Massacre Video Restoring ‘Nightmares in a Damaged Brain’ for Upcoming Blu-ray
Last week, Meagan Navarro profiled Romano Scavolini’s Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (aka Nightmare) as part of her weekly Butcher Block series, and wouldn’t ya know it, we’ve just learned this week that Massacre Video is currently working on a restoration for an upcoming Blu-ray release of the infamous “Video Nasty”!
The company teased on Facebook…
“BRAND NEW 2K scan/restoration with exclusive color correction sourced from a recently discovered internegative plus a few other surprises that will be sure to cause a damaged brain. Coming sooner than you think, promise.”
The Blu-ray will be part of Massacre Video’s Limited Edition series, notes Cinema Arcana. They add, “Previous disc releases have utilized a worn 35mm release print or an uncorrected answer print, but thanks to some hard work and determination, an original internegative has recently been uncovered, and Massacre are using this preferable element as the source for their 2K restoration. This should easily be the best NIGHTMARE has ever looked.”
Cinema Arcana continues, “While extras are currently being worked on, one supplement guaranteed to tempt even those who don’t generally double-dip is the inclusion of Scavolini’s directorial follow-up, the gritty ‘Namsploitation outing DOG TAGS (1987)! Unreleased on disc previously and never officially issued on home video in the U.S.”
In the 1981 film, a mental patient embarks on a murder spree upon escaping from an institution.
One of my personal favorite horror movies of all time, 1987’s gateway horror classic The Gate is opening back up on May 14 with a brand new Blu-ray SteelBook release from Lionsgate!

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.
