The Screaming: College student Bob Martin rents a room from the alluring Crystal Traum, who introduces him to her New Age religion, Crystalnetics. Soon, Bob’s health and mindset dramatically improve. But when a detective reveals a string of mysterious deaths tied to the cult, Bob uncovers the chilling truth – and must face a slew of cloaked assassins, monsters and the cults’ charismatic alien leader. From veteran indie auteur Jeff Leroy (Creepies, Rat Scratch Fever) comes a razor-sharp, unapologetically bizarre takedown of a certain star-studded New Age religion. This twisted tale brims with a sense of doom, draped in shadowy femme fatales and is dripping with grotesque, gooey stop-motion creature chaos. Leroy doesn’t pull any punches, layering the film with satirical bite and underground spirit, ultimately shaping a surreal fever dream that pays homage to pulp horror while taking aim at the power and absurdity of cult celebrity.

Extras include a CD soundtrack of the original score by Jay Woelfel, director supervised master from existing tape masters, commentary with Tony Strauss of Weng’s Chop Magazine, a making of, The Screaming: Reborm, a director remastered alternate verison of film with commentary from director Jeff Leroy, producer Dave Sterling and star Vinnie Bilancio, an image Gallery, trailers, a mini-poster, “Stick Your Own” VHS sticker set, a reversible sleeve featuring original VHS art and a limited edition O-Card. Available May 12 from Visual Vengeance.

Fungicide: Deep within a tranquil forest, five strangers meet at a secluded bed and breakfast. But one of these guests happens to be a mad scientist, who uses his vacation to accidentally create an army of killer mushrooms. Now unleashed on the other guests, and with the body count quickly piling up, it’s up to the survivors to arm themselves and fight back against these slaughtering shrooms in hopes of stopping them from world domination! From Dave Wascavage, the writer/ director of Rifftrax and Red Letter Media favorite Suburban Sasquatch comes a film that somehow manages to outdo and out-WTF that movie in almost every department, with jaw-dropping mushroom samurai fighting, puppet karate decapitations and near interdimensional level CGI alchemy that will have viewers believing they have actually ingested mushrooms, the good kind.
