MY DEMON LOVER Will Bring Out the Beast in You on September 5th!

Cover art for Scream Factory's Blu-ray of MY DEMON LOVER!

FANS OF CHARLIE LOVENTHAL'S SUPERNATURAL ROMANTIC COMEDY REJOICE - MY DEMON LOVER IS FINALLY COMING TO BLU-RAY!

Back in 2018, I showcased MY DEMON LOVER in the News Vault's WANTED ON BLU-RAY column where I pined for a high-def release of this oft-forgotten gem. So imagine my surprise earlier this year when Scream Factory announced that they were giving the film a new lease on life! With MY DEMON LOVER's Blu-ray debut just around the corner, let's take a closer look at this new disc and see if Scream Factory managed to fulfill some of the items on my wishlist!

Synopsis: True love has many faces — and sometimes claws and a tail — in the frightfully funny romance MY DEMON LOVER! The happy-go-lucky but lonely Kaz (Scott Valentine, Family Ties) is looking for love when he meets Denny (Michele Little, APOLLO 13), a kindhearted young woman with an uncanny ability to attract stray pets and down-and-out boyfriends. Denny is sure she's met the man of her dreams when she sweeps Kaz off the streets and into her heart. But it's anything but a match made in heaven when she discovers that Kaz is afflicted by a curse that turns him into a horny monster — literally — whenever he's turned on! Will Denny be able to bring out the best, and not the beast, in her newfound paranormal paramour?!


Disc Specs:
Rated PG-13 | Color | 90 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono

  • NEW! Rune Tunes: Scoring My Demon Lover – Interview With Composer David Newman!

While there isn't a feature-length director's commentary or the music video for Intimate Strangers' "Let's Go," Scream Factory's release for MY DEMON LOVER is still a solid one that knocks a lot of items from my WANTED ON BLU-RAY wishlist! This disc will be available on Tuesday, September 5th wherever Blu-rays are sold and should cost between $23 - $27! You can order your copy now from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY's online shop!

THE BONEYARD is Coming to DVD & Blu-ray from Code Red DVD!


DEMONIC GHOULS AND A MUTANT POODLE LURK WITHIN  JAMES CUMMINS' "THE BONEYARD!" AVAILABLE APRIL 24TH!

I recall reading a short one-paragraph review of THE BONEYARD in a movie guide from the 90s, but never managed to track a copy down. In fact,  until recently I had forgotten this odd gem existed. Now, thanks to Code Red DVD, I can scope out this quirky classic in high-definition!

Synopsis: A policeman (Ed Nelson) and a psychic (Deborah Rose) link cult mayhem to a morgue (run by Norman Fell) where ancient ghouls are on the loose! The film plunges into the nightmarish experiences of a portly, depressed psychic Alley Oates (Rose), whose involvement in a grisly child-murder case leads her and her detective partner Shepard (Nelson) to an imposing, fortress-like mortuary. Chen, the owner of the funeral home and prime suspect in the case, claims the three mummified corpses in question are not children but ancient demons known as Kyoshi.

It seems the little monsters have been around for centuries as a result of an age-old curse and can only be placated with offerings of human flesh with which the mortician has been supplying them his entire life. When Chen is jailed on murder charges, the under-fed ghouls awaken in search of dinner, trapping the staff inside the mortuary walls and devouring them. The survivors, including Rose and Nelson, use every means at their disposal to combat the demons, which have possessed the bodies of morgue attendant Mrs. Poopinplatz (Phyllis Diller) and her poodle, mutating them into hideous monsters.

Phyllis Diller's terrifying true form revealed!

Disc Specs:
Rated R | Color | 98 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - LPCM Stereo

Extras:
  • NEW! HD Restoration from the Original Negative, with extensive color correction exclusive to this Code Red release!
  • Audio Commentary with Director James Cummins and Producer Richard F. Brophy.
  • Interviews With Actress Phyllis Diller, Director James Cummins, and Producer Richard F. Brophy. 
  • NEW! Exclusive interview with Producer Phil Smoot and Crew Members From North Carolina!
  • Reversible Sleeve with Alternate Artwork!

THE BONEYARD is due out on Tuesday, April 24th on Blu-ray and DVD from Code Red DVD! The DVD costs about $14 (and I assume has the same extras as the Blu-ray release), while the Blu-ray disc costs between $17 - $20! You can order a copy now from AMAZON, BULLMOOSE, or DIABOLIK DVD!
