Cannibal! The Musical (1993) Available January 28

#horror – #horrormovies – #CannibalTheMusical – #DegausserVideo – @DegausserVideo –

Alferd Packer, awaiting his execution on the charge of cannibalism, recounts his harrowing story of survival in the snow-covered Colorado mountains while on an ill-fated quest for riches. After being convinced by a group of gold prospectors to join their expedition, Alferd loses his beloved horse, Liane, which unwittingly sets the men on an unplanned adventure, including encounters with a group of very unusual Indians, facing off with ultra-manly fur trappers, and, of course, fudge packing, all before becoming stranded in the freezing winter with no provisions. As tempers flare and stomachs growl, the posse is forced to make the only logical decision: eat each other!

From the deranged and brilliant minds behind the international TV sensation South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s legendary feature filmmaking debut CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL is the over-the-top, all-singing, and all-dancing story of real-life Colorado cannibal Alferd Packer! Starring Parker as Packer and featuring a guest appearance from legendary experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage, this unpredictable and thoroughly unhinged musical memoir through one of the grislier footnotes in American history comes to Blu-ray from Degausser Video, newly restored from the best-surviving video and film materials; presented both from the video master plus, for the first time ever, from the only existing 35mm print, and featuring an exclusive and all new feature-length making-of documentary in addition to loads of archival extras and revealing new interviews!

STARRING: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Dian Bachar, Stan Brakhage

#horror – #horrormovies – #BloodARamaTripleFrightmareII – #AGFA – @filmarchive –

Mutilation maniacs on the loose! Blood-A-Rama Triple Frightmare II collects three sun-baked, kitsch-gore horror classicks that were produced in the shadow of the iconic Blood Feast. In Love Goddesses of Blood Island aka Six She’s and A He—presented in its long-lost, original uncut version for the first time ever—a man (Bill Rogers, A Taste of Blood) washes ashore on an island inhabited only by women . . . with a taste for guts. Follow That Skirt aka Mondo Weirdo follows the exploits of a creepozoid slasher in a vortex of bad taste that would make John Waters proud. Finally, The Undertaker and His Pals tells the delightful story of a fast food joint that serves more than hamburgers. Featuring a commentary track from actor/comedian Patton Oswalt and an option to watch the full program in “drive-in” mode, this collection will provide you with a true night to dismember.

Derek’s life has taken a turn for the worse. Barely surviving off of ride-share income and living in his car, a chance encounter with childhood friend Gil offers new hope in the form of an unusual job offer: serving as a live tester for a highly sophisticated and unsettlingly realistic AI-powered sex doll named Susan; one specifically designed to handle extreme physical abuse. Initially concerned about how working on such a project might affect his already fragile mental health, the allure of a regular salary is too hard to resist, and Derek agrees. As their sessions become increasingly intense and personal, Derek begins feeling an unexpected emotional attachment towards Susan, which forces him to confront more of his submerged inner demons…

From acclaimed underground writer/director Scooter McCrae (Shatter Dead) comes Black Eyed Susan. Starring Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night) and newcomer Yvonne Emilie Thälker in their captivating screen debut as Susan, this unsettling exploration of contemporary sexuality and moral posturing, set against a science-fiction backdrop, offers a stark glimpse at a future that is likely just around the corner. Scored by renowned Italian composer Fabio Frizzi (The Beyond, Zombie) and photographed entirely on 16mm film, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is proud to present Black Eyed Susan on Blu-ray, loaded with engrossing interviews and commentaries with the cast and crew.

After decades spent in limbo, Terror and Fury are back—and they’re angry. Thrust into a world teeming with monsters, they unleash their fury on every creature in their path, leaving carnage in their wake. But as they tear through the undead hordes, they uncover a sinister plot: a powerful cabal of vampires is conspiring to enslave humanity, keeping humans as a constant supply of food. With the world’s fate hanging in the balance, Terror and Fury must take on the vampire elite and their monstrous minions. Their brutal methods might not win them many allies, but if there’s one thing these two are good at, it’s killing. Can they kill enough vampires to stop the bloodsuckers’ rise to power? One thing is for sure: if they fail, it won’t be for lack of trying—or bloodshed.
