    "TOWNIES" SPECIAL EDITION ARRIVES JULY 23! (5/19/2002):

    Welcome to Schlarb, Ohio...a small town overrun by misfits, freaks and weirdos! Our next Special Edition DVD & VHS release is a bit of a departure for us...it's not strictly horror and in fact it's more of a dark comedy shot entirely on location in Ravenna, Ohio called TOWNIES, based on the bizarre antics of real-life folks who inhabit this sleepy hamlet. Dickie (Toby Radloff, KILLER NERD) is a lonely dumpster-diver who finds companionship in his latest discovery…a young woman's corpse! Pricey (Lori Scarlett, OZONE) is a mute girl with a lookalike baby-doll. When she loses her doll after an unsavory encounter, she replaces it with the next best thing — her neighbor's young son! Meanwhile, the enigmatic Caduceus sets out to cleanse a nasty high school girl of her wicked ways. Scenes to follow include necrophilia, marijuana-smoking lesbians, the sexual assault of a mentally-challenged girl and a dinner plate of skinned and cooked squirrels...not for the weak! This "magnum opus of CineTrash" comes courtesy of Wayne Alan Harold, the creator of the KILLER NERD films and the lesbian serial killer opus GIRLFRIENDS. The cast includes KILLER NERD and MTV News star Toby Radloff (the "Genuine Nerd"), who will be featured in the HBO film AMERICAN SPLENDOR this fall.

    "HELL ASYLUM" DVD NOW PRE-ORDERING! (1/30/2001):

    The second Tempe DVD release is only days away! HELL ASYLUM marks the return of Danny Draven (HORRORVISION) to the director's chair and is being touted as the goriest Tempe production in nearly a decade. Written by Troma vet Trent Haaga (CITIZEN TOXIE), this flick follows the exploits of a handful of sexy models who have to face their fears before the TV cameras of a new show called "Chill Challenge"...or die trying! Returning to the Tempe fold are STITCHES star Debra Mayer, WITCHOUSE 3: DEMON FIRE star Tanya Dempsey and KILLJOY 2: DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL star Olimpia Fernandez. The girls are rounded out with relative newcomers Stacey Scowley and Sunny Lombardo. Also featured is Tim Muskatell as Max and a cameo by Charles Austin (THE VAULT, KILLJOY 2). Look for special appearances by genre heavyweight Joe Estevez (SOULTAKER) and Tempe fave Brinke Stevens (WITCHOUSE 3, HORRORVISION). DVD fans should note there are actually TWO editions available -- one is a no-frills version from Full Moon as a double-feature with PRISON OF THE DEAD. Ours is the Limited Special Edition which features a host of enticing extras, including commentary by director Danny Draven & music composer Josephine Soegijanty, cast & crew interviews, director's diary, bloopers & outtakes reel, Cup o' Joe (an interview with Joe Estevez) and the original teaser trailer. Of course the feature is presented in a 16:9-enhanced widescreen format with a blistering Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix! But that's not all! We've rounded up a nice little bonus feature for you called MULVA: ZOMBIE ASS KICKER! Featuring cameos from scream queen Debbie Rochon, writer Trent Haaga and Troma chief Lloyd Kaufman, MULVA is a hilarious horror-comedy from writer/director Chris Seaver and his Low-Budget Pictures. MULVA features its own running commentary and also an intro and teaser trailer for one of their forthcoming efforts, SCROTAL VENGEANCE. HELL ASYLUM ships in mid-February, but if you pre-order a copy before Feb. 12th, 2002 you'll get it just for $14.99 (that's $5.00 off the normal price). There are only 2,000 units being produced on this title and they're sure to go fast! (We'll also have a limited supply of the HELL/PRISON double-feature DVD which will go online soon.)
