'Memorial Valley Massacre'

We’re always excited to see what obscure oddities Vinegar Syndrome has been hard at work unearthing and polishing up for release, and they’ve just announced their roster of titles for September 2020. The lineup includes four brand new releases: 1989’s Grave Robbers, 1988’s Memorial Valley Massacre, 1987’s Zombie 5: Killing Birds and 1988’s Spellcaster.

The September newsletter provides all the details…

Ruben Galindo Jr’s ultra gory, brain busting satanic slasher, GRAVE ROBBERS (LADRONES DE TUMBAS) will be making its worldwide Blu-ray debut, in a new 4K restoration of its camera negative! (Before anyone asks, yes, we know we already released a movie called Grave Robbers. This is a different one.)

Next, as we venture deeper into the MGM vaults, Robert Hughes’ killer-caveman slasher, MEMORIAL VALLEY MASSACRE will be making its official disc debut, from a new 4K restoration of its camera negative!

And rounding out the month, Caludio Lattanzi’s disorienting gore-fest, KILLING BIRDS (or, if you prefer, ZOMBIE 5) will be making its worldwide Blu-ray debut, newly restored from its original negative!

But that’s not all! The first of our four new fall VSA titles is now up for pre-order. It’s Rafal Zeilinski’s wacky, Charles Band/Empire Pictures produced SPELLCASTER! Yearly & Halfway subscribers: the coupon code for this VSA release is listed on the product page.

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.
