VS-243: Body Melt [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Slipcover Edition of 2,000*
This special limited edition Vimuville cutout logo / slime-green dayglo slipcover (designed by Derek Gabryszak) is limited to just 2,000 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
Residents of the placid suburban cul-de-sac of Pebbles Court have started receiving unexpected samples of a new and experimental vitamin, manufactured by a strange health spa named Vimuville. However, shortly after adding the mysterious green powder to their diets, users begin to experience strange and increasingly macabre visions, and worse, their bodies start to mutate, ooze, and eventually melt! As visits from the coroner to the sleepy street become a nearly daily experience, Detective Sam Phillips becomes increasingly suspicious of the goings on at Vimuville, but will he be able to uncover its diabolical motives before the whole of Australia is subjected to BODY MELT?
Writer/director/composer Philip Brophy’s notorious slime-filled cult classic BODY MELT remains one of the last great Ozploitation films. Packed with gross-out gore effects, biting black comedy, and a throbbing techno-esque score, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents BODY MELT on Blu-ray for the first time in North America, and in an all new 2k restoration sourced from the original 16mm negative, exclusive to this release.

VS-244: The House on Tombstone Hill [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Slipcover Edition of 1,500*
This special limited edition double-sided embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to just 1,500 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
A group of friends have decided to repair and renovate an old house located in the middle of nowhere in the hope of turning it into their ‘cool’ crash pad. But shortly after arriving, a strange and seemingly senile old woman is found to be lurking around the premises. Uncertain of her intentions, the group of trendy homesteaders go about their business but soon find themselves up against a very unexpected geriatric evil, hell-bent on keeping them as permanent residents in ‘her’ house, dispatching them in a series of creatively gruesome ways. But to make matters even worse, shortly after meeting their demise, their mutilated corpses return from the dead, determined to help their elderly assassin and her fiendish daughter finish off the others…
Absurdly gory and filled with top-notch kills, courtesy of effects wizards Ed French and Bruce Spaulding Fuller, James Riffel’s cynical blend of slasher and zombie film (and late 80s late-night cable classic), THE HOUSE ON TOMBSTONE HILL (aka THE DEAD COME HOME and DEAD DUDES IN THE HOUSE), makes its Blu-ray debut from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from its original camera negative and looking better than you ever thought possible.

VS-245: Memories Within Miss Aggie [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Slipcover Edition of 1,000*
This special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to just 1,000 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
The only thing missing from Aggie’s life…was Aggie. In the middle of nowhere lives middle aged Aggie, with her wheelchair bound companion Richard. As snow falls outside, Aggie tries desperately to remember the circumstances under which they met. As she plays through in her mind a series of possible scenarios, only to dismiss each as a false past, she inadvertently begins to reveal an increasingly dark portrait of her true self, leading to the unexpected and shocking reality of her relationship with Richard.
A chilling study of loneliness and religiously based sexual repression, Gerard Damiano’s magnum opus, MEMORIES WITHIN MISS AGGIE ranks among the strongest and most unsettling psychological character studies in the history of erotic cinema. Featuring Kim Pope, Mary Stuart, and Darby Lloyd Raines as Aggie’s fictitious past selves, along with supporting performances from Eric Edwards and Harry Reems, underpinned by a haunting screenplay by Ron Wertheim (Through the Looking Glass), Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents this unique and important work of classic erotica on Blu-ray for the first time.
