... We have done some major upgrades equipment wise (read: Arriscan film scanner), and for next year you can expect a good amount of 4k scanning and restorations!

... Alright, so many of you would like to know about some upcoming releases for 2014, so here we go (release dates TBD):

- GRADUATION DAY: Another definite 4k restoration, probably releasing around Halloween...

Surprisingly I have never seen Graduation Day, I have always heard mixed things about it.

This is awesome news. They recently posted some poster artwork on another forum of a bunch of 80's horror films, including THE PREY. Makes me wonder if this will be one of their upcoming releases. But, yeah, Graduation Day is killer. Halloween feels even longer away.

Christopher George is the only actor I recognize from other movies. I completely forgot about Vanna White being in this movie!

[redrunner97]

Vanna White looks unrecognizable to me in this movie. I play a game every time I watch it, and I try to figure out which girl is her. I know she's one of the pair of girls that run around, but couldn't tell them apart. lol.

Patch McKenzie and Linda Shayne (from Screwballs!)

plus the Scream Queen herself LINNEA QUIGLEY (making this a classic, most definitley)

Well, this was surprise. I had no idea Vinegar made a deal with Troma.

They announced it awhile back on facebook.

Everyone's also surprised about their releasing Last House on Dead End Street, even though that was their very first title announced at the end of 2012. But they are apparently working hard to properly restore it.

So, it's a no brainer to have filmmakers/actors involved.

They also mentioned it will feature a Hysteria Continues commentary track.

AWESOME! I love the Hysteria Continues. Really enjoyed the commentary they did on the unreleased Savage Water DVD I have. They just had so much fun lovingly poking holes in it. Made actually consider watching the film again.

Mehhh. Not exactly one of the better 80s slashers. I saw it back in the 80s, and was not wowed. Look up the trailer, it's pretty good, you basically see most of the kills in it. One of the victims looks like Natalie Dormer!!

[redrunner97]

Its one of my Top Favorite 80s Slashers. Its just so damn enjoyable.

Final Exam and Graduation Day are easily my favorites, both are getting released this year. I couldn't be more excited!

Lucky. They sent me the screener, but it had the other movie instead.

Yeah it was an incentive in the crowd funding for the Indiegogo campaign for The Night Before Easter low budget slasher. It's made by a couple of the guys from Hysteria Continues. Seeing as Vinegar Syndrome couldn't sell the discs they donated them.

The blu-ray's special features are currently in production btw!!

I wonder which films VinSyn got from Troma? I noticed a post earlier from them said "As with all the Troma films were doing" implying that they have more. Hopefully they get some classic troma cheese and maybe the earlier sexploitation films they did before Toxie

[redrunner97]

I know of:

Graduation Day
Sugar Cookies
Lust For Freedom
Cry Wilderness
In Search Of Bigfoot
(I believe these last two are troma?)

There may be more. But those are the ones I know of.

I think Cry Wilderness or In Search of Bigfoot were separate acquisitions, though.
