Lauderdale.Īfter they shoplift some groceries to feed their broke ass bellies on the trip, the trio runs afoul of some very aggressive police officers who are rather enthusiastic about police brutality. Nancy hitches a ride with Tom and Hank, two college kids headed for Ft. When her creepy cop stepdad Bert (Lawrence Tierney) tries to sexually assault her, she cracks him on the head with her transistor radio and runs away from home. This family really loves Satan! God bless ‘em! Fast forward to “Yesterday” (sometime in 1982, that is) where we meet Nancy (Melanie Verlin), a teenage girl with an unfortunate haircut. You can find more details on these releases in the cheeky video below.Somewhere just outside of Pittsburgh, a mother and her four children are hunting a little girl for their satanic ritual. Severin’s website has some limited-edition bonuses for the Patrick Still Lives and Shock Treatment discs. Coming from Mario Landi, director of the ultra-sleazy Giallo in Venice, I can’t say I’m surprised. This one has a reputation for some scenes of nasty violence, and was previously available as a Shriek Show release. This will be the first official Stateside release of Luigi Cozzi’s The Black Cat, and Shock Treatment (not to be confused with The Rocky Horror Picture Show sequel) looks like a properly bizarre bit of early-’70s psychedelia.īut I’m most interested in Patrick Still Lives, allegedly a very unauthorized sequel to the 1978 Australian film, Patrick. Severin’s October lineup is a mix of the little-seen, and freshened-up versions of the long-OOP: For example, they recently produced an upgraded version of Fulci’s Demonia, an early Shriek Show release.
So, in a case of “all that is old becoming new again,” companies like Severin have swooped in to rescue these films from out-of-print obscurity. To this day, their titles often demand high prices at horror-con vendor tables.
But Shriek Show no longer exists, and most of their DVD releases have been out of circulation for years.
