It has been very busy here at Massacre Video, so I would like to apologize on the lack of updates on the website. As many of you know, 555 was released at Cinema Wasteland this past October. The release is going extremely well and the feedback has been overwhelming. I would like to thank every single person that has purchased the DVD, the VHS, or the limited edition DVD.

As some of you have heard, Massacre Video will be releasing Tsurisaki Kiyotaka’s 2001 shockumentry Orozco the Embalmer. Like 555, Orozco will be given the deluxe treatment as only a standalone DVD, but also in a limited edition DVD/VHS. The limited edition DVD and VHS will be limited to 100 copies each, so make sure to pre-order them when the time comes.

Also, Massacre Video has teamed up with filmmaker Glen Coburn to release a very special VHS of his campy 1984 film Bloodsuckers from Outer Space. This will be our first VHS-exclusive release and it will include some awesome extras from Coburn.

Both Orozco the Embalmer and Bloodsuckers from Outer Space will make their debut at the next Cinema Wasteland, scheduled for March 31-April 2, 2012. See you there!

Actor and the face of 555 Scott Hermes has decided to sell his personal copy of 555, he is selling it on eBay and it came be autographed if you desire!

The link to the auction is http://www.ebay.com/itm/555-Rare-VHS-Slasher-Film-Autographed-Tommy-Head-Box-/140609854147?pt=VHS&hash=item20bd001ac3.

Don’t let this one pass, the 555 VHS is rare on it’s own! Now to have an actors personal copy is a once in a life time opportunity.

As many of you may know, the premiere horror convention, Cinema Wasteland, is quickly approaching! To me, this convention has been like home for years! Naturally, I asked myself, “What better place is there to have the 555 release party?” Massacre Video will have a table there the entire weekend, so be sure to stop by and pick up a copy of 555. Saturday night (technically Sunday) at 12:15AM, there will be a screening of 555 to close out the convention for the day. This will be the first official 555 screening since the initial release back in ’88. I will also be announcing the new Massacre Video releases at the convention!

Regarding pre-orders, thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and stuck through the bullshit PayPal put me through. Everything was resolved in an odd way, but resolved nonetheless. The Massacre Video store will reopen after Cinema Wasteland, when all DVDs are on hand!

Also, Massacre Video has made the leap to the social networking sites! You can find MV on Twitter @MassacreVideo and on Facebook.

If you may notice, the Massacre Video store is temporarily down. Long story short, PayPal feels that I should not be able to spend any of the pre-order money to make the product! They refuse to unlock the money until I ship the product out, which is counterproductive because without the money I can not pay for the product to be created, so how could it be shipped? After speaking to PayPal representatives for hours on end, I realized I hit a brick wall and they do not care about the little company or how they could possibly corrupt it.

Within a day or so I will post again to let everyone know what is currently going on with the pre-orders! TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PRE-ORDERED, YOUR ORDER WILL BE HONORED!

I have put a lot into this project already for it to fail at the last second due to a greedy multi-billionaire company such as PayPal. I will work diligently to make sure that this is solved in the fastest matter possible.

Thank you so much to everyone that has pre-ordered and please bear with me while I try to fix this shit storm!

The wait is now finally over, you can now pre-order the limited editions of 555(along with the standard DVD). Stocks are limited so make sure you pre-order to secure your copy! All pre-orders will come with a special only printed once limited 11×17 poster.

You can pre-order at http://massacrevideo.storeenvy.com!

I have gotten quite a few e-mails requesting the Massacre Video shirt, so they will be re-printed soon. But I decided first it was the right time of the year to put out something a bit more warm.

note: sweatshirt type may vary.

If you are interested in one they are only $30 shipped(within the USA), order fast because this is a limited run that WILL NOT be printed again. Only about 30 of these bad boys exist, size Small-XXL are available!

Please e-mail me at louiscjustin@gmail.com if interested!

I would like to take a moment and welcome you to the new Massacre Video! You may notice that MV is no longer an e-store. Right now, I am going to focus more on releasing films. I won’t say that the store will never come back, but I just have other things on mind right now. I have gotten a bunch of emails about 555′s progress which is great. Things are coming along slowly, but they are surely coming. MV is not my full-time job, nor was it ever intended to be. I am a film lover that does this as a hobby. So please do not expect the fastest turn around, especially because this is a one man operation. But I can say that 555 should be released by the end of 2010. I am very proud of how the DVD is shaping up and I hope old and new fans will be able to appreciate all the work that has gone into this DVD!

In other news, I had Massacre Video shirts made for the April 2010 Cinema Wasteland convention in Strongsville, Ohio. They went over extremely well. I only had 25 made and they all sold out! If anyone would be interested in one, shoot me an email to motivate me to get some more printed. Here is a photo of the shirt:

This is just a quick little welcome to the new site. I would like to thank all of the customers Massacre Video had. It was great dealing with most of you. Keep checking back for updates!
