Night of the Vamp-Friars [2026]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD
DIRECTOR/WRITER: Kurtis M. Spieler
PRINCIPAL CAST: Abby Arza, Domenico Pugliese, Joey Ambrosini
SYNOPSIS:
*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
Roxy, an anthropology major at her local university, is a DJ for the school’s radio station and a big fan of local lore. One night, a listener calls into Roxy’s show to share a legend about a cemetery hidden deep in the nearby Connecticut woodland where a group of outcast friars were allegedly killed and buried since the townspeople believed them to be vampires. Seizing upon a potentially great topic for her thesis, Roxy convinces her friends in a punk band to venture into the woods for a weekend of camping in hopes of finding the cemetery. Once the group discovers that the legend of the cemetery is in fact real, blood is accidentally spilled on the cursed burial ground, and the undead friars emerge from their graves in search of fresh victims to satisfy their bloodlust.
Written, directed, and edited by Connecticut filmmaker Kurtis M. Spieler (re-director of New York Ninja), NIGHT OF THE VAMP-FRIARS is a throwback to the low-budget regional horror films made famous during the video store era of the 1980s and early ’90s. Entirely produced in-house and primarily shot on actual Vinegar Syndrome property, the film pays tribute to the homegrown horror films of yesteryear by shooting entirely on 16mm film and utilizing lo-fi practical effects to maintain the film’s naturally DIY aesthetic. Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is bloody excited to present the home video debut of this gory Nutmeg state love letter to the art of independent horror filmmaking.

PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
DIRECTOR/WRITER: Tim Reis
PRINCIPAL CAST: Brian Troxell, Mary Malloy, Troy Halverson, Vikas Adam
SYNOPSIS:
*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
BAD BLOOD: THE MOVIE takes ‘werefroggery’ to a whole new level! After a horrific amphibian attack leaves college student Victoria Miller (Mary Malloy) infected with a mutational disease, she returns home where the antidote to her affliction is mistaken for drugs by her evil stepfather. Locked in her room without her medicine, she transforms into a hideous monster to give everyone a taste of their own, while an obsessive private investigator uncovers the dark truth about her condition. A love letter to the Stuart Gordon/Frank Henenlotter mad science opuses of the ’80’s, BAD BLOOD: THE MOVIE is an amphibious twist on classic werewolf mythology, equal parts X-Files and Tales from The Crypt, with a familiar blend of humor, horror and practical creature effects (handled by James Sizemore, THE DEMON’S ROOK).

THE NORTH AMERICAN DISC PREMIERE WITH 6+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
It redefined both fairy tales and body horror, stunned audiences at Sundance, was nominated for an Oscar® and remains a “cinematically exhilarating” (Vulture), “playfully grotesque” (Indiewire) and “undeniably vicious piece of entertainment” (RogerEbert.com). Now you can experience the “jaw-dropping debut” (Paste Magazine) by writer/director Emilie Blichfeldt on physical media for the first time ever in North America: In this grisly reinterpretation of Cinderella, a young maiden – an unforgettable performance by Lea Myren – will submit to a series of increasingly brutal cosmetic extremes to win the love of a less-than-charming prince. But in a kingdom of cruelty where beauty is pain, what is the ultimate human cost of ‘happily ever after’? “Imagine Cinderella meets SUSPIRIA meets Cronenberg,” says Elements of Madness. “THE UGLY STEPSISTER is surreal, brilliant, masterfully crafted and one of the best horror movies of the year.”
