Quote:

This special limited edition rigid slipcase & slipcover set (designed by Tom Hodge & Earl Kess) is limited to 6,000 units and is only available here at VinegarSyndrome.com!

An assortment of unruly and misfit teens have all been forced to attend camp at a wildlife preserve, to commune with nature. What they don't realize is that nearby in the woods, an illicit marijuana growing operation is underway and the weed farmers have been using a pesticide which has had one very unintended side effect: turning ordinary ticks into giant, ravenous bloodsuckers...

One of the quintessential creature features of the early 90s, Tony Randel's (Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Amityville: It's About Time) TICKS pays loving tribute to 1950s giant monster movies, updating the formula by adding copious amounts of slime and heavily increased bloodshed. Starring Seth Green (Austin Powers), Alfonso Ribeiro (TV's Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Rosalind Allen (TV's Seinfeld) and a very memorable appearance from Clint Howard (Ice Cream Man), Vinegar Syndrome brings TICKS to 4K UHD for the very first time in a never-before-seen extended version, featuring comprehensive interviews and commentaries with the film's key creators including producer Brian Yuzna (Society) and TICKS creator and effects supervisor, Doug Beswick (Aliens, The Terminator).

“I’m infested!!!!” I love Ticks so much so glad vinegar syndrome is doing a 4K of this! What a time to be alive

I think I saw this movie once, but I'm buying it even so. The more 70's/80's/90's stuff that VS is willing to put in my hands, the better, cause these are things you can pretty much only see on streaming, with ancient DVD-era masters.

Ben_C · 10-01-2021, 03:04 PM

Probably won’t buy it, but that’s definitely Carlton dance gif worthy news.

batman2000 · 10-01-2021, 04:57 PM

I’m disappointed it never got a sequel considering it had bait at the end same goes for the blob remake.

dlbsyst · 10-01-2021, 05:22 PM

Great news! I love this movie.

dlbsyst · 10-01-2021, 05:29 PM

Just pre-ordered one

brettgallman · 10-01-2021, 06:13 PM

When I first saw the announcement for this, I assumed it was a regular Blu-ray release. Even though I have the old Olive Blu, I was going to buy this because I must sanction the buffoonery of anyone releasing Ticks. The fact that it's on 4K makes a day one purchase because never in my life could I have imagined owning Ticks on 4k.

sfmarine · 10-01-2021, 11:40 PM

Did not see this one coming. Excellent news!

critterdvd · 10-01-2021, 11:42 PM

Holey actual what the bloody f*ck!?!? So excited!

Now I need to sell my olive copy.

Oh my god never in a million years did I expect this one. Cheezus Crust!!

A new challenger appears! No questions asked, easy pickup.

SpaceBlackKnight · 10-02-2021, 04:44 AM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKK YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured VinSyn picked this up given their connections with Filmrise, but I didn't think they'd go the 4k UHD treatment too!

Day one, no questions asked!

This is just basically what happens when you go walking in the Scottish countryside.

first time in a never-before-seen extended version

I didn't notice right away.

Socko · 10-02-2021, 08:39 AM

Yeah it seems 4 minutes were cut out right before the release of the movie

from IMDB:

Quote:

Four minutes of footage were shot and completed, but were removed from the film before final release. This footage has never been seen in any release.

unberechenbar · 10-02-2021, 08:45 AM

This looks like a pretty crazy movie. Ticks are already so scary in real life.

nekromantik · 10-02-2021, 11:32 AM

6k units of this slipcase while summer of 84 got 3k
this might still be in stock come BF sale

KenHurd · 10-02-2021, 11:58 AM

I never imagined Ticks would get a 4K release! I didn't even imagine that it would ever get put back in print after Olive's Blu-ray went OOP. I remember watching this many times when it came on TV in the 90s, and I've always loved it. This is an instant pre-order for me.
