It’s August, which means it’s basically Halloween. The lovely folks at Terror Vision are of the same mindset and have started celebrating the spooky season with their #13WeeksOfHalloween. Running until October 31st, the beloved genre distributor will be dropping new titles every Tuesday for #TerrorVisionTuesday. Releases will range from the early 1900s to brand-new 2023 titles, with almost all horror adjacent and new to disc!
Terror Vision will be releasing a definitive triple LP edition of the score to THE MONSTER SQUAD, the score to RUMPLESTILTSKIN on cassette and LP, and, following their Blu-ray release of COPPERHEAD earlier this year, will be releasing the film on VHS… along with its recently-announced LP! In addition, LINNEA QUIGLEY’S HORROR WORKOUT (1990) will finally be available on VHS and Blu-ray, with its outrageous score available on LP and cassette! For fans of Roman Polanski’s ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968), Terror Vision is dropping the classic film’s score on cassette, as well!
The distributor is also announcing their second UHD title with the release of 2023’s MALUM, which will simultaneously be getting a VHS release. The Aussie cult hit CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY VANILLA (2014) will be making its U.S. Blu-ray debut with a new HD upgrade, along with plenty of extras including the first season of DRAGON FORCE X! Terror Vision is also releasing the Indonesian exploitation film ESCAPE FROM HELL HOLE (1983), restored in 2K from its original camera negative; the almost-lost-to-time SOV slasher SHRECK (1990) from veteran horror filmmakers Don Adams and Henry Picardi; and Tony Elwood’s long-forgotten 1990 slasher film KILLER!, restored in 2K from its original 8mm camera negative!
With #13WeeksOfHalloween, Terror Vision promises a ton of surprises and an onslaught of titles for fans to choose from.
Here’s just a little taste of what else is being released this year:
1911’s silent Italian classic DANTE’S INFERNO – from directors Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, and Giuseppe de Liguoro – scanned in 4K from one of the world’s only remaining prints, and featuring multiple scores to choose from.
A brand new 4K scan from the only remaining print of Bill Leslie and Terry Lofton’s THE NAIL GUN MASSACRE (1985).
One of the most highly-requested horror releases of all time, Maurice Devereaux’s SLASHERS (2001)… featuring multiple cuts of the film!
A double dose of hicksploitation backwoods romps with ‘GATOR BAIT (1974) and ‘GATOR BAIT 2: CAJUN JUSTICE (1988)… both in HD!
Another highly requested SOV title hits Terror Vision’s library with HOLLOW GATE (1988)! Numerous other titles from the infamous – and now-defunct – City Lights Entertainment will also be coming, all scanned from their original tape masters!
Looking for even more SOV horror? Then get ready for the Danny Bonaduce-starring shot-on-video classic AMERICA’S DEADLIEST HOME VIDEO (1993), packed with a ton of killer extras!
Indonesian wackiness with THE DEVIL’S SWORD (1984), from a 2K scan of the original camera negative.
For slasher fans, Terror Vision will be releasing an all-new version of Beverly Sebastian’s ROCKTOBER BLOOD (1984), which has been frankensteined together from the film’s original master tapes – guaranteed to be the ultimate release of this often-overlooked slasher.
They also have the Fred Williamson-starring BLACK COBRA (1987) and BLACK COBRA 2 (1989) coming in HD for the very first time.
Japan’s first Giallo-inspired-horror film, Banmei Takahashi’s DOOR (1988), finally arrives in the U.S. with a stunning new restoration.
Another highly-requested SOV film arrives at Terror Vision with Jon McBride’s WOODCHIPPER MASSACRE (1988).
The Kevin Coster-starring erotic thriller SHADOWS RUN BLACK (1984) will also be making its Blu-ray debut at Terror Vision, alongside a number of rare Italian titles including Renato Savino’s THE CHILDREN OF VIOLENT ROME (1976) and Antonio Margheriti’s TIGER JOE (1982) and TORNADO (1983).
And to top it off, they’re also releasing Jeff Leroy’s HELL’S HIGHWAY (2002), Clay Westervelt’s Jim Wynorski documentary POPATOPOLIS (2009), and Alex Orr’s BLOOD CAR (2007) starring Anna Chlumsky!
