... 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!

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.

Is this worth a blind buy?

Only if you're a die hard slasher fan. Then again, you should've seen the film by now if you are a slasher fan. It's one of the less obscure titles of the genre.

From someone that's never seen this but appreciates 80's horror is this worth picking up?

Yes. Solid mid-teir slasher

Watched my VS copy on the weekend and was very pleased with the results, but because I'm a confessed "special features slut", will probably double dip and get the 88 release for the doc!

rillog · 09-24-2014, 04:56 PM

This altered artwork with the red spine, red lines and simplified plain white title typeface looks so cheap. Why didn't they just stick to the original cover art that was shown on most sites?

StalkNSlash · 12-31-2014, 06:27 PM

Which release has the better picture and sound quality?
88Films or Vinegar Syndrome.
