Vinegar Syndrome kick off 2020 with a delectable bunch of delights that include cannibalism, zombies and some groin tingling erotic cinema.
Below you can check out what they have set for release this January.
VS-305: Zombie Island Massacre [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Slipcover*
Special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
A group of Americans, on what they assumed would be a relaxing and fun-filled vacation in the Caribbean, soon find themselves trapped in the island wilderness after their tour bus breaks down. Alone and stranded, the group begin to fall prey to an unknown, voodoo mask wearing assailant who bumps them off in various nasty ways, ranging from decapitation and evisceration, to impalement. As the surviving members of the group frantically search for help, they begin to suspect that not all of them might be who they claim they are, and that one of them might be a cold-blooded killer…
John N. Carter’s ZOMBIE ISLAND MASSACRE, the production of which is still somewhat shrouded in mystery, was produced at the height of the 80s slasher craze and features all of the genre hallmarks including gruesome death, gratuitous nudity, and an entirely original looking ‘killer guise,’ along with a score by genre favorite Harry Manfredini (Friday the 13th). Previously viewable only in dark and drab video sourced editions which mask its impressive special effects and surprisingly colorful cinematography by Robert Baldwin (The Exterminator), Vinegar Syndrome brings ZOMBIE ISLAND MASSACRE to Blu-ray, newly restored from its 35mm original negative.

VS-306: Flesh-Eating Mothers [BD/DVD Combo] *Limited Slipcover*
Special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
Something strange is happening to the mothers in a small town in upstate New York… Small and subtle changes appear at first, but soon the women are transformed into deranged, demented, and cannibalistic FLESH-EATING MOTHERS. With no one safe from ending up as a key ingredient in the next tupperware party luncheon, it’s up to the town’s young people to uncover the shocking truth behind the carnage and put an end to it once and for all, especially as dinner time approaches.
A decidedly absurd and tongue-in-cheek mix of zombie film and Cronenberg-esque body horror, James Martin’s direct-to-video 80s cult classic, FLESH-EATING MOTHERS offers a non-stop barrage of over-the-top splatter, courtesy of special effects wizard Carl Sorensen (Child’s Play, Tremors), and pitch black humor. Co-produced by Peter Ilich (Splatter University) and photographed by future VFX guru, Harry Eisenstein, Vinegar Syndrome presents FLESH-EATING MOTHERS in its North American Blu-ray debut, freshly restored in 2K and featuring a new batch of exclusive extra features.

Special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
After the Sultan (John Leslie) defeats his cheating wife, the Sultana, along with his traitorous General, the Sultan no longer trusts women and orders they be put to death after spending the night with him. This all changes when he meets Scheherezade (Annette Haven), who’s sensual stories know no bounds. Can she use her storytelling skills to delay her looming execution, while also winning the affection of the Sultan?
An explicit adaptation of the classic middle eastern story Scheherezade, Stephen Lucas’ (China Girl) A THOUSAND AND ONE EROTIC NIGHTS is a critically acclaimed and elegantly produced classic of erotic cinema and co-stars Lisa De Leeuw, Mai Lin, Joey Silvera, Herschell Savage and others.
In its sequel, A THOUSAND AND ONE EROTIC NIGHTS PART 2: THE FORBIDDEN TALES, the Sultan (Francois Papillon) is bored and lonely. In an effort to spice things up, his advisor and confidant (Jamie Gillis) creates a contest to find the most titillating women in the Kingdom, and a new consort to the Sultan as well. A woman named Scheherezade (Kari Foxx) enters the contest, and may have a unique talent none of the of the other women possess…
Both of these sensual classics are making their Blu-ray debuts from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from their 35mm negatives.
