STOCK YOUR VAULT: New DVDs & Blu-rays for 11/12/2019!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers! We're almost halfway through November and about to hit the final motherload of new Blu-ray, 4K, and DVD releases for 2019! This week in particular has quite a few must-haves for your growing collections.

Both seasons of YouTube's COBRA KAI web-series arrived on DVD today (even though they allegedly were never getting a release on physical media), Troma's RETURN TO.... RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH (AKA VOLUME 2) just hit Blu-ray, as did FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC from our friends at Arrow Video!

Kino Lorber flooded retailers with new titles today, which include RETURN TO MACON COUNTY, CHARLEY VARRICK, THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT, WINTER KILLS, and STREET PEOPLE, Darkside Releasing released THE ATTIC and DANGER GOD to Blu-ray, Mondo Macabro brings EMANUELLE IN AMERICA to HD, and Severin Films delivers a cool Blu-ray/CD combo of WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY!

Shout! Factory released a new Limited Edition Steelbook of POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING, Shout Select brings the Eddie Murphy NUTTY PROFESSOR films together in a new collection (wait, how do two films warrant a "collection?"), and sister label Scream Factory wins the week with an extras-packed release for Richard Franklin's ROAD GAMES! This one comes with a ton of special features, new cover art (which is reversible I believe), and likely boasts the same 4K remastered transfer from the film's Aussie Blu-ray release!

There are plenty of other titles out this week on DVD and Blu-ray (including lots of indie titles and anime!) so be sure to keep scrolling to see the entire list!

It's Time to RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH Again With Troma's Latest Film!

THERE WILL BE MUCH RETURNING IN THIS INSANE FOLLOWUP TO LLOYD KAUFMAN'S "RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH VOLUME 1!"

I've always been a supporter of independent film, and I grew up on a steady diet of Troma flicks thanks to USA UP All Night! (Toxie, and Kabukiman, and Surf Nazis! Oh my!) But I admit that I haven't really paid Lloyd Kaufman and friends much mind since CITIZEN TOXIE and POULTRYGEIST. I guess a small part of it is that I grew up a bit and lost interest, but mostly it's because there's just too much competition out there these days. With so many indie filmmakers and distributors flooding the market week after week, trying as hard as they can to get their movies out to as many people as possible, it's getting harder to keep track!

That being said, the RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH flicks look absolutely insane! Boobs, monsters, crazy characters, gallons of slime and bodily fluids, celebrity cameos - this pair of films has everything you could possibly want from a Troma production. And now, after seven years, the RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH saga is complete with the release of VOLUME 2!

Synopsis: Welcome BACK to Tromaville High School! The once tone-deaf Glee Club has now turned into a vicious gang of Cretins, wreaking havoc upon Tromaville and two innocent lesbian lovers, Crissy and Lauren. As Lauren suffers the side-effects of a Cretin forced "duck rape," Chrissy follows a trail of tainted toxic taco crumbs, leading her to the crux of all Tromaville High School's mutating mires: The evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate and its salacious CEO, Lee Harvey Herzkauf!

With a duck/human hybrid baby in one hand and a laser in the other, the lesbian duo fights against Cretins, Monsters, and EVIL! Will they succeed or will Herzkauf and the Cretins reign supreme over Tromaville High School and the World!?

The Uncut Version of WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY is Now Available on Blu-ray!

SEVERIN FILMS JUST RELEASED A NEW BLU-RAY/CD COMBO OF PAOLO HEUSCH'S 1961 HORROR-MYSTERY!

I gotta say, Severin Films has been knocking it out of the park in recent years, with fantastic releases of WAX MASK, KILLER CROCODILE, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, THE CHANGELING, THE BLOOD ISLAND COLLECTION, and MORE! And now they've added the Italian/Australian co-production of WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY to their growing catalog of exploitation cinema! The film is featured uncut with a new 2K restoration, several new special features, and a bonus CD containing the film's soundtrack! If that sounds absolutely mouth-watering to you, then continue reading for the full details of Severin's latest Blu-ray release!

Synopsis: Twisted Italian horror meets lurid German krimi in the 1961 EuroShocker filled with "genuinely eerie scenes and rather graphic maulings" (DVD Drive-In), now restored like you've never seen or heard it before! When an all-girl reform school is rocked by a series of grisly murders, it will unleash a nightmare of sexual corruption and lupine depravity.

Carl Schell (THE BLUE MAX), Barbara Lass (aka Roman Polanski's first wife Barbara Kwiatkowska), and Luciano Pigozzi (CASTLE OF THE LIVING DEAD) star in this infamous Italian/Austrian co-production – originally titled LYCANTHROPUS – directed by Paolo Heusch (THE DAY THE SKY EXPLODED) from a screenplay by giallo maestro Ernesto Gastaldi (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) with a classic score by Armando Trovajoli (STRANGE SHADOWS IN AN EMPTY ROOM), newly scanned in 2k from archival elements recently discovered in a Rome lab vault!

EMANUELLE IN AMERICA Arrives on Blu-ray on November 12th, Totally Uncut and Remastered in 4K!

MONDO MACABRO BRINGS JOE D'AMATO'S SLEAZY EXPLOITATION CLASSIC TO BLU-RAY DISC!

Originally only available on DVD from Blue Underground, EMANUELLE IN AMERICA finally arrives on Blu-ray disc, courtesy of Mondo Macabro. The film is fully uncut, and has been given a new 4K remaster! Admittedly, this isn't anything I'd personally add to my collection, mostly because it's a Joe D'Amato film (but also because horse-jacking and fake snuff films aren't my bag) but if you're a Laura Gemser fan, you'll definitely want to pick up this release of EMANUELLE IN AMERICA!

Synopsis: Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) is a fearless photo journalist and fashion photographer who travels the world in search of the exotic, the erotic and the downright deadly. Never averse to shedding her clothes in pursuit of a good story, Emanuelle arrives in America with a mission to expose the sizzling inner secrets of the jet set at play.

Armed with her striking feature, unique sensual talents - and a hidden camera - she's off… examining life as a love slave at a ranch run by a sadistic brothel master, investigating a bizarre spa for super rich sexually frustrated women, exploring the kinky side of a straight laced Republican politician, and finally uncovering shocking evidence of an international snuff film conspiracy.

Now for the first time ever on Blu-ray, this notorious and truly shocking film can be seen in all its high definition glory, totally uncut. Infamous director Joe d'Amato pulls out all the stops in this epic of sleaze and depravity. It's Emanuelle… but as you've never seen her before!

Disc Specs:
Not Rated | Color | 100 minutes | Region Free
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio - English & Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0

Extras:

• NEW! 4K REMASTER FROM THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE!

• Interview with writer David Flint.

• Newly created English subtitles
• Mondo Macabro Previews

Mondo Macabro's Blu-ray of EMANUELLE IN AMERICA is due out on Tuesday, November 12th and should be available wherever Blu-ray discs are sold! This disc will cost between $18 - $20, and can be obtained from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from MONDO MACABRO's online store!

On November 12th, Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis Play ROAD GAMES With a Real Lady-Killer!

SCREAM FACTORY GIVES RICHARD FRANKLIN'S CLASSIC THRILLER ITS NORTH AMERICAN BLU-RAY DEBUT, FULLY LOADED WITH EXTRAS!

ROAD GAMES is a title that's been on my radar for some time now. Directed by the late Richard Franklin (PATRICK, LINK, PSYCHO II), the film stars Stacy Keach (THE NINTH CONFIGURATION, CLASS OF 1999, MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) and Jamie Lee Curtis (who was at the tail end of her early "scream queen" days) who both end up playing a game of cat and mouse with a psychotic killer!

Though it is already available on Region Free Blu-ray from Umbrella Entertainment, the Scream Factory release of ROAD GAMES (which likely uses the same 4K remaster) has way more special features! When I finally add this to my collection, I'm definitely going with the Scream Factory disc!

Synopsis: Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a lone trucker who plays games to keep his sanity on long hauls through the desolate Australian Outback. Jamie Lee Curtis is a free-spirited hitchhiker looking for excitement with a game of her own. And somewhere up ahead is a maniac in a van whose game may be butchering young women along the highway. But when the killer decides to raise the stakes, Quid's game becomes personal ... and the rules of this road are about to take some very deadly turns.

Director Richard Franklin packs plenty of Hitchcock-like twists and suspense into this sly shocker that was nominated for four Australian Film Institute Awards and remains one of the most surprising thrillers of the '80s.

Disc Specs:
Rated PG | Color | 101 minutes | Region A
Video - 1080p Widescreen (2.35:1)
Audio - English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono

Extras:

• NEW! Australian Long Haul – An Interview With Actor Stacy Keach!

As you can see, Scream Factory's upcoming Collector's Edition Blu-ray of ROAD GAMES is absolutely packed with cool extras, both new and old! That alone is entirely worth this disc's current cost, which should be between $24 - $29! Get yourself a copy of ROAD GAMES today from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY, which will net you an exclusive 18 x 24 poster (while supplies last)!
