Second secret title: The Invisible Maniac (MGM). Hints: and the other, a long overlooked American horror supernatural gem that we're proudly bring to BD for the first time. We can basically guarantee that you're not gonna be disappointed… …plus a no-less nuts, never on disc piece of American horror sleaze, lovingly restored for Blu-ray. …brutal [supernatural] revenge… …the other, another deep dive into the MGM vaults, has long languished in an incorrectly framed 15-20 year old cable master (Cinemax), an error we have dutifully corrected, and for which we've created an extensive new making-of doc, including fresh interviews with its director, producer, stars, and crew… One is a hidden gem from the direct-to-video era with one of the wildest takes on a 'tried and true' exploitation narrative, and comes to BD for the first time ever… Adam Rifkin stated on the latest Best Movies Never Made podcast that his film THE INVISIBLE MANIAC is finally coming to Blu-ray from a 4K scan and that he couldn't go into more but that an announcement would be coming very soon.

I hope that turns out to be correct. THE INVISIBLE MANIAC is a title I've been looking forward to revisiting. I remember it being nastier than expected.

I hope so, too - mainly because I'm sick of seeing people mentioning it on BR.com in every other post in the VS forum for the last two years.

Couldn't resist Ebola Syndrome. Wasn't expecting a UHD + uncut too. Also picked up Smut Without Smut 2 (hate the concept, but at least it has three uncut films), Creature and the Scanner Cop films (they were way overpriced before).

[Matt H. Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Matt H.]

Yeah, I was waiting for the SCANNER COP films to be discounted too. I did the flash pre-order, plus I grabbed the TIGER CLAWS trilogy, HITCHER IN THE DARK, Smut Without Smut 2, RANCHO DELUXE and The Scare Film Archives Vol. 1.

Smut Without Smut 2

I still haven't figured this out. so this is basically porn with all the porn cut out?

....

the only new title I grabbed is ebola syndrome - I think the rest will be still available during their next sale!

The first volume was two softcore films made even softer, but at least they included the full versions as a bonus. This seems to be a compilation of cut down hardcore plus other related stuff as a drive in mode programme. Thankfully it has three full hardcore movies as a bonus. I'm convinced the only reason AGFA cut these down is for cinemas that can't show hardcore and sell alcohol at the same time. Sorry state of affairs when a man can't have a beer while wanking off in a cinema.

It seems from the 2022 previews that they'll be releasing the Doris Wishman box (or boxes) from the AGFA restorations. I'm guessing that will be the Peekarama box that was mentioned along with the bit about the new Wishman restorations.

Agreed, but supposedly it is coming soonish from someone.

A subscriber newsletter posted on Facebook has revealed a few more upcoming titles for next year including Horror High and Arabella Black Angel. Apparently a release of Patrice Rhomm's Draguse (starring Monica Swinn! attn: Franco fanatics) was scheduled for this year but has been delayed.

And the big news for fans of the inimitable C.J. Laing: there's a double feature of Roberta Findlay's Anyone But My Husband and Sweet Punkin coming in January! I believe it's Sweet Punkin in which the narrator says, during a threesome involving Laing, Tony 'The Hook' Perez, and John Holmes, "Wow, she must have a yard of cock inside her!"

The Patrice Rhomm film ia supposed to be the UNCUT 2hr hardcore version.

In addition to the above, here is what we know about the Peekarama titles for next year (copied from the VS Facebook group):

1 ) ANYONE BUT MY HUSBAND / SWEET PUNKIN, I LOVE YOU
2 ) Jean-Franí§ois Davy box (EXHIBITION / EXHIBITION 2 / EXHIBITION 79)
3 ) DRAGUSE (The Infernal Mansion)
4 ) THE BEAST IN SPACE
5 ) "Doris Wishman" (likely a double feature of COME WITH ME MY LOVE and SATAN WAS A LADY - the original on the latter title)
6 ) ???
7 ) ???
8 ) ???
There's also still the two Pulse adult double features in the works.

Also reply from Lee Jones mentions the following about the first Peekarama boxset:

MUCH more planned for the Exhibition set than those three films. If all goes well, it'll include 7 titles, including two narratives features.
