88 Films Releasing Bloodsucking Freaks & The Last Horror Show On Blu-ray

No nipple slicing but I think the scene "Her mouth will make an interesting urinal." is at risk. That and the girl scout caning and decapitation.

I think the distributor's only chance is to really sell it as a black comedy (which the film is but it's lost on many I think).

Electrodes on nipples etc.

Does anyone know why Bloodsucking Freaks keeps getting released under this title (that was given to it by Troma?). I suppose to obvious answer is because it's Troma releasing or licensing it. Does a print even exist with the original title anymore?

Also it's the most famous title it's known by.

It's about time we get a quality blu ray! There has only been bad looking VHS/dvd versions. I really hope everything is left intact. Although "Bloodsucking Freaks" has a mean streak to it, it's so over-the-top and tongue-in-cheek, I can't see anyone taking it seriously.

I first saw it when I was 12 and I didn't get a lot of the humor at the time up until the Cock Sandwich shot. Over the years of my sense humor developing I find myself laughing with it now. Plus the Eli Roth commentary is gold. I think the only kind of people who would be offended by it are either horror virgins or radical feminists that would bitch if they don't see a woman driving a vehicle in a movie.

That's the fella. I knew there was some nipple-related violence in there somewhere

It's been so long since I've seen this in full. I must dig out my DVD and revisit it sometime.

BLOODSUCKING FREAKS....ANOTHER classic cult movie that I have yet to see......

Just never appealed to me on the numerous occasions I have had to buy / borrow / watch a copy of it....

Sort of OT, but 88 Films' TOURIST TRAP Blu-ray has been put back to September! Fudge it!

Last Horror Film is almost good. It's basically Maniac Lite.

It's not quite the same as the good old pre-cert artwork, but hot damn I never thought I'd see anything like it on a retail release ever again. We live in a world where DVD cases can still be emblazoned with a picture of a woman being threatened by a broken bottle and that makes a sick little part of me very happy.

Bloodsucking Freaks is uncut.

Release date is 4/21/14.

[Alex K. Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Alex K.]

Nice.

Ha, they certainly know how to sell it. Glad to see it made it through uncut, though it would certainly would have been a significant step back if the BBFC had demanded trims.

I'm curious to know what elements they're using for the HD transfer. Bloodsucking Freaks has always looked pretty grotty, though that's partially because Troma's been recycling the same ancient master for decades. I'm not really sure what sort of materials I should expect to be available for a film like that.
