Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers! Summer is in full swing and with it brings various distractions, including VACATION (all I ever wan-ted!). For that reason updates will be sporadic, or downright non-existent,for the next two weeks! But until I venture off to parts unknown, let's take a look at this week's mouthwatering lineup of new releases on DVD and Blu-ray!

Well Go USA brings MOJIN: THE WORM VALLEY to DVD & Blu-ray disc, the remake of PET SEMATARY comes to all formats by itself, and with the 1989 original, both HULK and WATERWORLD make their 4K UHD debuts,  and the entire series of GOTHAM makes its way to DVD & Blu-ray! Now on to the really good stuff!

Scream Factory dropped their Collector's Edition Blu of SILENT HILL, as well as the sci-fi classic THIS ISLAND EARTH, while Kino Lorber Studio Classics bombards us with five new titles, including: ALPHAVILLE, THE CHAMPAGNE MURDERS, DEAD OF NIGHT, THE ANNIHILATORS, and TUFF TURF!

Grindhouse Releasing just dropped their impressive Deluxe Collector's Edition of THE TOUGH ONES (complete with soundtrack CD!), and Mill Creek Entertainment really ups the ante with two new Andy Sidaris Blu-rays (PICASSO TRIGGER and SAVAGE BEACH) and a gorgeous Blu-ray steelbook of Toho's MOTHRA! And finally, Arrow Video brings up the rear this week with a new Special Edition of THE LOVELESS!

Mill Creek's New MOTHRA Steelbook Hatches on Blu-ray!

TOHO'S "MOTHRA" COMES TO BLU-RAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NORTH AMERICA IN COLLECTIBLE STEELBOOK PACKAGING!

I've patiently been waiting with bated breath for Criterion Collection to announce the Showa Godzilla films on Blu-ray, when out of nowhere, Mill Creek Entertainment unleashes an all new Blu of Mothra's feature film debut! Housed in a metal case and featuring some cool extras, this is definitely a must-own title for all you kaiju fans out there!

Synopsis: Following reports of human life on Infant Island, the supposedly deserted site of atomic bomb tests, an international expedition to the heavily-radiated island discovers a native tribe and tiny twin female fairies called "Shobijin" who guard a sacred egg. The overzealous expedition leader kidnaps the Shobijin to exhibit in a Tokyo stage show but soon they summon their protector, hatching the egg and releasing a giant caterpillar. When Mothra arrives in Japan and finally transforms into the ultimate beast, impervious to modern weapons, the nation and its people face their destruction.

A Bloody Jazz & Rock Rumble! - Classic "B-Movie" Soundtrack LPs are Coming in August!

MODERN HARMONIC AND SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO TO RELEASE "DATE BAIT" & "HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR" VINYLS!

With the revitalization of vinyl records, I guess it was only a matter of time before somebody dredged up some tunes from cautionary tales of teenage rebellion! On August 23rd, 2019, Modern Harmonic (teaming with Something Weird Video) is releasing the soundtracks to DATE BAIT and HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR! So if you're a fan of movies about the dangers of teenage angst, and you also happen to collect records, then these two highly collectible LPs will be right up your alley!

DATE BAIT (1960)

Soundtrack Info: Nicholas Carras’ powerhouse score for this angst-filled flick is a tapestry of sounds from fast, jazzy pieces, dark and suspenseful moments, breezy traveling music, and the optimistic ending. The soundtrack also features the earworm of a title cut that will have you pappa do do wah-ing along.

Details:

• First ever LP release of this rock & jazz soundtrack!  
• Includes a DVD of the entire film plus bonus goodies including a cut to sync with your LP!  
• Includes a zine style insert with liners and photos!  
• Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent audio and pressed at Third Man in Detroit!
• INCLUDES: "Date Bait Baby" by Reggie Perkins and a mad barrage of beatnik bongo jazz & rock from the Nicholas Carras Soundtrack Collection!

Film Synopsis: (From Wikipedia) Two confused teenagers are in love and want to get hitched, but their uptight parents say "no way!" The couple finds themselves on the sleazy side of town, where they are victimized by the new bride's hoodlum ex-boyfriend and his psychotic drug-addicted brother! The teens must also contend with other assorted criminals, including drug dealers and mobsters!

The DATE BAIT LP comes with everything seen here!

HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR (1960)

Soundtrack Info: The true star of HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR is its dark and tense compositions, and wild, bongo-driven percussion of the Nicholas Carras score! This soundtrack collects three rare, blistering rockers featured in the film, and delinquent lines of dialog from the harrowing tale along with the prime cuts of the score!

Details:

• First ever LP release of this rock & jazz soundtrack!  
• Includes a DVD of the entire film plus bonus goodies including a cut to sync with your LP!  
• Includes a zine style insert with liners and photos!  
• Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent audio and pressed at Third Man in Detroit! 
• INCLUDES: "High School Caesar" by Reggie Perkins,  "I Fell For Your Line Baby" by Johnny Faire, "Lookin' Waitin' Searchin' Hopin'" by Reggie Olson, and a mad barrage of beatnik bongo jazz & rock from the Nicholas Carras Soundtrack Collection!

Film Synopsis: (From IMDB) Matt Stevens is the big man at high school. He sweats the students for protection money, acquires copies of tests for a fee, and has rigged the votes so he can beat Kelly in the election for student president. Aside from his anointed acolytes, Matt is almost universally despised. His parents are obscenely rich and spend their time traveling in Europe rather than giving him the parental guidance he needs. Things begin to get ugly when some of the teens resist his power and show Matt up at a drag race.


As stated earlier, these two LPs from the glorious power triad of Modern Harmonic, Something Weird Video, and the Nicholas Carras estate, will be available on August 23rd! Both releases are priced at $24.98, and will be available through Modern Harmonic's website and Amazon.com! I think this is a really cool and unique idea, and here's hoping that these releases gather an audience so we get more b-movie records in the future! Speaking of which, also be on the lookout for LP/DVD releases for two more Something Weird oddities/obscurities, namely SPACE THING and MR. PETER'S PETS!

Ice-T is Haunted by CLINTON ROAD - Now in Select Theaters and Available on Demand!

NEW JERSEY'S LEGENDARY "CLINTON ROAD" CLAIMS VICTIMS IN THIS NEW SUPERNATURAL THRILLER!

Clinton Road has earned itself quite the reputation over the decades as a hotspot for paranormal occurrences, Satanic rituals, and multiple sightings of ghosts and strange creatures. (And as an added bonus, it's rumored to be a dumping ground for murder victims!) Though much of the legends surrounding this desolate stretch of road are the products of overactive imaginations, it's not surprising that it has inspired someone to shoot a film based upon this spooky locale!

Synopsis: When a firefighter's wife mysteriously goes missing on an actual haunted road in rural New Jersey, he and his sister in law seek closure by employing a Haitian witch doctor to contact her spirit but are hunted by the entities of past victims looking to leave purgatory by collecting fresh souls.

CLINTON ROAD was scripted by Derek Ross Mackay, directed by Steve Stanulis and Richard Grieco, and stars internationally acclaimed musician and actor Ice-T (NEW JACK CITY, Law & Order: SVU, BLOODRUNNERS), James DeBello (CABIN FEVER, DETROIT ROCK CITY), Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos, GOODFELLAS), and Erin O'Brien (PERNICIOUS, KILLING JOAN).

Ace Young (Bones), Katie Morrison (The Blacklist), Bo Dietl (Vinyl), and Oscar Nominee Eric Roberts also star. Grieco, Noel Ashman and Steve Stanulis produce.

CLINTON ROAD is currently playing in select theaters (visit Fandango to see if it's playing near you!) and available on various Video On Demand services (including Amazon Instant Video). A DVD release in the near future is likely, but has yet to be announced! For more details, visit the official CLINTON ROAD Facebook page!
