Vinegar Syndrome has announced their Blu-ray releases for October and they are delivering four treats just in time for Halloween! On October 25th VS will be releasing Blu-ray/DVD combo packs for Hobgoblins, Deathrow Gameshow, Nightmare Sisters and a David DeCoteau double feature of Murder Weapon & Deadly Justice.

This lineup is, wow. I don’t know where to begin. Hobgoblins is probably what I’m most looking forward to, but how do you top three DeCoteau films all starring Linnea Quigley? We’re living in a golden age, folks. A real golden age.

HOBGOBLINS

Synopsis: 
Kevin just got hired to be the assistant night watchman at an old film vault. Warned to stay out of one mysterious chamber, the rookie guard can’t help but satisfy his curiosity and unwittingly unleashes a group of hobgoblins: furry aliens who grant people wishes only to kill them in the process. As the body count starts to rise, Kevin, with the help of his friends, decide to track down the deadly creatures before they wreak havoc on the city.
 
Director Rick Sloane’s cult classic and Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan favorite is a sleazy, low rent tribute to creature features and drive-in fare.
