STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 01/30/2018!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Welcome to the last STOCK YOUR VAULT post of January 2018! This has been a relatively good month for Cult, Horror, and Exploitation releases overall, though sadly (or perhaps thankfully) there isn't much to to look forward to this week.

Lionsgate's Vestron Video Collector's Series adds CLASS OF 1999 and GOTHIC to their impressive catalog, Scream Factory's awesome new Blu-ray of THE PROJECTED MAN is now available, and Arrow Video's Special Edition of THE HILLS HAVE EYES has dropped. If you're a fan of that particular film, you have no choice but to upgrade immediately!

Also out today are a regular edition of HACK-O-LANTERN from Massacre Video, BOO 2! A MADEA HALLOWEEN (for you Tyler Perry fans), plus a bunch of classic (i.e. mostly public domain) Cult, Horror, and Sci-Fi titles on DVD from Frolic Pictures.

The Vestron Video Collector's Series Adds GOTHIC AND CLASS OF 1999 to its Catalog on January 30th!

MARY SHELLEY GETS HIGH, AND KILLER CYBORGS MASQUERADE AS TEACHERS IN LIONSGATE'S NEWEST VESTRON TITLES!

I've been really happy with the Vestron Video Blu-ray label since they kicked things off with BLOOD DINER and CHOPPING MALL. Their latest additions are definitely making me nostalgic: I've never seen GOTHIC, but its cover sure brings back some memories of my neighborhood's old mom & pop video store.

However, I have seen CLASS OF 1999 several times. This bizarre followup to CLASS OF 1984 is cheesy in all the right ways and has an awesome end credits song (Come the Day by Midge Ure)! Though the price of these releases typically scares me away, I do look forward to adding these titles to my growing collection.

GOTHIC Synopsis: 1816. A sprawling villa in Switzerland is the setting for the night of the “Haunted Summer,” when five famous friends gather around an ancient skull to conjure up their darkest fears. Poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley; Shelley’s fiancée, Mary Godwin; Mary’s stepsister, Claire Clairmont; and Byron’s friend, Dr. John Polidori, spend a hallucinogenic evening confronting their fears in an orgiastic frenzy of shock lunacy that later inspired Mary Shelley to write the classic FRANKENSTEIN and Dr. Polidori to pen THE VAMPYRE, which became the basis for the creation of DRACULA. One fateful evening, two legends were born, in Ken Russell’s GOTHIC.

Not Doctor Who, but an incredible simulation.

CLASS OF 1999 Synopsis: The time is the future, and youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become “free fire zones” into which not even the police will venture.

When Miles Langford (Malcolm McDowell), the principal of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest (Stacy Keach) provides “tactical education units.”

These human-like androids have been programmed to teach and are supplied with weapons to handle discipline problems. These kids will get a lesson in staying alive!
