Mondo Video Presents ‘Things’
Intervision, dedicated to releasing obscure genre gems, has teamed up with Mondo once again to release a limited edition VHS of the first Canadian shot-on-Super 8 gore flick, Things. The 1989 shocker is “the surreal saga of two friends who visit a remote cabin, only to discover a womb of monstrous horror that demands graphic dismemberment. It’s an inexplicable orgy of eye ripping, beer guzzling, boob baring, skull drilling, sandwich making, chain sawing, bad acting and post-sync dubbing.” It follows in the foot steps of Sledgehammer, which was also released on limited Edition VHS through Mondo Video back in May.
Intervision released Things on DVD today, complete with over four hours of bonus material including video testimonials from iconic horror auteur Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun) and more. But for those who still own a VCR and are dying for a hearty dose of nostalgia, Mondo will be selling the VHS through their site tomorrow at a random time. Like their poster releases, these will go fast so if you want one, make sure you start stalking their twitter account (@MondoNews) once you get up. There’s no word on how limited the run is or what it’ll cost you, but there were only 100 Sledgehammer VHS produced (for $20 a pop) and they went for over $100 on eBay a few days days later.
