This retro release of "Demons" (1985) nicely plays up the film's horror elements. The late-cycle grindhouse classic, set in a movie theater, drew strong crowds and was memorably the "A" picture of a double feature...at least at Chicago's long-gone Dearborn Theater. The "B" entry was the not-bad disturbed-primate outing "Link". Once a very common tape...now scarce.

I'm super floored with how this photo came together. It was all done with in-camera, practical 'magic'. Took me a ton of tries to get the image, but it was 100% worth the effort. We are Groot!!!!

This retro VHS release of the storied splatter pic "Nightmare" (1981) is a second or third edition, put out by Korea Media. The earlier editions came in a small-box format with slightly different cover art. This "star box" format, with plenty o' crimson on display, is slightly rarer. The unabashed B-grade program, helmed by Romano Scavolini, punches past its weight with backstory. In North America, it was given a self-imposed X-rating for gore upon initial release. According to legend, practical F/X wizard Tom Savini may have worked on the film as a consultant, although he demanded his name be removed from the ad campaigns. A DVD release, from Code Red, strangely cautioned collectors that it would press no more than 100,000 (!) discs of the film. The Leonard Maltin "TV Movies" guide gives it a famously 'dissy "Rated D--for disgusting" review.

The well-regarded horror classic "Day of the Dead" (1985) gets the Korean VHS treatment on the unusual 'Home Game' label. This obscure distributor also released the legendary Henry Fonda-starring clinker "Tentacles" (1977). In the film, the third of Romero's zombie pictures, the undead outnumber flesh jobs by 400,000 to 1. Meanwhile, a group of 'experts' does scientific experiments in an underground bunker, allowing for some caustic commentary on the military-industrial complex. Odd release belongs in any "Day" collection.
This colorful VHS cover, chock-a-block with come-on text, promises special effects along the lines of Spielberg's "E.T." and "Poltergeist." The back cover highlights the films high-octane scares, with a blurb (roughly) touting "shock horror that can't be explained away by Freudian psychology." The film, released globally in a variety of cuts and aspect ratios, sometimes went under the title "Demons 3". This edition was put out by the Friend of the Horror Genre label Samboo. Now fairly rare.

This is the only image where the eyes were photoshopped, to enhance the effect of the narrative.
