  • The Soultangler

    I'm intrigued.

    "Insane genius Dr. Anton Lupesky has worked in seclusion to develop the experimental drug Anphorium, which allows its user to inhabit any fresh corpse they wish. But this medical miracle has its price, as it transforms its user into a rabid maniac bent on the annihilation of our species. This epic of outsider filmmaking creates a unique, sometimes dreamlike suspension that's punctuated with jarring moments of severe visceral hysteria. Though the actors are friends and in-laws and the sets are basements and garages, there's an earnest devotion to truly unique storytelling that elevates The Soultangler beyond kitsch and into deeply unsettling territory. If H.P. Lovecraft rose from his grave in the late '80s with a 16mm camera, ten severed heads, and a case of Schlitz, this would be the result.

    Produced on Long Island by filmmaker Pat Bishow, The Soultangler was briefly released on VHS in Canada and Korea before disappearing completely. The BLEEDING SKULL! VIDEO release of The Shoultangler marks the first release of the movie on home video in the United States.


    Released by Mondo Video and Bleeding Skull Video. Includes Minimum Underdrive No. 2. and digital download code. On Black Cassette and randomly inserted Yellow cassette. Directed by Pat Bishow. 1987 / Color / 90 Minutes."

      I would check this out. Kind of a crappy title though - SOULTANGER is cooler. Wouldn't doubt for a second that powdery orange substance could turn you homicidal.

          This is on Exploitation TV now, watched it last night. It takes a bit of time to get going but once it gets there, it's nuts. Definitely worth checking out. Lots of fun, great gore, wacky characters and some sweet Long Island locations.

                  NOICE! Maybe 2018 will be the year where we see a DVD release materialize for Cards of Death.

                    Alamo Drafthouse's American Genre Film Archive, the largest non-profit genre film archive in the world, and Bleeding Skull!, the site and series of books dedicated to celebrating ultra-obscure genre movies, are excited to announce a March 13, 2018 release date for THE SOULTANGLER on DVD. After a successful run of limited edition releases with Mondo, the art boutique of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Bleeding Skull! has teamed up with AGFA to share wild horror and exploitation movies from the 1980s and 1990s with the world. THE SOULTANGLER is the first release in this ongoing partnership.

                    If RE-ANIMATOR was shot on Long Island for the price of a used car, THE SOULTANGLER would be the result. Insane genius Dr. Anton Lupesky has developed a drug that allows users to inhabit corpses and transform into rabid maniacs! Can reporter Kim Castle stop the carnage and save our species from annihilation?! This epic of outsider filmmaking is a dream-like wasteland that's punctuated with severed heads, evil beasties, and hooded slashers. Filmed in basements and garages, director Pat Bishow's earnest devotion to storytelling in the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft elevates THE SOULTANGLER beyond kitsch and into heavenly territory.

                    "Before now, THE SOULTANGLER was only ever released on VHS," said AGFA director Joe Ziemba. "We're so excited to bring this mind-bending movie to a wider audience, and it's a perfect title to kick off the new collaboration between AGFA and Bleeding Skull."

                    Special features include:
                    - Transferred from the original 1" master tapes!
                    - Unseen 62 minute alternate director's cut!
                    - Commentary track with director Pat Bishow!
                    - Behind the scenes footage!
                    - Trailers for THE SOULTANGLER and DEAD OF NIGHT TOWN!
                    - Music video for "Wow" by Hypnolovewheel!
                    - Liner notes by Bleeding Skull's Zack Carlson!
                    - Reversible cover art!
