Widely acclaimed for having modernized television horror in the 1960s and ’70s, producer Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker) also embraced more traditional approaches. This special edition presents Curtis’s made-for-TV versions of the three foundational monsters of filmdom. Adapted by Richard Matheson (Somewhere in Time) and starring Jack Palance (Shane), Dracula was filmed in Eastern Europe and was the first film to make a connection between Bram Stoker’s vampire and Vlad the Impaler. Bo Svenson (Part 2: Walking Tall) portrays the heartbreakingly childlike monster of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde features a ferocious performance by Palance as the scientist who unbridles the deepest, darkest urges of the human animal.

Bloody Creek (1993) Available October 28

#horror – #horrormovies – #BloodyCreek – #SaturnsCore –

Welcome to Bloody Creek State Park! Named so because the indigenous natives committed so many acts of human sacrifice that the water turned red with blood. Now, a machete wielding lunatic has been dismembering and mutilating nubile young campers inside the park. With the police force baffled, a local author decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate the murder of her daughter. Could the police have a deranged killer amongst their ranks? Or could it be Jane, the nature loving park ranger determined to preserve the purity of her beloved forest. Find out as carnage reigns amongst the cornfields in Bloody Creek!

Another mind-melting, backwoods SOV slasher opus courtesy of director Gary Whitson and his notorious New Jersey based “custom” movie studio W.A.V.E. Productions, 1993’s BLOODY CREEK is notable for starring the infamous mother / daughter scream queen duo of Terri Lewandowski and Christine Cavalier. Featuring additional performances by Dave Castiglione (Backwoods Marcy), Aven Warren (Dead North), and Cristie Clark (Vampire Brides), BLOODY CREEK is a viscous analog stew bubbling over with harrowing decapitations, goopy disembowelings, questionable ‘90s fashions, and perilous dingy creek tussling. Plus, BLOODY CREEK now comes paired with director Gary Whitson’s feature length, long gap sequel Return to Bloody Creek from 2022 starring W.A.V.E. legends Debbie D. and Laura Giglio!

Bloodstained Italy : Obscene Desire / The Bloodstained Lawn / Death Falls Lightly Set Available October 28

#horror – #horrormovies – #BloodstainedItaly – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Italian horror in the 1960s and 70s went through several popular tonal and thematic phases. From gothic thrillers in the early to mid-60s, psychedelia and monster mayhem in the late 60s and early 70s, and of course, all manner of gialli and other assorted murder thrillers. But what of those films that offer a form of narrative bait and switch, luring the viewer in with the pretense of one genre while slowly revealing themselves to be something else entirely? Presented here are a trio of 70s Italian horror features which play with, combine, subvert, and surprise with their genre leanings, all newly and exclusively restored from their 35mm original negatives and all presented on English-friendly home video for the very first time, from Vinegar Syndrome.

#horror – #horrormovies – #Rampage – #KLStudioClassics – @KLStudioClassic –

Charles Reece (Alex McArthur, Kiss the Girls) is the All-American boy. Handsome and well liked, he does charity work and dutifully cares for his mother. One day he buys a gun and goes on one of the most horrifying murder sprees ever recorded. Anthony Fraser (Michael Biehn, The Terminator, K2) is the liberal-minded district attorney assigned to prosecute Reece. Fraser’s objective: the death penalty, a punishment that goes against his personal beliefs. As Fraser plunges deeper and deeper into the case, he’s outraged by a system that would set a killer free by deeming him criminally insane. Ultimately, Fraser realizes he and the murderer share the same conviction: Sometimes a life must be taken. A hidden gem in the canon of William Friedkin (director of The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A., The Hunted and Bug), Rampage is a stark, unflinching thriller as controversial and thought-provoking as its subject. Featuring original music by Ennio Morricone (A Fistful of Dollars, The Thing). This Special Edition includes both the director’s and theatrical Cuts of the film. The director’s cut premiered in some festivals in 1987 and was shelved for five years. In 1992, Miramax acquired the film, edited the film by five minutes and gave the film its long overdue theatrical release.

Two and a half decades before “The Walking Dead” made zombies mainstream on cable television, 19-year-old writer/director J.R. Bookwalter (“Ozone,” “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven”) embarked on “The Dead Next Door,” an ambitious horror feature pitting an elite team of Zombie Squad soldiers against hoards of the undead and the secretive religious cult hell-bent on protecting them. The film would ultimately take four years to complete with the help of a now-famous Hollywood director and more than 1,500 Northeast Ohio residents, who portrayed the multitudes of bloodthirsty ghouls. Tempe Digital’s DVD MOD release features the 4:3 master painstakingly created in 2015 from a 2K restoration using the original Super-8mm film elements along with a selection of key behind-the-scenes bonus materials and audio commentaries from previous releases.

15 years ago an indie film company known for genre-bending, counterculture titles took a chance on a subgenre not yet created: Gay-themed horror. The result was “October Moon,” an instant success which led to an immediate and devout cult following, critical praise, coverage in U.S. and international magazines, theatrical screenings on college campuses, and worldwide release in multiple languages. Its importance on social culture was even theorized in the college academic journal “Queer Horror: Sexuality and Masculinity at the Margins” (I.B. Tauris, 2016). This tale of a deadly love triangle critics labeled “Gaytal Attraction” has spawned scores of imitators, annual Halloween viewing parties, and with its sequel “October Moon 2: November Son” it became the world’s first gay horror franchise. In this 15th Anniversary Edition double-feature set, “October Moon” follows an engaged straight man who becomes obsessed with his gay male boss. Confused and rejected by all those who discover his truth, his sanity unravels until he decides his boss will become his at any cost. “October Moon 2: November Son” picks up two years later as the survivors attempt to own their roles in the blood soaked results, unaware someone is out for revenge.

Director Jason Paul Collum (“Screaming in High Heels”) mixes in actual S.O.V. footage from his short movies from the era, and reunites his original cast including Mick Wynhoff (“America’s Deadliest Home Video”) and Darcey Vanderhoef (“October Moon”), while adding iconic scream queens Brinke Stevens (“The Slumber Party Massacre”) and Michelle Bauer (“Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers”) to the gory fun.

Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door”), including the ill-fated directorial debut “The Witching” in 1993.

So she tracked down Butch Harlow, one of the world’s most notorious serial killers, and blackmailed him into teaching her the fine art of murder.

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…

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.

#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.

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.
