Blood games was really fun. A girls baseball teams beats a team of rednecks and does something to piss them off after and they spend the movie trying to kill the girls. The undertaker is also decent. It’s got joe spinel and it’s sorta like maniac. Wacko was a funny slasher spoof.
Great Vinegar Syndrome collection Christian I have some of the ones you profiled you are right they are a great company and they care about the customers
Fade to Black is such a good commentary on loneliness and how our coping strategies may become distorted. When the fake Marilyn loses track of time and misses their first date, I feel so bad for him. And I enjoyed how they didn't make her a heartless person but she did see him as an afterthought. So much so that she doesn't even recognize him when he pretends to be a photographer later in the movie.
I had just got another VS title in today. Got the 4k edition of Cloak And Dagger. Other than that, I got: Amityville Dollhouse Don't Answer The Phone Ice Cream Man Incubus Jack Frost Orgy Of The Dead Pigs
Great selection! Some recommendations I'd make, All American Murder could pass as an American Giallo, Blood Games is like Deliverance with a female softball team, Creature is a great Alien knock off, Incubus will leave your jaw on the floor, Nightbeast is the movie Nic Cage watches on the TV in Mandy and its incredible, and I think you might also enjoy There's Nothing Out There! which is a low budget but very fun and endearing 80s creature feature. Oh, and because you also enjoy action movies, Death Promise is wild fun and the now OOP titles, La Wars and Action USA which you can get from MVD are a must watch.
The Stephen King Dark Tower books, unlike that unrelated movie, are actually great. I'd recommend anyone give the first two books a read. I think most watching this channel would really dig it. It's not exactly a horror series, although there are definitely major horror elements. King does manage to tie in pretty much every book he's ever written (to that point) in the books. The main character is The Gunslinger, a man from a post apocalyptic world called Gilead (Gill-E-Add) that's "moved on," as they say. In the first book, he's in pursuit of a mysterious Man in Black. You find out why towards the end of the first book, which is short. He also meets a boy from our modern day New York who has somehow ended up in The Gunslinger's world. I'm not going to give away too much, but The Gunslinger ends up traveling to our world in the second book, entitled The Drawing of the Three, and then things get really f'n interesting. Do not watch that terrible Dark Tower movie with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Imagine trying to cram all 8 Game of Thrones seasons into a single 90 minute movie. That sums up what they did with that dog crap movie. Even those top-notch actors couldn't save it. I loathe that movie so much because people will watch that crap on streaming and they'll think one of the best book series of our lifetimes must suck. You can get all seven books for around $30 on Ebay. I would recommend making sure you get a 2003 or later Revised version of the first book, entitled The Gunslinger. King originally wrote The Gunslinger broken up as horror magazine submissions starting around 1969, then it was later put together as a full novel. He cleaned it up and revised it in 2003 as he was writing the last three books. They're small revisions, mostly things like fixing errors, such as one where he has a city and a character with the same name in the first book. This character is mentioned in subsequent books, so the revision in the first book just fixes the minor mistake. Stuff like that. The overall plot remains the same. Consider the 2003 revision the Final Draft from a now mature, seasoned author.
Great video, man! I actually don't have many Vinegar Syndrome titles, so i do need to grab some. They have released a few movies I've been wanting like Fade To Black, Spookies and several others!
Mausoleum was just released on 18th December 2023 by a company called Treasured Films in a rigid case. I know it's not VS but I picked that version up. Thanks for the tip. I also picked up the Scanner Cop set. Thanks again.
Sad to hear you don’t like Hell Comes to Frogtown. I LOVE that movie haha but my taste is pretty wild when it comes to horror. For example: Humanoids From The Deep & Rawhead Rex I am madly in love with haha
Love Vinegar Syndrome!!! Awesome collection you got going there my friend.I would love to own more of them.I got a modest size collection of DVDs and blu’s but they hit your pocket hard here Down Under lol.
From Vin Syn, I Recommend: Six-String Samurai, Dead Heat, The Candy Snatchers, Hitcher in the Dark, Invisible Maniac, Sudden Fury, The Scary of Sixty-First, and Thriller. I agree with your recommendations that I've seen, but I didn't want to repeat those. You've got me really interested in Spookies, Spellcaster, Don't Panic, The Suckling, The Calling, Fade to Black, and Dolly Dearest.
Speaking of Spookies and 4K, 88 Films did release a blurred image of upcoming movies in 4K, and one of the blurred movies looked very much like Spookies, 99% sure indeed! So be prepared for the upgrade!
Vin Syn subscriber. I have several of those and have seen some of the others. Psycho Cop Returns and Spellcaster are out of print. Hoping MVD or someone puts them out. I could see Blue Underground doing Psycho Cop Returns.
I love VS, they always have great releases, but man, I have a hard time picking a favorite between VS and Synapse when it comes to packaging and 4K, I love Arrow too but there's just something about the other 2 companies when it comes to the films they release and everything that goes into the packaging.
