The Monster of Camp Sunshine & Honeymoon of Terror

  • Blu-ray
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE: Shot by anonymous maniacs in New York, this is a trash-art berserker that feels like what would happen if a 1980s slasher was teleported inside of a 1960s nudist film. A nurse and fashion model head to Camp Sunshine for a weekend of fun, sun, and cigarettes. But little do they know that Hugo, the camp’s gardener, has been transformed into an axe-wielding psychopath after drinking radioactive water! Combining experimental visuals with camp flair, this is a crackpot time capsule featuring Monty Python-esque animation, someone named Ron Cheney, Jr., and, at the end, “a brief summary of the movie for those who wish to relive its magic moments.”
  • https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126456/

  • HONEYMOON OF TERROR: An early dreamscape from director Peter Perry (MY TALE IS HOT), HONEYMOON OF TERROR (aka ECSTACY ON LOVERS’ ISLAND) is a moody mash-up of horror chills and nudie thrills that feels like a Looney Tunes cartoon made for adults. Frank and Marion are newlyweds who embark on their honeymoon to Thunder Island, only to run afoul of a psychotic, club-footed lumberjack with a lust for violence!

  • DIRECTOR: Gary Winick
  • SYNOPSIS: Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. Ray and Bob Perkins are brothers whose grisly killing spree has landed them on death row. Plotting a daring escape, they break free from prison with vengeance in mind, setting targets in the form of the key witnesses against them, but particularly the judge in their trial and the prosecuting attorney. Leaving a trail of maimed corpses as they enact their revenge, the brothers finally arrive at their prime target: the home of district attorney Walter Davenport and his wife. What they don’t expect, however, is the late return home of the Davenport’s teenage daughter, Stephanie… Mixing action, home invasion drama, and slasher pretenses, Gary Winick’s (Charlotte’s Web) directorial debut, CURFEW, is a tense, edge of your seat thriller with a high body count and a healthy dose of dark humor. Starring Kyle Richards (Watcher in the Woods), John Putch (Jaws 3-D), and Wendell Wellman (Sudden Impact), Vinegar Syndrome is pleased to present the worldwide Blu-ray debut of CURFEW, newly restored in 2K and featuring an assortment of new interviews with cast and crew.

Forgotten Gialli: Volume 3

  • Blu-ray
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Mimsy Farmer, Barry Primus, Ray Lovelock, Carlo Cataneo, Evelyn Stewart
  • DIRECTOR: Armando Crispino, Francisco Lara Polop, Filippo Walter Ratti
  • SYNOPSIS: In this third installment in our celebration of gialli, we are proud to offer this trio of diverse & bloody offerings!
  • AUTOPSY: A wave of sudden, violent suicides have gripped Rome and are being blamed on sunspots. Simona, a young pathologist, has become increasingly interested in this strange phenomenon. But with the discovery of the body of a young woman, Simona finds herself thrust into a terrifying mystery and conspiracy to cloak actual murders as suicides. An expertly directed thriller from Armando Crispino (The Dead Are Alive), AUTOPSY (made under the title Sun Spots & released internationally as The Victim), this stars Mimsy Farmer (Four Flies on Grey Velvet), Barry Primus (New York, New York), and Ray Lovelock (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). Featuring stunning photography from veteran DP Carlo Carlini (The Bloodstained Butterfly) and score from Ennio Morricone (A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring AUTOPSY to Blu-ray, fully uncensored & featuring its English & Italian language audio tracks fully intact.

  • MURDER MANSION: On a dark and foggy night, a group of strangers find themselves stranded at an old mansion. Deciding to spend the night and look for help in the morning, the group pair off for bed. As the night wares on, increasingly strange events begin to occur, culminating in murder. Tensions and suspicions rise…but is the explanation behind these ghastly events truly supernatural? One of the best and most effective combos of mid 60s style gothic Euro horror and early 70s flavored giallo intrigue, Francisco Lara Polop’s MURDER MANSION (originally The Mansion in the Fog) became a drive-in & late-nite TV hit in the US during the mid 1970s. Never legally released in the US on disc, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the Blu-ray premier, newly restored in 4K from its original negative and including its original Spanish soundtrack and its English and nearly impossible to find Italian dubs.

  • CRAZY DESIRES OF A MURDERER: The Countess Ileana has just returned to her family’s grand old castle, where her paralyzed father and strange younger brother reside. Almost immediately after arriving, one of Ileana’s friends is shockingly murdered and has her eyes plucked out of their sockets. While suspicion falls on Ileana’s brother, a curious police inspector (character actor Corrado Gaipa of THE GODFATHER and MY DEAR KILLER) begins to investigate. However, his sleuthing proves no match for this maniac, as the body count steadily rises. A delirious mix of gothic horror, sex drama, and murder mystery, Filippo Walter Ratti’s CRAZY DESIRES OF A MURDERER (known in Italy as The Morbid Vices of a Housekeeper) remains one of the forgotten treats of late 70s giallo cinema. Never released theatrically in the English speaking world and virtually unavailable on home video,

Not long after their arrival, Addie’s behavior drastically changes, as she begins to sleepwalk and speak in a strange child’s voice, much to the horror of her boyfriend Greg. Noelle, meanwhile, becomes intrigued by a mysterious young woman who inexplicably shows up at their apartment, who reveals that she believes the apartment was previously owned by infamous sex criminal and friend of government elites, Jeffrey Epstein. Determined to uncover the truth, Noelle joins the woman in her search; a journey which takes them deeper into the illicit and occult world of terrifying globalist conspiracies, where violence lurks at every turn. With strong anti-establishment sensibilities, well executed social and political satire, plentiful sex and nudity, and a satisfyingly bleak and violent final act, writer/director/co-star Dasha Nekrasova’s THE SCARY OF SIXTY-FIRST is an unfiltered and wholly original, contemporary exploitation-horror film. Paying homage to 70s Euro-horror through its gel-heavy 16mm cinematography by Hunter Zimny and a throbbing score by Eli Keszler, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is thrilled to present the worldwide home video debut of THE SCARY OF SIXTY-FIRST, in a special features loaded Blu-ray edition.

Yokai Monsters Collection Standard

  • Blu-ray
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Shinobu Araki, Jun Fujimaki, Yoshihiko Aoyama, Hideki Hanamura, Pepe Hozumi
  • DIRECTOR: Takashi Miike, Kimiyoshi Yasuda, Yoshiyuki Kuroda
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • From the makers of Daimajin comes a trilogy of terror ripped from the pages of Japanese folklore, with ghosts and monsters from ancient myths and legends brought to life through stunning special effects, alongside an epic, big-budget reboot of the series from a modern-day master of the macabre.
  • In the first film in the trilogy, 100 Monsters, a greedy slumlord’s attempts to forcefully evict his tenants invite the wrath of the titular spirits when a cleansing ritual is botched, with terrifying results. The second film, Spook Warfare, tells the tale of an evil Babylonian vampire inadvertently awoken by treasure hunters, and a brave samurai that teams with the yokai to defeat the bloodthirsty demon. In the final film, Along with Ghosts (released only 12 months after 100 Monsters), the yokai are roused to defend a little girl on the run from deadly yakuza.
  • Decades later, none other than Takashi Miike (Audition) helmed The Great Yokai War, a loose remake of Spook Warfare that used cutting-edge digital effects to renew the franchise for a new generation. In it, a young boy is given a grave responsibility: to band together with a group of yokai to defend humanity against a vengeful and powerful demon that has sworn retribution against modern-day Japan.

  • DIRECTOR: Scott Mansfield
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • Steve Railsback (famed for his unhinged performance as Charles Manson in 1976’s TV mini-series Helter Skelter) is at his sinister best as a troubled Vietnam Vet in 1982’s Deadly Games – a tale of madness, murder and adultery from writer/director Scott Mansfied.
  • A masked maniac with a penchant for a horror-themed board game is playing his own twisted game with the women of a small American town. Each time the dice is rolled, another victim meets a grisly end.
