1986 was a hugely important year in genre cinema—part of the five-year stretch between 1982 and 1987 that arguably makes up the best run of genre movies in history. Major studios and major filmmakers like Fox, James Cameron, David Cronenberg, and John Carpenter were turning out genre classics. New voices like Fred Dekker and John McTiernan were introducing themselves to audiences. Franchises like Friday the 13th, Star Trek, and Psycho were still going strong on the big screen. And in the middle of all this, America’s longest-running independent studio, Troma, cemented their very specific and wholly original cinematic voice with Class of Nuke ’Em High.
Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman had already been producing and directing films for over a decade—first art films and then a series of outrageous sex comedies like Waitress! and Stuck on You!—but it wasn’t until 1984’s The Toxic Avenger that Kaufman more or less established Troma’s house style.

[Editors Note: Given that we've already reviewed the Vinegar Syndrome release of Graduation Day and both discs are virtually identical bar the extras, we thought we'd review the Major difference between the two Blu-ray releases - the bonus feature on the UK disc, the documentary Scream Queens: Horror Heroines Exposed]
It’s fair to say I’m a sucker for scream queen “documentaries”. Be they the T&A filled features such as Scream Queen Hollywood Hot Tub Party, more amateur-hour productions such as Donald Farmer’s shot-on-video Invasion of the Scream Queens, or the awesome scream queen interviews that featured in Stephen King’s World of Horror – if it features an interview with a scream queen then I’m there. I’m also a fan of the documentaries and Blu-ray extras produced by High Rising Productions – including their previously released slasher movie documentary: Slice and Dice: The Slasher Movie Forever.
Put the two together and… I’m in filmic heaven!
Directed by UK-horror scene stalwart Calum Waddell and hosted by scream queen Debbie Rochon (Terror Firmer, Tromeo and Juliet) Scream Queens: Horror Heroines Exposed features, in a change of pace for horror documentaries, especially those focusing on females in the genre,...

The first wave of 88 Films’ Slasher Classics Collection hasn’t even hit stores yet and the company have released details of “wave 2″ – including four worldwide Blu-ray premieres, each debuting with new HD scans from the original materials approved by the directors themselves!
Check out the press release below, as well as the awesome – if temporary – artwork (click to enlarge):
First up is 1984’s Splatter University. Unavailable in the UK since the glory gory days of VHS tapes, this satirical campus-set sickie is one of the bloodiest and barmiest slasher-shockers ever made. Headlining the feisty Forbes Riley as a teacher trying to work out why her classes are featuring increasingly less students, Splatter University picks up the pace with a succession of superb sanguine-packed massacre-moments. A maniacal murder-mystery that is not afraid to crack out the crimson, Splatter University turns up the suspense en route to an outrageous conclusion. From...

Released in 1981, Graduation Day has become a favourite of slasher movie fans thanks to its plasma-spurting set pieces, maniacal mystery-killer storyline and a cast of cult celebrities that includes Christopher George (City of the Living Dead), Vanna White (Wheel of Fortune) and the perennially topless Scream Queen Linnea Quigley. Now set for a Blu-ray release, with a stunning print restored and re-mastered from a colourful 4k scan, from the folks at 88 Films, Graduation Day will arrive in the UK with an array of newly created special features from High Rising Productions including a new feature length documentary entitled Scream Queens: Horror Heroines Exposed.
Hosted by the legendary Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer), this insightful investigation into the challenges of women working within a genre frequently associated with a masculine fanbase is unique in featuring all-female perspectives.

Because of the scrappy, can-do success of Friday the 13th, audiences in cinemas were hit with a deluge of slasher movies, some pretty nifty and others that weren’t so hot. Though in my not so esteemed opinion, even the not so-hot ones had a roughshod, scattershot attitude that elevated them far above the generic knockoffs that this particularly unloved sub-genre would put out on a monthly basis. Some weeks, you’d get Just Before Dawn and others you get Splatter University.
The thing is, because of the profitability of these films, they were in cinemas for one week, made their budgets back and then zoomed out after making a decent killing (pun seriously unintended). They...

Fright Rags released three brand new designs today, including Splatter University and Bride of Re-Animator, but we’re partial to their new ‘Regan’s Curse’ shirt:
“Is it Spring yet? Ok, dumb question… We’ve been working hard all winter long on some big projects and also some major changes to the website which we hope to unveil soon. In the meantime though, we have quite a few goodies to unleash today, so without further ado…
Three New Designs!
All three of these shirts are now in stock and ready to ship*! But act fast because once these are gone, into the graveyard they go and will not be back unless they get enough votes! *Remember that any in-stock shirt ordered with a pre-order item will ship only when the order is complete.

New distribution company FilmRise has added a crop of cult horror titles to their quickly growing list of horror acquisitions for home video release in DVD and digital formats. Their latest acquisitions include several films helmed by Class of Nuke 'Em High director Richard W. Haines, including the goofy 1984 slasher Splatter University, psycho-thriller Head Games and his most recent feature What Really Frightens You? Also in the lineup is the campy cannibal flick Flesh Eating Mothers and monster-kid opus The Suckling. The new titles join previous FilmRise horror pickups that include Wes Craven's occult obscurity Deadly Blessing (starring Sharon Stone), TV movie Grave Secrets (starring Patty Duke) and SyFy series Deals from the Darkside. They also recently picked up the digital distribution rights to John Landis's 1981 classic An American Werewolf in London. Check out their full catalog at their official site.

High Rising’s Calum Waddell tells Fango that Scream Queen: Horror’S Hottest Heroines is on track to come out next year. “It’s an all-female documentary that really espoutes the women’s point of view when it comes to acting within a genre so often associated with masculine dominance or the ‘girl in peril.’ There are no guys in front of the camera; we had no interest in that. If you want to hear the male view on horror cinema, let’s face it, you have plenty of places to hear it! So far we have almost 20 legendary names in the mix; it’s a really exciting project.”
Among those names are (pictured below, top to bottom): B-movie legend Sybil Danning, first and fifth Friday The 13th heroines Adrienne King and Melanie Kinnaman, Patricia Tallman from Night Of The Living Dead 1990, 2001 Maniacs’ Christa Campbell, Splatter University’s Forbes Riley...

A relic from my distant childhood popped up on YouTube recently, and I'd be a fool if I didn't share it all with you. A Fool, I say. Basically what we have here is a 15-minute ABC News piece from the the late 1980s (I'm guessing '88) that warns of *gasp* Vcr Horrors! Yes, nearly 50% of American households had Vcr machines at the time of this report, and ABC News was clearly intent on A) showing some garish gore footage, and B) blaming the producers for foisting such filth on our poor little children. Not once (except maybe at the end, and even then it's accidental) does this "news" piece assert that the parents are solely responsible for keeping, say, Splatter University out of little Timmy's hands -- but here's something else I...

Here is the trailer for Slime City Massacre, Gregory Lamberson's sequel to his 1988 cult film Slime City . The new film is a post apocalyptic tale that pays tribute to 1970s science fiction films, 1980s horror films, and 1990s action films. It stars Debbie Rochon, Lee Perkins, Brooke Lewis, Kealan Patrick Burke, Jennifer Bihl, original Slime City stars Robert Sabin and Mary Bogle, and features appearances by Roy (Street Trash) Frumkes, Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman, and Dick Biel (Splatter University). "Slime City Massacre takes place several years after the events in the original film. The bizarre New York City neighborhood known as Slime City is devastated by a “dirty bomb” attack. In the wake of the attack, the now radioactive Slime City has been evacuated by the government. The only people who remain are a haggard assortment of homeless slimeheads and a pack of pimps, prostitutes, and drug dealers that...
