‘Slaughter High’ and Others Gets Release Via ‘The Lost Collection’
Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced today the April 14th release of THE LOST COLLECTION, DVD releases of eight fun theatrical films from the 1980s featuring the “best films you totally forgot about.” Included in the collection are SLAUGHTER HIGH, REPOSSESSED and MY BEST FRIEND IS A VAMPIRE. Read on for a look at each film and the cover art.
My Best Friend is a Vampire Synopsis: A young student finds himself being transformed into a vampire after a night with a quite attractive female vampire. First, he does not quite believe it himself, but with the help of a 300 year old teacher and the handbook Vampirism – A Guide to an Alternative Lifestyle, he finds out that blood does not taste as bad as he expected. Of course, he does not bite women, as a good guy he sticks to pig blood which is offered by the local butcher as a special offer for vampires. Trouble rises when a vampire hunter tries to track him down with wooden sticks and silver bullets.
Slaughter High Synopsis: A group of popular students play a cruel prank on a shy nerd resulting in a terrible accident. Years later, a reunion is held and each of the students face a stalker who may be the same nerd out for revenge.
Repossessed Synopsis: It’s been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the devil from little Nancy Aglet. Now, years later, Nancy has grown up and has a family, but the demon returns to repossess her. With Father Mayii unwilling to help, another priest agrees to help her even when a television reporter plans to air the exorcism live.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
