VS-185: Psychos in Love [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Edition Slipcover*
NOTE: The first 2,000 copies sold through VinegarSyndrome.com will include a double-thick ‘stickered cover’ limited edition slipcover designed by Derek Gabryszak. If you see this message and you order the release, you’ll get the limited slipcover.
Joe (Carmine Capobianco) runs a strip club and Kate (Debi Thibeault) is an attractive young manicurist. After bonding over their mutual dislike of grapes, they discover another commonality: both of them are bloodthirsty serial killers. As they begin to balance their obsession with murder and each other, they meet Herman (Frank Stewart), a cannibal who, upon discovering their bloodlust, attempts to lure them into killing as a means to satisfy his craving for human flesh!
Bloody and hilarious, Gorman Bechard’s PSYCHOS IN LOVE is an absurd, home grown horror-comedy, which alternates between gratuitous killing scenes and self-aware parody of romantic comedies. Vinegar Syndrome presents this lurid classic in a fresh 2k restoration from its 16mm original camera negative.
