"Starting either this Friday or next, it's back to 2020 announcement clues. Might go pretty Euro heavy for a change (since the schedule itself has more Euro titles [including box sets] scheduled than any other year in our history). Be good and you'll get rewarded."

As much as I love that VS release classic American porn form the golden age on blu (and please let it continue) I would really welcome if they started to look into releasing some European porn. There are literally hundreds of fantastic features from the 70's up to the 90's that would look awesome on blu if handled correctly. From the French to the Italians, a lot of directors were still shooting on 16 or 35mm up until the mid/late 90's.

Not sure how I feel about VS getting more into Eurocult. My personal tastes lean more towards Eurocult than what they usually release so I'm sure I'll love what they end up releasing. But Eurocult is well covered by other labels and I'd hate to see less low budget regional horror and 42nd Street fare replaced by gialli that likely would have been covered by someone else. I'm also open to the notion that I'm over thinking this.

I hope they keep firing on titles like Savage Harbor, Blood Beat, Candy Tangerine Man and Mary Mary.

I haven't heard anyone mention MARY MARY before. Is it a gem?

I hope they keep doing Eurohorror films, I really enjoyed Bloody Sect from Spain. I actually see no company showing any interest in Jess Franco's porn films from the 80's, I actually think Vinegar Syndrome could do some good releases on those if possible. A Crack For Two is one I have wanted for many years. I mean Lina Romay hiding microfilm up her ass, that is classic right? haha

So VS has Malabimba coming out soon, and it looks like it'll include the completely uncut hardcore version sourced from the negative.

Excellent. Only have the Italian VHS.

Satan's Baby Doll uncut to go with it would be nice.

A hint dropped on FB for an upcoming title:

“This is just one film out of a thematically related box set: Apparently co-directed by the auteur behind one of the great Spanish gore films, this one stays true to its nationality and, despite being a horror film, was given a 'S' certificate.”

Lotsa people seem to think that hint refers to Satan's Blood, which isn't a bad guess.

Some hints about the secret Black Friday titles:

"One is a NYC area production and one is a LA area production. Both films have connections to previous VS releases (not directors/producers)."

Didn't Severin release the UNCUT porn version?

VS is doing Tammy & The T-Rex on 4k UHD!!!

[agent999 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close agent999]

I hope that leads to other UHDs, but I'm not touching that one.

It makes sense from a business perspective - test the waters with a title that has more mainstream appeal and see what happens.
