THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING Sprouts Up on Blu-ray on May 15th!

THE FUN AND CAMPY SEQUEL TO WES CRAVEN'S "SWAMP THING" DEBUTS ON BLU-RAY AS PART OF THE MVD REWIND COLLECTION!

THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING is one of my all-time favorite sequels! Heck, I'd even go as far to say that it is one of my favorite films! I have fond memories of renting this on VHS from the long extinct video store that was near my house, and watching it over and over again! And now that THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING has received (what appears to be) a definitive Blu-ray release, I couldn't be happier!

Synopsis: After her mother's mysterious death, Abigail Arcane (Heather Locklear) travels to the Florida swamps to confront her resurrected evil stepfather Dr. Anton Arcane (Louis Jourdan). In an attempt to stave off the effects of aging, Dr. Arcane, assisted by Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas), combines genes from various swamp animals and human beings, creating an army of monsters known as Un-Men.

When Abby arrives, Dr. Arcane is hell-bent on taking his own stepdaughter's life in the name of science... that is until she is rescued by SWAMP THING in this must-see sequel to the original cult classic and based on the award-winning DC Comics series!

From Melniker and Michael E. Uslan, the executive producers of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, and legendary cult film director Jim Wynorski (CHOPPING MALL, NOT OF THIS EARTH, SHARKANSAS WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE), THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING features an all-star cast that includes Heather Locklear (Melrose Place, UPTOWN GIRLS), Louis Jordan (SWAMP THING, OCTOPUSSY), Sarah Douglas (SUPERMAN II, CONAN THE DESTROYER) and Dick Durock (RAW DEAL, STAND BY ME) returning as the SWAMP THING.

Full Specs & Extras for Scream Factory's SHARKANSAS WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE Blu-ray!

JIM WYNORSKI'S "SHARKANSAS WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE" CHOMPS ITS WAY TO BLU-RAY ON MAY 3RD!

Jim Wynorski, the king of b-movie sequels (RETURN OF SWAMP THING, 976-EVIL 2, GHOULIES IV, SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 2, et al.), does some genre-mashing in his latest film. If you ever thought that women in prison films were sorely lacking finned aquatic predators, then this movie is for you!

Film Synopsis: When a fracking mishap accidentally rips apart the earth's crust, the resulting hole opens up a gaping underground waterway leading to a vast and mysterious subterranean ocean somewhere deep below.

Instantly, giant prehistoric sharks begin wending their way upward toward a murky bog in the heart of the Arkansas bayou. Unfortunately for a group of female prisoners on a work detail in the swamp, the deadly sharks attack without warning – pinning a hapless group of potential victims in a small deserted cabin in the heart of the wetlands. For these wayward women, death may be the only means of escape!

Get ready for a wild ride when Dominque Swain (SKIN TRAFFIK, ALPHA DOG) and Traci Lords (CRY BABY, NOT OF THIS EARTH) come face to face with the deadliest prehistoric man-eaters nature has ever spawned. Directed by cult filmmaker Jim Wynorski (CHOPPING MALL, THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING), this high-camp, creature-feature also stars Cindy Lucas (AMERICA PIE PRESENTS: THE BOOK OF LOVE), Christine Nguyen (GET HIM TO THE GREEK), Corey Landis (CHRYSALIS), John Callahan (FALCON CREST) and Amy Holt (DINOCROC VS. SUPERGATOR).

Disc Specs:
Color | Not Rated | 83 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1)
Audio -  Dolby Digital 5.1

Extras:

•  Audio Commentary With Director Jim Wynorski and actresses Cindy Lucas and Amy Holt.
