We are finally back from the road trip with Chester Turner. We had some great screenings. A special thank you is in order to Cinefamily, Bleeding Skull, Nitehawk Cinema, Austin Film Society, Lunchmeat Magazine, and Horror Boobs for their hospitality. Chester and I had a blast. We hope to see turn outs this good when we premiere Chester’s new film, Tales from the Quadead Zone 2, which is currently in production.

As you can tell, we have done an overhaul of the website. The store and DVD pages are now one in the same. You can also now see the entire Massacre catalog. The hardbox and VHS of Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone have gone live, so order now before they are gone for good.

Here are some more updates. First of all, we will be handling the release of the Michigan made film Back from Hell, by director Matt Jaissle. We are working closely with Matt to create the definitive release of this film. This will be a titan of a release, including many supplements and some never before seen scenes!

Our Mondo Magic print has been scanned/color corrected. We were pleasantly surprised to see it has the same uncut runtime as the Italian “Magia Nuda” cut of the film. The movie clocks in at just over 99 minutes. The longest previously available version of the film was the Magnum Entertainment VHS release, which ran 95 minutes. Fans of this little nasty documentary won’t want to miss this release!

Finally, we have been hard at work on the release of another Michigan film, The Changer (aka The Nostril Picker). We are in contact with the director, Mark Nowicki, who agreed to provide extras for the disc.

That is it for now. Check back soon for more updates

The replacement DVDs for Snuff 102 will be here in a week. The place dragged their asses with the replacements, which was very inconvenient, but, alas, they will be here and up for sale soon! The hardboxes for both Savage Vengeance and Snuff 102 are likewise on their way to us and should arrive at the end of September with the Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone hardboxes. Why so many hardbox delays for us? I am not sure, but hopefully this is a situation that will fix itself soon! Because everyone has been so patient, I would like to show off the artwork for the upcoming Snuff 102 hardbox, which will be a limited edition of 102 copies!

Mostly all of the Snuff 102 VHS have been shipped out. An email has been sent to the few international customers whose orders have not been shipped, asking if they would like to wait for the hardbox and/or DVD to arrive before shipping. Postage outside of the USA is extremely high right now, so it makes sense giving customers the option to wait until everything is in hand to ship it all at once.

MV has just signed a deal with CAV Distribution. For years, we have been doing everything 100% in-house. Doing everything in-house has had its perks, but also its downfalls, like slower shipping. But with the company growing at a rapid rate, it only makes sense to not spread myself thinner than I already am and to join up with a great company who can make the fulfillment end tons easier. You will therefore now see MV DVDs for sale from all reputable online dealers and in some retail stores. The hardboxes and VHS will still be done in-house, but the more time-consuming DVDs will be handled by CAV, which should make shipping times much faster.

Now onto Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone news. We finished the DVDs for both films and also have finished a 45-minute documentary titled Return to the Quadead Zone: The Films of Chester N. Turner. The documentary features interviews with director Chester N. Turner and actress Shirley L. Jones. It is a rare insightful look into these two obscurities.

The Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone releases will feature an array of cool editions!
-VHS releases of both films with a run of 150 each. We decided to go a little past 100 units on these two due to the amount of emails we have gotten that displayed interest in them. To make the VHS releases 100 times cooler, actress and artist of the original Tales from the Quadead Zone BC Video VHS release, Shirley L. Jones, will be hand drawing custom cover art for both releases.
-Hardbox releases for both films, with two separate covers for each. Cover A for both films will be limited to 66 copies and Cover B will be limited to 34 copies. These are first come, first serve, so be sure to check back for more information on both of these.
-The standard DVD will include both films in two separate DVD cases with a cardboard slipcase.

We are currently booking screenings for Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone. If anyone is interested, you can contact louiscjustin@gmail.com for more information.

MV also has some other new releases in the works, including titles we have been keeping quiet about for months. It feels nice to finally be able to spread the good word!

First, we would like to announce the release of a deluxe set of the 1976 documentary, Mondo Magic! This is a film I have loved for many years, so it is great to finally give it the release it deserves! Mondo Magic will be sourced from an uncut 35mm positive print. This will be the first uncut USA release of the film!

In association with Vinegar Syndrome, we are proud to announce the release of the obscure 1988 slasher film The Changer, better known as The Nostril Picker. The release will be sourced from the original masters and will feature an array of awesome special features. This one is definitely one that fans of slasher films will not want to miss!

Lastly, we will be handling the North American DVD for the extremely controversial film Voyage to Agatis by director Marian Dora. Fans of Marian Dora’s work will be delighted to see this film completely uncut and with English subtitles for the first time ever! The disc will also feature many supplements, including an exclusive rare interview with director Marian Dora and actor Thomas Goersch.

That is all for now. We will be updating soon with more information on the Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone releases, as well as dates for the theatrical tour!

If you may notice the Snuff 102 DVD is listed as “out of stock” in the store. With this project I decided to use a new printer, which was the first mistake. The disc were sent in the wrong cases, it was not the end of the world but I was still not fully happy. Late last night, I sat down to watch the film with a group of friends….for some reason there is about a .5 second audio/video delay. This was not the way it was on the master DVD, so simply I am not comfortable selling defective DVDs!

I will be sending back these DVDs and making sure this gets fixed in a fast and timely matter. If you have already ordered a Snuff 102 DVD and it has been shipped, don’t worry you will receive a new copy in the mail when the new disc arrives.

This is honestly a shame and I feel awful about it, but when it comes down to it I can’t sell an inferior product. I hope everyone understands that delays can happen(such as this one) and we will make sure it is fixed in a quick and timely matter!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Snuff 102 standard edition DVDs are in stock now! The hardoxes for Snuff 102 and Savage Vengeance should be here rather soon, we will keep you updated as to when they are available.

Also, we will be set up at the Days of the Dead convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend. Make sure to come say hello and pick up a DVD or two.

I just thought I should post a quick update about the Black Devil Doll from Hell and Tales from the Quadead Zone DVD. Not only did we find the mysterious Chester Novell Turner, but with his gracious help we managed to track down the star of both films, the lovely Shirley Latanya Jones!

Above is Chester and Shirley holding the original copies of both film on VHS!

Keep checking back for more updates!
