BLOOD HOOK
(Limited Edition Slipcover Blu-ray/DVD)

Jim Mallon's darkly humorous blend of slasher setup, pseudo-giallo, and small midwestern town fishing traditions, BLOOD HOOK, arrives on Blu-ray, newly restored from its original negative and presented in its much longer and never before released in this country, original director's cut (which includes, among other things, nearly 30 seconds of additional gore), alongside fresh interviews with its cast and crew and a limited edition embossed slipcover!

TERROR
(Limited Edition Slipcover Blu-ray/DVD)

Then, continuing to forage through the world of filmmaker Norman J. Warren, we present his 1978 splatter/slasher/send up to horror cinema, TERROR, offered in its full strength director's cut, and newly restored from its camera negative, making it all the easier to enjoy its dizzying array of low-fi gore effects. Plus, the package comes complete with a slew of all new interviews plus some freshly discovered deleted and extended plot scenes!

BLUE VENGEANCE
(Limited Edition Slipcover Blu-ray/DVD)

Thirdly, we have a real oddity from the waning days of NYC-made exploitation sleaze, J. Chris Ingvordsen's almost unclassifiable BLUE VENGEANCE. Lurching between slasher tropes, action set-pieces, and almost-supernatural curveballs, and filled with great glimpses of NYC during its last gasps of true grit, this is the most earnest piece of genre-blending Big Apple weirdness that we've released since MASSAGE PARLOR MURDERS!

LITTLE SHOWOFFS [DVD]
FLESH AND LACES 1&2 [DVD]

On DVD, we have Zachary Strong and Curt McDowell's mix of sexual documentary and fantasy set-pieces, LITTLE SHOWOFFS. And then...yes...it was inevitable, but Carlos Tobalina makes his (triumphant?) return with FLESH AND LACES: PART I & II. It's three exciting hours in two exciting parts. You've been warned...

Pre-order is up now!

March releases are in-stock and shipping from VinegarSyndrome.com!

Now, with all the excitement of April out of the way, don't forget to pick up our [almost] all 'deep cuts' March lineup, which includes:

Alexander Cassini's nearly unparalleled in weirdness slasher/art film, STAR TIME. If you ever dreamed that David Lynch's art director had made a social statement infused almost-horror film set in a near-apocalyptic looking Los Angeles, your fantasy is Alex Cassini's reality.  

Then, two masterpieces from the LA Rebellion film movement, Jamaa Fanaka's debut features WELCOME HOME BROTHER CHARLES and EMMA MAE are freshly on Blu and restored from their negatives.

Last (but not least) is Alex deRenzy's madcap spiritual sequel, BABYFACE II. Jamie Gillis pops out of a cake. So you know you need it.

For DVDs, we have a true stunner: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE PEANUT BUTTER FREAK, presented fully uncut for the first time on home video. And, a very theatrically minded Peekarama double with GOOD GIRLS, BAD GIRLS and WOMEN AT PLAY!
They're in stock and shipping now, so don't delay!

Halfway to Black Friday is just around the corner!

Halfway to Black Friday = May 25th - 28th

With just over two months to go until our ’trademarked‘ Halfway to Black Friday sale over Memorial Day Weekend, we're offering a taste of what May has in store, and said taste is the Blu-ray premier of Melvin Van Peebles masterpiece, SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG. As with our previous Halfway sale, we‘ll have two exciting Blu-ray surprises; one a home grown gem of white trash nastiness, the other a surprisingly elegant portrayal of guttural sleaze.

Also...in addition to SWEETBACK and the two surprise Blu-rays, May will bring the Blu-ray debuts of a mid-80s gore-comedy and another Roger Watkins directed film (no, it's not LHoDES).
