“It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!” cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the ‘o’ in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you’ve seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff.

Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent, whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret.

Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher, this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel.

Released 13/05/2013

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE

Me too, it's such a daft, fun film. I hope they can release it's MGM R1 DVD partner Deranged too :pray:

The artwork is amazing! :clap: C

still remember watching this when i was about ten and the guy with the pig head mask scared the crap out of me had nightmares for weeks, never seen it since but cant wait too see it again

Can't wait for this. I actually love the artwork too, despite being very critical of all of Zornow's Arrow output (and his SF output). The tone suits the film, it's dynamic, there's less of a feeling of various different things all plonked on. Cannot wait :)

I have this on a double bill DVD with Deranged, so the upgrade to HD is a no-brainer. Such a wacky film and one I'll definitely buy – love the artwork.

Yes, an MGM deal! Now, do the Phibes films!

Here's the trailer for this crazy film

Motel Hell (1980) trailer - YouTube

That's actually my favourite part of the announcment. With this, Foxy Brown and Blow Out, I'm guessing they got an mgm deal. And MGM have a LOT of very good titles asking for an upgrade.

Shame about the terrible artwork, but who cares when the film is being released at all! A lovely ridiculous bit of comedy.

I actually think that art is quite good for it.

The character laid down is truly shite, but the rest is pretty good.

I'm being driven to madness here!

Back in the 80's/early 90's, there was a rock band who used the line 'It takes all kinds of critters, to make Farmer Vincent's fritters', and I cannot remember who they were, and what the song was!

Please help me, someone!!!!!

I've never even heard of this film but people seem to be excited about it, I'm curious now...

I got bored with it first time I watched it. Dont know if I should buy this to give it a second chance

Deranged would be good, but don't license the MGM print, it's cut. If Arrow are going to do it, then do it properly and get an uncut master.

Motel Hell is great - but I'm a sucker for 80's horror, especially slashers. :nod:

Good point, I have the uncut German 30th Anniversary edition as well as the MGM double bill, needless to say I only watch the uncut version

Motel Hell by F.K.U. ?

F.K.ü. - MOTEL HELL LYRICS

Or could it be this? There's loads of songs called Motel Hell! LOL! But this one is most definitely a tribute to the film...


Blitzkid - Motel Hell (with lyrics) - YouTube

Yeah Motel Hell is one of the best films from the eighties.
Highly enjoyable.:nod:

Hahah I like that - shame the video has loads of killing scene spoilers lol :rolleyes:

Love this film. Was great seeing a nod to it in the new Texas Chainsaw film. This is a must buy for me.

so looking forward to this! blood diner needs a release, I think the colouring on the art is awful though

Thanks for the suggestions, but it was neither of those

Ii would have been something that I had in my collection at the time, and I never had anything by those bands

I think they were more mainstream metal, rather than hardcore

Now.
How about THE HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELLS to go with it?

Never seen this. Sounds good, though. Is it?

Yes, it's great fun.

House or Motel?

As a matter of fact - both.

Greetings!

Both entertaining!

Easily Motel Hell of the two,but House has the never less than lovely talents of Ms.Susan George.;)

It's not a very nice Susan George though, is it? She aged really badly by the early 1980s. I couldn't believe how old she looked in ENTER THE NINJA.

I've not seen MOTEL HELL or HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELL despite owning both on DVD for years! :D

Still wouldn't kick her out of bed for farting!:lol:

HA! :D There's nothing wrong and we all age but I was shocked to see how much she'd changed in the space of ten years, especially when you consider she was still very young in the early 1980s.

Top artwork on this one. A big improvement since his Pieces cover :nod: . . .

Yeah.That's what Eastenders does to people mate.:happy:

I'm probably on my own when i say i prefer House Where Evil Dwells to Motel Hell any day of the week. :makelikeatree:

How about not. :lol:

Seriously, that's one bad film - although seeing Doug McClure doing some faux Kung Fu is worth the admission price alone. :D

The search continues, then. I'll find it, just bear with me. ;)

Nobody gets away with farting in my bed. :lol:
