Vinegar Syndrome just put a MASSIVE lineup of new releases up for grabs this afternoon, making one thing crystal clear: in the horror world, physical media is alive & well in 2024!
First up, Vinegar Syndrome’s March 2024 lineup includes the 4K UHD debut of the landmark horror anthology and Amicus classic, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors from 1965.
The March package also includes Specters (1987), Singapore Sling (1990), Story of a Junkie (1985), and Goin’ South (1978), while Nightbeast (1982) gets a VHS release.
Vinegar Syndrome further details, “We’re getting in the Halloween spirit 7 months early with the 4K UHD debut of director Freddie Francis’ landmark horror anthology and Amicus classic, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965), newly and exclusively restored by VS from its 35mm camera negative and overflowing with an array of archival interviews and other exciting extras. Moving two decades on, we’ve paired a duo of devilish supernatural horrors from director Marcello Avallone with his South American set shocker Maya (1989) paired with the equally fiendish Specters (1987), starring Donald Pleasance! Both films have been newly restored from their camera negatives and come packed with an abundance of new interviews. And rounding out the VS offerings is easily one of the more twisted films we’ve had as of late, with Nikos Nikolaidis’ landmark of Greek genre cinema, Singapore Sling (1990). We’ve exclusively restored this staggeringly beautiful descent into decadent perversion from its original negative and are offering its first English friendly Blu-ray, loaded with new and archival extras.
“Meanwhile, Cinématographe is back with Jack Nicholson’s second directorial effort, Goin’ South (1978). This raucous revisionist western/satire stars Nicholson alongside Mary Steenburgen, Christopher Lloyd, John Belushi, Danny DeVito, and more. We’ve newly restored it in 4K from its camera negative and as, per usual, it comes housed in Cinématographe’s exclusive deluxe packaging. Plus, VS Labs is offering the Blu-ray debut of Lech Kowalski’s notorious docudrama and Troma favorite Story of a Junkie (aka Gringo) (1985), freshly restored in 4K from its 16mm camera negative and loaded with plentiful new and archival extras. This sobering slice of 1980s Manhattan is sure to leave you glued to your seat, mouth agape.”
And then there’s the company’s partner labels, with 14 NEW TITLES put up for grabs this afternoon. They include films from the labels Film Archive, Art Label, Canadian International Pictures, Dark Star Pictures, Deaf Crocodile, Dekanalog, and Enjoy the Ride/Toons.
The new partner label collection includes Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022), Scalper (2023), Severe Injuries (2003), and The Last Slumber Party (1988), to name just a few.
