In this dark supernatural thriller, a detective races to solve a deadly mystery in the heart of Los Angeles before a horrific fate descends upon everyone it touches.

HARD BARGAIN, an original graphic novel from acclaimed Daredevil and Spartacus filmmaker Steven S. DeKnight with artist Leno Carvalho, colorist Bruno Hang, and letterer Troy Peteri.

This is a book crafted in the Humanoids tradition, created and written by a scribe at the top of his game, with art by an incredible artist with influences from both US comics and European bande dessinée.

1940. The city is named Los Angeles, but you’d be hard pressed to find any angels there. Demons, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen, and if you have the bad luck to get mixed up with one, there’s only one private detective to call: Frank Harding.

Demons, monsters, and various and sundry mystical ne’er-do-wells are Frank’s bread and butter. With the help of his gal Friday, Nahla, and his hookup to magical munitions, Rumi, there’s not much he can’t handle.

But “not much” ain’t “nothing.” A mysterious woman is using dark magics to push old friends of Frank’s to perform nightmarish self-mutilations, and all signs point to Frank being next.

With time running out, Frank follows every lead he has to keep one step ahead of annihilation, including his old arch-nemesis Doctor Wraith and even Death herself.

Frank’s investigation unearths tough truths, old sins, and new terrors that threaten everything he holds dear, and if he wants even the slightest chance to make it out alive he’s going to have to put everything on the table for one last HARD BARGAIN.

Curse of the Devil / Vampires Night Orgy / Demon Witch Child [Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Promo]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #CurseoftheDevil – #VampiresNightOrgy – #DemonWitchChild – @VinegarSyndrome –

From bloodier and sexier reimaginings of gothic tropes to shameless homespun ripoffs of international hits, 70s Spanish horror films offered wild and unforgettable delights for audiences domestically and abroad. Three key names working in the genre, Carlos Aured, León Klimovsky, and Amando de Ossorio, helped define and refine what genre films in Spain became most infamous for. Presented here is one key work by each auteur, all of which have been newly and exclusively restored by Vinegar Syndrome for this release.

In CURSE OF THE DEVIL (El Retorno de Walpurgis), director Carlos Aured’s (Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll) second collaboration with star Paul Naschy (Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror), lycanthrope Waldemar Daninsky is back; doomed to become a bloodthirsty werewolf as punishment for his family’s involvement in centuries-old witch trials. Co-written by Naschy and focusing on his familiar blend of carefully constructed characters juxtaposed with gruesome gore, CURSE OF THE DEVIL has been newly restored in 4K. It is presented in its uncensored original version, which features extended nudity and bloodier violence as compared to the more commonly seen international cut.

The Seventh Curse / Witch From Nepal (1986) [Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Promo Trailer]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #TheSeventhCurse – #WitchFromNepal – @VinegarSyndrome –

Golden Harvest was one of Hong Kong’s biggest and most prolific producers of big-budget genre films, with titles ranging from martial arts adventures to grisly horror and thrillers. Presented here are a set of genre-defying and genre-blending classics that skillfully intertwine horror, action, fantasy, and generally jaw-dropping weirdness.

Dr. Yuan is a world-famous adventurer whose exploits have found him playing everything from hostage negotiator to exploring the most offbeat corners of the globe. While in the jungles of Thailand, Dr. Yuan rescues a young woman from a bloodthirsty supernatural sect named the “Worm Tribe,” as they attempt to sacrifice her to their ancient evil deity. After a Worm Tribe elder forces the doctor to swallow a handful of bullets, Dr. Yuan becomes afflicted by the “seven blood curses,” which cause the bullets to burst from his body. Determined to find a cure before the seventh and final curse takes his life, Dr. Yuan returns to the jungle, where he must defeat the Worm Tribe and other unexpected supernatural obstacles.

Deranged (1974) [Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Promo Trailer]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #Deranged – @VinegarSyndrome –

Ezra Cobb leads a simple life on an isolated family farm with his overbearing, god-fearing mother, who spends her days ranting about the evils of women and the sins of the flesh. When Ma Cobb suddenly and violently expires, Ezra is plunged into a deep despair, and his already troubled mind crosses over into full-blown psychopathy. Wracked with loneliness, Ezra begins plundering the local graveyard to obtain companions to bring home with him, starting with his dear mother, whom he props up in her bed and holds conversations with. But soon, even this collection of cadavers isn’t company enough for old Ez’, and he decides to turn his attention to fresher subjects… 

Based on the real-life case of the “Plainfield Ghoul” Ed Gein – the infamous Wisconsin murderer and graverobber whose exploits similarly inspired the likes of Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs – 1974’s DERANGED offers up one of the most faithful cinematic retellings of this true-crime story, with Roberts Blossom (Home Alone) delivering a chilling and highly credible central performance as Ezra Cobb. Co-directed by Jeff Gillen and Alan Ormsby (who also penned Bob Clark’s Deathdream), and with early special effects work from a young Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead) – some of which proved so gruesomely effective that they had to be excised to secure the film a theatrical release – Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to disinter the fully unexpurgated version of DERANGED for its world UHD premiere, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with a ghoulish array of new and archival extras.
