Vinegar Syndrome‘s annual Black Friday Flash Pre-order just kicked off this morning, with all five of the company’s November 2020 releases now up for grabs over on their website.
The November collection includes Don Coscarelli’s The Beastmaster on 4K Ultra HD for the very first time, as well as the slasher film Fade to Black on Blu-ray for the first time!
Vinegar Syndrome announced today, “We are beyond excited to introduce you to Vinegar Syndrome Ultra, a new Vinegar Syndrome sub-label focused exclusively on extravagant UHD/Blu releases of ‘major’ 80s and 90s titles that might not always fit into the regular VS milieu (although the first one definitely does!). For the first VSU release, we’re unleashing the worldwide UHD and North American Blu-ray debut of acclaimed genre filmmaker Don Coscarelli’s 1982 supernatural/fantasy/action blockbuster, The Beastmaster, presented in a brand new 4K restoration, along with an exclusive, multi-part, feature length making-of documentary, 40 page bound book, and a stunning new case designed by Earl Kess.”
“Next up, the world Blu-ray premier of Vernon Zimmerman’s cinephile slasher classic, Fade to Black, newly restored in 4K from long believed lost pre-print elements and packed with exciting extras! Last, for now, is our long anticipated second Giallo collection, this time featuring a trio of never on Blu and long OOP on DVD early 70s, all Italian, slasher-esque gialli, headlined by Ferdinando Merighi’s impressively sleazy and gory French Sex Murders, presented in its never-on-disc French version (restored from the camera negative!), which includes extensive extra nudity that’s only ever been available in low grade VHS rips. Then Tonino Valerii’s satisfyingly violent My Dear Killer, in a new 4K restoration of its original negative, and lastly a rare example of a giallo directed in Italy – by an American, with William L. Rose’s ultra trashy The Girl in Room 2A, presented in its extended Italian cut newly restored from its original negative!”
“But that’s not even close to being all as there’s two more titles which we’re not gonna tell you about…perhaps even the best two…the surprise titles, both of which are 80s horror must haves and include our much speculated on 3D release along with an incredible supernatural slasher. We can basically guarantee that you’re not gonna be disappointed…”
The Black Friday Flash Pre-order goes until Sunday, November 27 at 11:59pm EST.
