Spend ONE DARK NIGHT with Meg Tilly in Code Red's Newest Release!


CODE RED 
GIVES TOM MCLOUGHLIN'S "ONE DARK NIGHT" A WHOLE LOT OF LOVIN' IN THEIR NEW SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY!

While I am familiar with Tom McLoughlin, I must admit that anything past FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI and his band The Sloths is unknown territory for yours truly. So I'm very curious about Tom's ONE DARK NIGHT, especially since Code Red put so much effort into this release! Along with a new transfer and reversible cover art, they packed this Special Edition with tons of extras!

Synopsis: A world famous psychic is found dead along with several victims of his bizarre experiments. One the same day his body is interred in a mausoleum, high-schooler Julie Wells (Meg Tilly, PYSCHO II, THE BIG CHILL, BODY SNATCHERS) agrees to spend the night there all alone  as part of a hazing to join the clique, "The Sisters" (Robin Evans, E.G. Daily, Leslie Speights). Later that night, the sisters secretly return to torment Julie in an attempt to scare her out of her mind. But the girls are not alone.

The psychic s experiments continue even after death - on his own body and on the dozen resident corpses in various stages of decay. Soon they're exhumed and looking for fresh bodies! ONE DARK NIGHT haunts audiences' psyches with its claustrophobic setting, moody cinematography, foreboding score and ultra-realistic makeup effects. Tom McLoughlin (DATE WITH AN ANGEL, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES) directed this terrifying chiller which co-stars the great Adam West (Batman, Family Guy).

Sometimes They Come Back: 60s band "The Sloths" are "Back from the Grave!"


I got this cool tip a little while ago from B.C. BUTCHER director Kansas Bowling, and thought I'd share with you my faithful Vault Dwellers! Recently a garage band from the 60s called "The Sloths" has gotten back together.

Though two of the original members have passed, they're vacant spots have been filled, and now this long forgotten band has cut a new album, and is currently on tour!

So why is this newsworthy you may be wondering? Because lead vocalist Tom McLoughlin, wrote and directed FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES! (He also directed ONE DARK NIGHT, DATE WITH AN ANGEL, and STEPHEN KING'S SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK!) It's cool enough that a group of old friends have reunited to take a second crack at being musicians, but it's even cooler knowing that they're fronted by the guy who reinvigorated the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise!

I've sampled a few tracks from "The Sloths" and I kind of dig 'em. Feel free to check out their new album (Back From the Grave) below, as well as their cool music video for their song, "One Way Out!"
