dsman71 · 12-20-2016, 09:26 PM

Per Scorpion Releasing
A group of teens on a boat trip get caught in a dense fog and run aground on the rocks of the mysterious 'Dog Island'. They take refuge on the island only to find one of the group is missing and another is critically injured. Unfortunately they are not alone on the island. Something is loose... it's angry... and very hungry! Starring Janet Julian (TV's NANCY DREW, CHOKE CANYON), David Wallace (MORTUARY), Janit Baldwin (PRIME CUT, RUBY) and directed by Paul Lynch (PROM NIGHT, CROSS COUNTRY), now watch this slasher classic in high definition !
The first 2,000 copies of HUMONGOUS will include a slipsleeve featuring custom artwork by artist Kung Fu Bob, so be sure to pre-book it when we start taking orders next month!

Great news! It looks as though Scorpion Releasing has done everything they can to give fans both versions in as good quality as possible.

There is a photo on their page but getting it on this page isn't something I'm good at lol

Great news! Walt is doing it right by giving us both versions. Day 1 buy. Thanks Walt! Can't wait! One of my favorite slashers.

That art is a thing of beauty!

Another exciting blind buy. Can't wait for this one.

iamnoone · 12-20-2016, 10:35 PM

Excellent new art! Just take one image from the film and run with that. Simple and sweet - what a concept!

NoirFan · 12-20-2016, 10:41 PM

The new art reminds me somewhat of the UK Maniac Cop design, but the reverse is the original, which I've always liked, so I'm good. Pleased to see this is finally getting a release - could Human Experiments be next?

Hugh Mungous wot?!

This is great news I remember Bill from Code Red saying there wasn't a good enough source a couple years back (of course there wasn't from Mutant back then either), so I wasn't expecting this.

My uncle claims to have invented the term Humongous.

MJD64 · 12-20-2016, 10:56 PM

I originally saw this ages ago when it first appeared on cable and must confess I don't have a vivid recollection of it, will have to check it out again.

I grew up in the 80's during the heyday of slasher films and can still remember the vitriolic critical response to so many of them; it was as if these films were a personal affront and some sort of celluloid manifestation of the Anti-Christ.Time has certainly given them a nostalgic quality and some seem downright quaint compared to the horrors of today.

mca213 · 12-20-2016, 11:10 PM

HELL YES! This is why you rock, Walt - listening to the fans! Thanks for giving us this in HD!

BarnDoor · 12-20-2016, 11:28 PM

Big thanks to Walt for including both versions.

kp404 · 12-21-2016, 01:19 AM

This is amazing. The only version I've seen of this was online and so dark I couldn't tell what was going on. Thanks Walt!!!!

Dickieduvet · 12-21-2016, 01:47 AM

Still got my Avco Embassy VHS, this is going to be a revalation.

Can't bloody wait

Yaaaaayyyyy!!!

Check out Roger Ebert of Siskel & Ebert making "Humongous" the "dog of the week." Aired shortly after this film was released in June 1982.

Mr. Thomsen · 12-21-2016, 08:19 AM

Great news! And very cool that Walt listened to the fans and opted for including both versions, even though the unrated scenes only exist in SD.

Never seen this, but sounds like a blind buy for me.
