Contractually as Fred himself is making money from this release 88 have to wait a little while. Essentially its looking like we'll get the same disc as I believe 88 have licensed the whole package including the scan.

It's okay. It's certainly not the classic some will soon make it out to be. It's one i will buy though. The main problem is Fred Olen Ray isn't that good a film maker. Some fun kills though. As i say i will pick it up.

Is he the guy who made Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers? That was pretty garbage to be sure

He is.

I just looked on his IMDB page he makes like 6-7 films a year under different names... quantity over quality

Might give this one a miss!

Scalps was his first film of any note. I've only seen a piss poor copy of it a long time ago and that seemed okay so as i say i'll get this release.

Olen Ray seems to make one or two good films like Cyclone, Inner Sanctum, Scream Queen Hot Tub Party which is essentially 90's scream queens in a hot tub doing a clip show, and Bad Girls From Mars, i actually quite like The Phantom Empire as well although it's dross if i'm honest. He has made a lot of rubbish like 13 Erotic Ghosts (Yes i own it of course - Julie Strain in 3D) and pretty much everything else since that i've seen.

I watched a lot of his films in the late 80's - mid 90's.
