A great slew of announcements - I'm definitely in for The Bloodstained Butterfly, The Count Yorga films Microwave Massacre. I couldn't give a rat's testicle whether Arrow are re-releasing the Cronenberg short films. If it makes them more money to pump into other releases then bully for them. It'll be interesting to see what the Academy announcements yield on Monday (well, I'm interested anyway!  ), especially as Arrow recently posted a Fritz Lang photo on FB. Hoping for The Woman in the Window!

The specs: NEW UK TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT: David Cronenberg’s Early Works From one of the greatest masters of the genre come these early works which eagerly anticipate his later masterworks. These stunning new restorations premiered in our sell out Videodrome Limited Edition but are now available to pre-order separately: Synopsis: One of the most singular auteurs of the horror and science fiction genres, David Cronenberg has wowed audiences with his depictions of body transformations and explorations of society, this collection of his early short and feature films shows a master learning his craft and exploring many of the themes that would dominate his most celebrated work. Transfer (1966), Cronenberg’s first short film, is a surreal sketch of a doctor and his patient. From the Drain (1967) finds two men in a bathtub, which may be part of a centre for veterans of a future war. Stereo (1969), Cronenberg’s first official feature film, stunningly shot in monochrome, concerns telepaths at the Institute for Erotic Enquiry where patients undergo tests by Dr. Luther Stringfellow. In Crimes of theFuture (1970) Cronenberg worked in colour and with a larger budget, where we find the House of Skin clinic director (Ronald Mlodzik, returning from Stereo) searching for his mentor, Antoine Rouge, who has disappeared following a catastrophic plague. Cronenberg’s early amateur feature films, shot in and around his university campus, prefigure his later films’ concerns with strange institutions, male/female separation and ESP, echoing the likes ofVideodrome, Dead Ringers and Scanners.

NEW UK TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Count Yorga Collection These much loved cult classics starring Robert Quarry (Dr Phibes Rises Again) make their DVD and Blu-ray UK premieres in this collection featuring commentaries for both films! Synopsis: TALL, DARK AND DEADLY! Updating the vampire mythos to early 1970s Los Angeles, these much-loved cult classics star Robert Quarry (Dr Phibes Rises Again) as the svelte Count Yorga, living in a mansion in the southern California hills with his equally mysterious “brides”. Introducing himself as a mystic from Bulgaria who’s an expert on séances, his true nature is given away by the title of his first film, Count Yorga, Vampire, long before the hapless Donna (Donna Anders, Werewolves on Wheels) and her friends discover the truth. The sequel, The Return of Count Yorga, sees him relocate to San Francisco, where he has designs on an orphanage as a source of potential victims, but gets distracted by the prospect of the beautiful but innocent Cynthia (Mariette Hartley, Marooned) becoming the latest addition to his harem. Firm drive-in favourites from the moment they were first unleashed, the Count Yorga films were directed by Bob Kelljan (Scream Blacula Scream) with just the right mix of atmosphere, suspense and tongue-in-cheek humour, with Quarry’s delivery of the Count’s witty one-liners being a particular joy.

NEW UK/US TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT: Microwave Massacre This deliciously depraved exercise in political incorrectness stars legendary stand-up comedian Jackie Vernon and is released on Blu-ray for the first time ever, newly restored from the original negative Synopsis: THEY CAME FOR DINNER…TO FIND THEY WERE IT!! Microwave Massacre stars legendary stand-up comedian and actor Jackie Vernon as Donald, a disgruntled construction worker whose wife’s predilection for haute cuisine drives him to cannibalism. Donald unwittingly stumbles upon a solution to his two major problems in his life – his nagging wife and his lack of tasty meals – when, one night, he bludgeons his better half to death with a pepper grinder in a drunken rage. Thinking on his feet, Donald dismembers the body and sets about microwaving the remains, which turn out to be rather delicious. Trouble is, now he’s got a taste for human flesh that needs satisfying… Eschewing all notions of good taste, Wayne Berwick’s Microwave Massacre is a deliciously depraved exercise in political incorrectness that has gone on to gain a cult following thanks to a characteristically deadpan performance from lead Vernon, who delivers such choice lines as “I’m so hungry I could eat a whore”. Vegetarians need not apply! SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS
