Egads! Between late hours at the day job, almost weekly doctor appointments (I can't believe I'll be holding a miniature version of myself in my arms in about two months), and a recent mental health weekend, I haven't had much time or energy to devote to The Vault. So here I am playing catch-up yet again with a double dose of STOCK YOUR VAULT action!
06/30/2020
On the final day of June 2020 there wasn't a whole lot to get excited for: Kino Lorber flooded retailers with multiple new titles on Blu-ray, including
TEN LITTLE INDIANS,
NOT FOR PUBLICATION,
NARROW MARGIN, WILD PALMS, and
SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN BEVERLY HILLS, while our pals at Vinegar Syndrome delivered Blu-ray releases of
THE IMMORTALIZER and
PATTY HEARST.
MVD's Marquee Collection boasted a new Collector's Edition Blu-ray release of
SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO, Shudder's
TERRIFIER made its Blu-ray debut, and Frolic Features dumped a bunch of double-feature DVD sets (listed in their own section below)! For obvious reasons (mainly out of my love for the recently deceased Ennio Morricone) Scream Factory's Blu-ray of
ORCA: THE KILLER WHALE was my pick of the week!
To see the full list of June 30th's roster of DVDs & Blu-rays (plus THIS week's far better list of new releases), be sure to scroll on down!
