One of my favorites in the biz, Vinegar Syndrome, has announced their releases for August and they’re the type of movies that only Vinegar Syndrome seems to release. They’re rounding out Rudy Ray Moore’s 70’s features with The Disco Godfather and then delivering on what looks to be some weird alien-teen-sex-horror from the 80’s in a movie I’ve never heard of called Evils of the Night. Both releases will be available August 30th and in usual Vinegar Syndrome fashion they are loaded with bonus content. I think it’s safe to say you’re going to want to check these out. Full details below!

The Disco Godfather – 1979
Dir. J. Robert Wagoner

Synopsis:Rudy Ray Moore is The Disco Godfather, owner and MC at the baddest disco in town. But there’s a new evil in the community: Angel Dust. Determined to find and destroy the source of ‘the whack,’ The Disco Godfather becomes a one-man fighting machine from south central to Beverly Hills.
 
The last of Rudy Ray Moore’s 70s features, DISCO GODFATHER is easily the strangest and most original of his filmic output. Combining his trademark Kung-fu action with social commentary and hallucinogenic nightmare sequences which evoke the surreal weirdness of Coffin Joe, DISCO GODFATHER is an unforgettable cinematic finale from one of the greatest names in Blaxploitation film history.
 
Newly restored from its long lost 35mm original negative, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents DISCO GODFATHER on Blu-ray for the first time, packed with all new special features.

Evils of the Night – 1985
Dir. Mardi Rustam

Synopsis:It’s geriatric aliens vs. sex obsessed teens in Mardi Rustam’s outrageous EVILS OF THE NIGHT! Beautiful young women have been disappearing and no one can figure out how and where they go. But in the darkness, sinister forces are lurking: a group of aliens (John Carradine, Tina Louise, and Julie Newmar) have been draining the local youth of their blood so that they can live forever!
 
Filled with ample nudity, moments of splattery gore, and a supporting cast including Amber Lynn and Aldo Ray, EVILS OF THE NIGHT is quintessential mid 80s sleaze unlike anything else. Freshly restored in 2k from its original 35mm negative, Vinegar Syndrome brings EVILS OF THE NIGHT to Blu-ray for the first time.
