Just a reminder that the delayed Humongous is finally released tomorrow. Do post your comments on this title.

Based one early viewing (skipping through the chapters), the print quality of The Carpenter (1988) looks very decent.

Updated post #217 on this page, moving list of Katarina's Nightmare Theater titles left over, to this post (The Survivor isn't included in the list as that is now being released in April).

The Katarina's Nightmare Theater titles left over:


American Nightmare (1983)
The Day After Halloween (aka Snapshot) (1979)
The Fantasist (1989)
Human Experiments (1980)
The Incubus (1982)
Satan's Slave (1976).

Regarding the Coming Soon pages in the Katarina's Nightmare Theater section on Scorpion Releasing's website, the list of extras on the DVD Features list, for some of the titles in the list above, have been removed (The Day After Halloween, The Fantasist, and Human Experiments). The Incubus didn't have a list of DVD extras before anyway, but American Nightmare has had an additional DVD extra added to it's DVD Features list (Kat's Eyes interview with Paul Lynch).

I was doing some random digging on imdb and clicked on a company called Camelot Entertainment, who, as I found out, are the rights holders to HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. I also discovered that they currently own ONE DARK NIGHT, two William Girdler nature-run-amok films GRIZZLY and DAY OF THE ANIMALS and a slew of other great 80's horror/sci-fi flicks. I don't know who these people are - I was under the impression these were old Film Ventures titles, some which were released on video by Vestron - but I hope some of the films in that catalog make it to DVD. Scorpion is releasing THE INCUBUS, while Media Blasters did Grizzly and a couple of others, so that's a good sign. The one title I'm most interested in out of the Camelot library is WITHOUT WARNING mainly because it hasn't gotten a legit release in Region 1. My hope is that Scorpion has licensed a good chunk of those titles and plans to put 'em out soon.

Have checked Camelot Entertainment's library on their website, and The House on Sorority Row and The Incubus aside (the former was released this week, and the latter is on the way) would like to see the following titles released by Scorpion:



Cardiac Arrest (1980)
Hit and Run (1983)
A Man for Hanging (1973) - TV movie which was distributed theatrically in Canada
Offerings (1989) - has been released in the UK on DVD, but am not sure what the picture/print quality is like
One Dark Night (1983).


*****

Who currently owns the Citadel Films library? Some interesting titles on their IMDb distributor filmography page:




Hospital Massacre (1982)
Mortuary (1983)
Scream... and Die! (aka The House That Vanished (1974).

According to DVD Aficionado it's supposed to come out on 5/15!
