyingly into real life when the artist is attacked in his own home by a black-clad, knife-wielding figure. After being stabbed multiple times before the eyes of his helpless wife, Streeb is dragged off into the night by his assailant. With the authorities proving ineffectual, and the mysterious killer striking again and again – targeting victims all tied to the artist – it falls to Streeb’s brother Bill to mount his own investigation in an attempt to unravel the meaning behind these slayings.

A loving homage to the films of Dario Argento and Mario Bava, director Joseph F. Parda’s micro-budget 5 DEAD ON THE CRIMSON CANVAS (1996) – produced by and starring B-movie stalwart Joe Zaso (Nikos the Impaler) – may well lay claim to being the only shot on Super-8 giallo to emerge from Long Island, NY. Featuring a black-gloved killer right out of the likes of Blood and Black Lace and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and offering up plentiful bare skin and grisly deaths – including gouged eyes and faces stripped bare by piranhas – Degausser Video is thrilled to unveil 5 DEAD ON THE CRIMSON CANVAS on Blu-ray, newly restored from the best existing tape master and loaded with a host of new and archival extras.

Beneath Modern London Lives a Tribe of Once Humans. Neither Men nor Women… They are the Raw Meat of the Human Race!

When a prominent politician and a beautiful young woman vanish inside a London subway station, Scotland Yard’s Inspector Calhoun (Donald Pleasence of HALLOWEEN) investigates and makes a horrifying discovery.

#horror – #horrormovies – #Creepshow2 – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

Titans of terror George A. Romero and Stephen King deliver yet another selection of blood-curdling tales in Creepshow 2, the follow-up to the 1982 horror classic.

In “Old Chief Wood’nhead”, a group of young hoodlums face retribution from an unlikely source after looting a local hardware store. Meanwhile, “The Raft” sees a group of horny teens wishing they’d read the warning signs first before taking a dip in a remote lake. Finally, an uptight businesswoman finds herself with some unwanted company following a hit-and-run incident in “The Hitch-hiker”.

Retaining the same EC Comics flavor that made the original such a hit, Creepshow 2 – this time directed by long-time Romero collaborator Michael Gornick – is a standout horror anthology from the minds of two of the genre’s master craftsmen.

Monster Among Us : Wolf in Disguise Available October 3

#horror – #horrorcomics – #MonsterAmongUs – #CarlosMadrigalFlores – #CarlosMadrigalFlores –

Innsmouth is full of rumors — and one of them is about to get teeth.

When a flock is found shredded and the sheriff calls it a wolf attack, whispers follow the kids at the institute. Ron, Nick and Abbey suspect something darker, but only Bunny knows the dark truth that monsters are very real and scary, because she is one and she is just beginning her hut. Fixated on Brat, the town bully who prides himself on being untouchable, Bunny follows him and shows him who is the real predator and who is the prey. What starts as a reckless confrontation erupts into a brutal, monstrous reckoning but everything has consequences and there might be witnesses whose curiosity proves fatal. Wolf in Disguise continues the horror and peels back the mask of small-town normalcy: a terrible predator from another world has been set loose, loyalties fray, and Bunny’s appetite makes secrets bleed. How long can a monster hide behind a shy smile before the whole town becomes the next course of a cold-blooded killer and beast from beyond the stars?
