AMITYVILLE: THE CURSED COLLECTION
One of the most popular horror franchises of the '80s and '90s, The Amityville Horror series was given new life by producer Steve White who moved the narrative from dreary Long Island to sunny California, with his four ‘cursed objects' themed installments (Amityville: The Evil Escapes, Amityville: It’s About Time, Amityville: A New Generation and Amityville Dollhouse), collected here on home video for the very first time in Amityville: The Cursed Collection!
This limited edition and painstakingly crafted box set (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 4,000 units and is only available from VS!
BERSERKER
In the Jefferson Richard's film, A group of friends have set out on a camping trip in a rural part of Utah. Although warned by kindly Norwegian immigrant, Pappy Nyquist (George ‘Buck’ Flowers), of a series of recent killings, supposedly the result of a bear, the campers are undeterred and decide to spend the night outdoors, getting drunk and sharing stories of berserkers, ruthlessly violent viking warriors who wore bear skins and snouts. Not long after pairing off for romantic escapades, they find themselves terrorized and ripped apart by a large and violent bear...but is it actually a bear, or perhaps a real life berserker who has somehow been transported to the 20th century...
This release features a special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) that is limited to 2,000 units and features a new 2K scan from its long lost original camera negative.
UNMASKED PART 25
In the horror-comedy from director Anders Palm, Jackson (Gregory Cox) is your run-of-the-mill, hockey mask wearing psychotic killer. Hideously deformed, he spends his time stalking and brutally murdering over-sexed young people, in a variety of nasty methods. But then he meets Shelly (Fiona Evans), a young blind woman who appreciates him as a person (it helps that she can't see the carnage he leaves at every turn). Finding himself falling in love for the first time, Jackson decides that it might be time to finally hang up his cutlery and settle into a happy life of domestic bliss. But can he really overcome his bloodthirsty impulses?
This release features a special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) that is limited to 2,000 units, and is newly scanned and restored in 2K from its 35mm internegative. Vinegar Syndrome are bringing the film to Blu-ray for the first time.
BEYOND THE DOOR III
In writer/director Jeff Kwitny's Beyond the Door III (originally known as Amok Train), Shy American college coed, Beverly Putnic, has been invited to go on a class trip to a remote part of Yugoslavia to witness and take part in an ancient cultural rite. But what Beverly doesn't know is that she's actually being lured to Europe in order to be made the bride of Satan! Narrowly escaping from the clutches of a witch, Beverly and her classmates take refuge on a train. Unfortunately, black magic meets them at every turn as the train becomes possessed and begins offing them one by one.
This one also features a special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) that is limited to 2,000 units, and a brand new 4K restoration of its original negative.
All of these releases are available singularly or as a significantly discounted bundle. What are you waiting for? Head on over to VinegarSyndrome.com and pre-order your copies today!
