Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (4K Ultra HD Set) (1971) Available July 29

#horror – #horrormovies – #LetsScareJessicatoDeath – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Recently released from a mental institution, Jessica, along with her husband Duncan and friend Woody, have decided to move into an isolated farmhouse in search of a fresh start. When they arrive there, however, they discover a young woman squatting on the property. With the group deciding to let their unexpected guest, Emily, stay with them, Jessica soon discovers that their new companion bears a striking resemblance to a girl who drowned in the nearby lake many years ago and who, as local rumor has it, now haunts the area as a vampire. At the same time, Jessica begins to experience strange and frightening visions – is she once again losing her grip on reality, or is something even more strange and sinister afoot?

Heavily inspired by the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw and Robert Wise’s The Haunting (1963), John D. Hancock’s (Bang the Drum Slowly) LET’S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH is a somber, dreamlike, and, at times, utterly bone-chilling classic of early ’70s terror. One of the first horror movies to make extensive use of a synthesizer in its score, which greatly enhances the film’s numerous shock sequences, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to present LET’S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH newly-restored in 4K from its original camera negative, with approval from director Hancock, and loaded with a host of brand new and exclusive bonus features.

David “The Rock” Nelson Collection : Volume 2 Available July 29

#horror – #horrormovies – #DavidTheRockNelsonCollection – #SaturnsCore –

Dubbed “The Ed Wood of the 21st Century,” Des Plaines, Illinois-based former marine and Golden Gloves boxer turned gonzo filmmaker David “The Rock” Nelson has been churning out his bizarre and mesmerizing brand of backyard monster movies for over 30 years. Often playing multiple onscreen roles simultaneously while utilizing local friends, his parents, and his girlfriend Janet Okulanis as his co-stars, “The Rock” has amassed a robust SOV filmography and persevered undaunted in the face of nonexistent funds, unfavorable reviews, and outdated video equipment. Nelson’s work represents a singular viewing experience like no other, landing somewhere between the earnest monster romps of Paul Naschy and the eccentric video diaries of George Kuchar, where the filmmaker’s real-life day to day activities and interactions sometimes outweigh the forwarding of the narrative. Equipped with dime store rubber fright masks and his camcorder, David “The Rock” Nelson has unapologetically crafted a legacy that remains an inspirational testament to the spirit of fulfilling your cinematic dreams at any cost.

Over 4 1/2 years in the making and clocking in at a staggering 2 1/2 hour runtime, The Devil Ant from 1999 is considered by many to be Nelson’s magnum opus and mission statement. When the sardine gobbling mad doctor (Nelson) and his absent minded assistant (also Nelson) dump a pail of nuclear waste into the nearby water supply, an ordinary ant (Nelson’s infamous dime store rubber toy) is transformed into an unstoppable, marauding menace! With Detective Rock (Nelson again) not-so hot on the trail, the radioactive ant (as well as David’s probing camcorder) wreaks havoc on the streets, restaurants, and horror conventions of Illinois as Nelson brazenly flings his rubber ant at unsuspecting civilians, exasperated friends and family members, and confused convention attendees and celebrities. Featuring “appearances” by cult film luminaries including Forest J. Ackerman, Roger Corman, Fred Olen Ray, Bill Hinzman, Conrad Brooks, John Russo, Carl J. Sukenick, and even former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton! Saturn’s Core is proud to present Nelson’s stream of consciousness SOV epic The Devil Ant along with a host of brain-smashing shorts and madness hand picked by “The Rock,” plus the 2007 feature length documentary Can’t Stop the Rock, and nearly 4 stinkin’ hours of doughnut dunking special features.

STARRING: David “The Rock” Nelson, Janet Okulanis, Richard T. Crowe, Svengoolie

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheDarkHalf – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Thad Beaumont is tired of writing trashy pulp novels under the pseudonym “George Stark” in order to make a living. Yearning to focus solely on scribing the intellectually stimulating literature he enjoys, Thad decides to – literally – bury his alter ego in a figurative attempt to finally break free of lucrative lowbrow temptations. However, George isn’t prepared to be laid to rest and miraculously resurrects himself out of Thad’s subconscious, fully transforming into a flesh-and-blood double and going on a grisly murder spree straight out of one of his own novels. With the police convinced that Thad is behind the series of bizarre killings, he is forced to confront his inner demons and determine where the real Thad ends and the “real” George begins in an attempt to put an end to George Stark’s rampage.

Based on the thrilling novel by Stephen King (Carrie, The Shining) and directed by horror legend George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead), THE DARK HALF is a tense examination of the violent and destructive nature of the creative process. Starring Academy Award® winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People), Academy Award® nominee Amy Madigan (Twice in a Lifetime, Field of Dreams), and Academy Award© nominee Julie Harris (The Member of the Wedding, The Haunting), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring THE DARK HALF to 4K UHD, in a brand new cinematographer-approved restoration of its 35mm camera negative and featuring a comprehensive selection of new and archival extras, including never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.

Thirteen years after going on a bloody, food-related killing spree, gluttonous Ethel Janowsky is deemed fit to return to society and transferred to a halfway house presided over by the kindly old Hope Bartholomew. Settling in alongside the other oddball residents, it’s not long before Ethel’s homicidal rage is once again triggered when one of the staff taunts her with chocolate bars. After throttling the man to death with a hastily-improvised noose, Ethel sets about hacking and slashing her way through the remainder of the residents – and anyone else unfortunate enough to wander onto the property.

The notoriously bonkers follow-up to the 1975 proto-slasher classic Criminally Insane, CRIMINALLY INSANE 2 (aka Crazy Fat Ethel II) – once again directed by prolific exploitation merchant Nick Millard (Satan’s Black Wedding) – sees the inimitable Priscilla Alden reprising her role as the deliciously unhinged Ethel Janowsky in this delirious shoestring sequel sure to please fans of shot-on-video schlock. Now newly restored from the best surviving tape master, Degausser Video is delighted to serve up CRIMINALLY INSANE II for the first time on Blu-ray alongside a host of bonus features.
