Ninja Zombie is hitting the streets on October 9th! DVD only. A collaboration between Bleeding Skull! and AGFA.

Information blurb:

Quote:

Black vest. No shirt. No fear. NO RULES!! Young karate expert Jack is stabbed through the heart by the vile Spithrachne, a martial arts cultist with a spider drawn on his face. Luckily, local voodoo master/tennis enthusiast Brother Banjo revives Jack from the dead to seek revenge as NINJA ZOMBIE! Shot on Super 8 in Chicago and never released on any format, NINJA ZOMBIE is an unrelenting ruckus of supernatural threats and high-kicking vengeance. If you've ever wished for a mutant mix of THE TOXIC AVENGER, 1980s Marvel Comics, and a 12-year-old's unfiltered imagination, prepare to meet your new favorite movie.

NOTICE: NINJA ZOMBIE was shot and edited on Super 8 film. This transfer is taken from the original BETA-SP master tapes.

Features:

Godmonster looks so, so bad. Can’t wait to get my copy.

New promo trailer for LADY STREET FIGHTER!

Ed Wood's TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE (1970), coming November 13th:

Quote:

Ed Wood was the filmmaker behind PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, the author of hundreds of adult novels, and a pall-bearer at Bela Lugosi's funeral. Wood fought in the Pacific Ocean theater during World War II while wearing a bra and panties under his uniform. Basically, there will never be another hero like Ed Wood. And there will never be another movie like TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE. Unseen for almost fifty years, this is a surreal sexploitation detective comedy that would feel right at home on a triple-bill with John Waters's MULTIPLE MANIACS and Russ Meyer's THE IMMORAL MR. TEAS. With delirious narration by Wood himself, positive depictions of LGBTQ relationships, and a miraculous role by Ed Wood in drag as "Alecia," TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE is a joyous swan song from one of the most seminal exploitation filmmakers of all time.

Quote:

Special Features:
* New 2K preservation from the only 16mm theatrical print in existence!
* Commentary track with filmmaker Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE), Ed Wood biographer Rudolph Grey, and AGFA’s Joseph A. Ziemba!
* TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE: THE OUTTAKES, 70 minutes of unseen footage scanned in 2K!
* Exclusive liner notes by Ed Wood biographer Rudolph Grey!
* Bonus movie: THE LOVE FEAST (1969) starring Ed Wood, scanned in 2K from an original 35mm theatrical print!
* Reversible cover art!

Very excited for this! Any Ed Wood is an instant buy. Later period stuff is like gold to me.

A better title for Take It Out In Trade would be "Woman Descending a Flight of Stairs." That's what the film mostly consists of.

You're right, Ed really distilled the film to it's basic essentials in this flick. Pure cinema.

SpiderBaby · 07-28-2018, 01:03 AM

Lady Street Fighter is in stock already over at DiabolikDVD.

AGFA/SW has got some great covers. I love that paper bag title with the crayon/marker underlining, and how they include it on the logo too. I also like how they tailor the menu text to whatever the movie is. Pretty cool blu-ray label.

CrowKiller · 07-28-2018, 12:21 PM

Most of the movies they release are just plain awful. The movies, not the discs. Yet, still oddly collectable.

The Child is on my wish list - it's a spooky little low-budget gem, plenty of atmosphere, and while the makeup effects aren't completely convincing, they're still kinda nasty.

This has to come out on Blu. If not through AGFA, then maybe as part of Arrow's American Horror Project?

Drug Stories!, an 80-minute compilation of anti-drug scare films, is set to be released by AGFA on Blu-ray in 2019; this includes Florrie Fisher's notorious PSA The Trip Back.

bossman12340 · 08-28-2018, 01:47 AM

Sorry for the double post, but three more titles have been confirmed by AGFA:

Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore

I Was a Teenage Serial Killer

Blood Lake

All of these films will be released in 2019.

bigshot · 08-28-2018, 04:52 AM

I want a blu-ray of Bettie Page and Tempest Storm.

Mary Jane is a really good film. Looking forward that this one!

I've been wanting The Curious Dr. Humpp on blu-ray since this label first announced it. Hopefully that will be coming soon, as well as the Milligan double feature.

It does seem strange to me that they’ve gone so far away from the initially announced wave.

It's at a slower rate than expected, but the Something Weird films will all be released eventually.

Which Something Weird films? Didn't they release literally thousands of movies?

They mean AGFA releasing blu rays of stuff from the something weird catalogue.
