No, that was Luther The Geek!

I jest though. That had 2 things going for it....and both belong to Stacy Haiduk. [emoji13]

Remember that Body Melt art on the old UK vhs from First Independent (formally Vestron Video UK).

I thought it was absolutely bizarre art for the film, never seen that one before. Will there be an alternate art on the reverse?

Also Calum, are you aware of if Body Melt is sourced from the same scan/transfer as the new Vinegar Syndrome 2K from Neg restoration? Or the Umbrella 4K from Interpositive restoration

Not as such, but this has just appeared:

It's thought that the release of 'Deadtime Stories' is going to be the cut version

The report on MelonFarmers states:

"Deadtime Stories is a 1986 USA comedy horror by Jeffrey Delman.
Starring Scott Valentine, Nicole Picard and Matt Mitler

UK: Probably the cut UK version was passed 18 without BBFC cuts for:

The BBFC did not provide a short Insight statement. This typically means that the BBFC did not reassess the rating and reissued an old rating. To do this the latest submission must be the same as the old version submitted previously.

Censorship History

Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1986. Presumably the same version is 18 rated for 2018 Blu-ray. Also cut in the US for an MPAA R rating. The film has yet to be released uncut.

Promotional Material

In the creepy compendium style of CREEPSHOW (1982) comes DEADTIME STORIES (1986) a collection of stories with teeth and torment that are sure to send chills down the spines of viewers even today! A sleazy and shocking pack of splatter fairy tales - this contemporary spin on the likes of "Little Red Riding Hood" has gore aplenty, a sick sense of humour and enough splattered limbs to make for essential late night viewing. Directed by genre veteran Jeffrey Delman and packed full of plastic fantastic charms, 88 Films is enthusiastic about keeping you up at night with this perfectly resto [sic]"

News: Latest Cuts: BBFC cuts and bans

I've never seen Alice, Sweet Alice. Is it a good slasher or one that's only famous because of the video nasty scandal?

i like Alice very much indeed and is like a american style giallo :)
