Jinx, yeah, there seems to be a bit of confusion with the "Bloodrage" by John Grissmer (a slasher film from 83(not released until 87) ) you posted and Zito's film of the same title. IMDB doesn't help matters, the cover for the Vipco release of Zito's film is used as the still for Grissmer's film on IMDB and the page for Zito's doesn't even have a picture!

The Grissmer version has been released on DVD in the US as "Nightmare at Shadow woods" but has quite a bit of violence cut so an uncut Arrow release would be welcome!
As an early effort from Joseph Zito, 'Blood Rage' isn't too bad. I like his movies, It's not his best by a long shot but it couldn't possibly compete with his own "The Prowler" or "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" of course. I remember this being pretty grimy and sleazy in tone, with that sort of downbeat "Driller Killer" feel to it, rather than over the top violence.
It'd still be nice to get a decent re-release of this, could finally chuck that awful Vipco effort. Although the BBFC didn't cut the movie, there's talk that Vipco's version was pre-cut.

Regarding "The town that dreaded sundown", is there any definite reason this hasn't shown up yet on disc? Rights issue? With the number of Zodiac/Summer of Sam movies/fans out there, this would probably do pretty well if re-released.
