Got the press release that outlines all you need to know about the upcoming release of BRUTAL MASSACRE from those horror lovers over at Anchor Bay. Here it is:
BRUTAL
MASSACRE: A COMEDY
READY FOR ITS CLOSE-UP
ON
DVD JULY
22ND
FROM ANCHOR BAY
ENTERTAINMENT
Special Edition DVD features more than 17 extended and deleted
scenes
BURBANK, CA – Just when you thought it was safe to turn
on your DVDBrutal Massacre: A Comedy, the irreverent mockumentary about the
horror film shoot from Hell! The film will be available on
DVD July 22nd. Written and directed by Stevan
Mena (Malevolence) and boasting an
all-star cast of horror film legends -- all in comedic roles -- Brutal Massacre: A Comedy is a
hilarious look into the chaotic world of low budget independent filmmaking, as a
once-successful horror film director tries to make his comeback vehicle. The Brutal Massacre
DVD goes even deeper behind-the-scenes of
this cross-genre epic, with a “making-of” featurette as well as 17 extended and deleted scenes!
SRP is a seriously inexpensive $26.97, with a
pre-book date of June 19th. player…Anchor Bay Entertainment
will release
Brutal Massacre: A Comedy is
becoming the toast of the horror convention circuit, including recent cast
appearances at HorrorHound Weekend, Chiller Weekend and Fangoria Weekend of
Horrors in Los Angeles – where the
ENTIRE headline cast appeared on stage to discuss the film! Delivering laughs in
the best mockumentary tradition of This
Is Spinal Tap, Brutal Massacre
gives fans of horror and comedy a “Best
in Horror-Show” performance
featuring such horror and comedy film luminaries as David Naughton (An American Werewolf In London); Brian
O’Halloran (Clerks, Chasing Amy);
Gerry Bednob (The 40-Year Old Virgin,
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story); Gunnar Hansen (the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre); Ellen
Sandweiss, Betsy Baker and Theresa Tilly, aka “The Ladies of The Evil Dead;,” Ken Foree (the original
Dawn of the Dead), and Vincent Butta
(The Pick-Up Artist).
In the film, Naughton plays Harry Penderecki, a once
heralded horror auteur who now finds himself on the outside looking in at
Hollywood. Though renowned for such
groundbreaking horror classics as I’ll
Take the Ring Back and the Finger Too! and Sasquatch at the Mall, he hasn’t had a
hit in a while and most in the industry have scratched his name off their “A”
list.
But Harry isn’t completely down and out. He’s embarking
on what he hopes to be his return to the big leagues with Brutal Massacre. Reuniting his longtime
filmmaking team, Harry also has the entire production shadowed by documentarian
Bert Campbell (Butta). But what starts as a successful convention appearance
announcing the start of filming quickly devolves into a battle of Sisyphean
proportions to capture even a single, usable frame of footage. Between
incompetent special effects artists, temperamental actors, bad location advice,
sexual shenanigans, on-set tragedies and the usual budget overruns, Harry
struggles to keep his sanity while facing overwhelming obstacles to finish the
picture and find himself at the top once again.
DVD SPECIAL
FEATURES
- Widescreen (1.78:1) presentation, enhanced for 16x9
televisions
- Behind-the-scenes of Brutal Massacre
- Seventeen deleted and extended scenes

New Red-Band Trailer for "Stuck"

Although this is very different from the original trailer for Stuart Gordon's latest shocker, Stuck, the red-band definitely fits in with the newer poster that plays up the exploitation-as-comedy angle. Check out Bloody-Disgusting's Youtube page for the goods.
I love how Gordon's staking out two different sides of horror, with his Lovecraft tales and his real-world terrors. Edmond was disturbing as hell, and this looks to continue the trend. And Mena was arguably the best thing about the Day of the Dead remake (the fact that it ended was a close second), so let's hope she's finding her comfort zone in a new genre.
