HAPPY HALLOWEEN HORROR TRIO FROM SEVERIN FILMS
Thursday 10th October 2019 - posted by Eric_Cotenas
On 29 October 2019, Severin Films marks the holiday season with a trio of Italian horrors, two of which are making their international debut on Blu-ray. In Byleth, The Demon of Incest, The Fall of the House of Usher's Mark Damon plays an aristocrat who goes over the deep end into murderous extremes when his sister brings home a husband. One of the handful of films that fully represents the talents of its jobbing director Leopoldo Savona (who was fired from Knives of the Avenger and replaced by Mario Bava). From the director of Starcrash, Paganini Horror portrays the bloody misfortune that befalls a girl rock group (led by Demons' Jasmine Main) who decide to film a rock video in the haunted villa with a song based on a lost manuscript of the legendary composer Niccolo Paganini who was rumored to have sold his soul to the devil. Donald Pleasance guest stars as Satan himself (a talent agent, go figure). Finally, in Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory, a doctor who left America under a cloud of suspicion takes a job at a Scottish girls' reform school, and his arrival coincides with a series of savage, bestial murders. Carl Schell (younger brother of Maximillian), Roman Polanski's first wife Barbara Lass, and Curt Lowens star.

BEYOND THE DOOR III COMING TO BLU-RAY FROM VINEGAR SYNDROME!
Sunday 15th September 2019 - posted by Eric_Cotenas
On October 29, 2019, Vinegar Syndrome's October lineup streets with a full roster of horror. First up is Beyond the Door III (also known as Amok Train) in which a group of American high school students travel deep into the Yugoslavian countryside to witness a pre-Christian passion play and barely escape being human sacrifices. They board a train to escape, but the engine soon becomes possessed and starts killing anyone who comes between the Prince of Darkness and his virgin bride. No more related to Beyond the Door than Beyond the Door 2, Beyond the Door III was gutted for an R-rating upon American home video release but is presented on here in its face-ripping, torso-shredding uncut glory.
• Region Free Blu-ray/DVD combo
• Newly scanned & restored in 4k from its 35mm original camera negative
• "Running Amok" interview with director Jeff Kwitny
• “A Long Walk to Yugoslavia” interview with actor Bo Svenson

Nekromantik 2 features a director approved HD transfer from the 16mm negative, commentary by Buttgereit and Rodenkirchen, as well as actors Monika M. and Mark Reeder, making-of, 20th anniversary concert video, music video, a 2012 short film, the original soundtrack as well as a new live performance version.

SCORPIO FILMS: THE DUTCH SEX WAVE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SET
Monday 26th August 2019 - posted by Eric_Cotenas
On October 8, 2019, Cult Epics will release a limited edition Blu-ray set of four films from Holland's "Dutch Sex Wave" and the landmark production company Scorpio Films. In the Martin Scorcese-scripted Hitchcockian Obsessions, a medical student becomes voyeur when he discovers a peephole into the apartment next door and sees a sex murder. In Frank & Eva, a man constantly cheats on his wife - with Emmanuelle's Sylvia Kristel among others - but becomes jealous when she takes a lover of her own. In Blue Movie, a young man fresh out of prison for a "social offense" finds his attempts to go straight frustrated by an apartment building full of dissatisfied and horny women. Finally, in My Nights with Susan, Sandra, Olga & Julie, a drifter becomes entangled in a murderous psychosexual four-way when he finds work on a country farm with four beautiful women, a madwoman, and a voyeur. Previously released in separate Blu-ray/DVD combo editions, the four films are included in this set as Blu-ray discs - a DVD set will also be available - with introductions, interviews, short films, trailers, and an exclusive 16-page booklet included with the first pressing.

A limited edition, 100-copy version of the Blu-ray set is available HERE as a web exclusive signed by director Pim de la Parra with a set of four postcards.
