Published

If you’re looking for an under-seen holiday horror gem you need look no further than 1989’s Elves, which sees “Grizzly Addams” star Dan Haggerty squaring off against Nazi elves. Unfortunately, the film hasn’t ever made its way off of VHS and onto Blu-ray or even DVD, but while we wait for that eventual release, you can at least get your hands on the soundtrack.

Up for grabs right now, our friends over at Terror Vision Records have brought the Elves original motion picture soundtrack to both vinyl and cassette for the first time EVER!

You can buy the LP for $28 and/or the cassette for $10, or you can also pick up a special bundle for $60 that includes the LP as well as an enamel pin, t-shirt, and a screenprint.

The team notes, “LPs WILL NOT ship until April. We’ll get you a DL code in the meantime along with our 2hr Merry CringMas video mixtape.” Cassettes are shipping now, limited to 100.

The vinyl release features:

  • Liner notes by the composer

  • Audio pulled from original tapes / remastered

  • Gatefold packaging / colored wax

  • Art by Earl Kess

Several variants are available, so head over to the Terror Vision website to learn more!

‘Abigail’ on Track for a Better Opening Weekend Than Universal’s Previous Two Vampire Attempts

Published

on

In the wake of Leigh Whannell’s Invisible Man back in 2020, Universal has been struggling to achieve further box office success with their Universal Monsters brand. Even in the early days of the pandemic, Invisible Man scared up $144 million at the worldwide box office, while last year’s Universal Monsters: Dracula movies The Last Voyage of the Demeter and Renfield didn’t even approach that number when you COMBINE their individual box office hauls.

The horror-comedy Renfield came along first in April 2023, ending its run with just $26 million. The period piece Last Voyage of the Demeter ended its own run with a mere $21 million.

But Universal is trying again with their ballerina vampire movie Abigail this weekend, the latest bloodbath directed by the filmmakers known as Radio Silence (Ready or Not, Scream).

Unlike Demeter and Renfield, the early reviews for Abigail are incredibly strong, with our own Meagan Navarro calling the film “savagely inventive in terms of its vampiric gore,” ultimately “offering a thrill ride with sharp, pointy teeth.” Read her full review here.

That early buzz – coupled with some excellent trailers – should drive Abigail to moderate box office success, the film already scaring up $1 million in Thursday previews last night. Variety notes that Abigail is currently on track to enjoy a $12 million – $15 million opening weekend, which would smash Renfield ($8 million) and Demeter’s ($6 million) opening weekends.

Working to Abigail‘s advantage is the film’s reported $28 million production budget, making it a more affordable box office bet for Universal than the two aforementioned movies.

Stay tuned for more box office reporting in the coming days.

In Abigail, “After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.”
