Ed Wood’s ‘The Violent Years’ is Out on Blu-ray Now!
Out today on Blu-ray is yet another entry from the partnership between AGFA and Something Weird. Following on the heels of The Zodiac Killer and Bat Pussy (yes, you read that title correctly), the two companies have come together to offer a brand-new 4K transfer for 1956’s The Violent Years.
The film comes from director William Morgan which is a name you likely haven’t heard of. Morgan directed 14 titles over his career but was mostly known as an editor where he worked on projects like Lassie and Dragnet. The real draw for The Violent Years is that it was written by the infamous Ed Wood and anytime you can get your hands on a new Ed Wood movie you must do it.
I’ve yet to see The Violent Years but it looks wonderful and if this trailer is any indication the 4K transfer is going to be a thing of beauty. Put this one on your Christmas list!
Order The Violent Years now from the MVD Shop.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
