Wow, what a title. Let me tell you, horror and trailer parks fit in pretty good here at Backwoods Horror, so when I first read about TRAILER PARK OF TERROR, I nearly dropped a load. Here’s the synopsis from our favourite boils and ghouls over at Shock Till You Drop:
Six troubled high school students and their chaperon, an optimistic youth ministries Pastor, return from an outdoor character building retreat in the mountains. During a raging storm, their bus crashes, hopelessly stranding them in the middle of the Trucker’s Triangle, a forgotten locus of consummate evil in the middle of nowhere. The hapless group seeks shelter for the night in a seemingly abandoned trailer park they find down the road. However, when the sun sets, it’s not refuge they find. Instead, terror finds them in the form of Norma, a damned redneck reaper with a killer body who dispenses vengeance and death aided by her cursed companions, a bloodthirsty brood of Undead trailer trash.
Sounds like one hell of a good time. The DVD art has just been released (see below) and you can expect to see the DVD on October 21, 2008. So get your netflix queues greased up so you can slide this flick on in when it comes out. I’ve got a shit-ton of pics for you and a trailer to boot. Check it out:
Here’s the DVD Cover art. You’ll find more pics after the break.

HOT DAMN! I’ve only been able to find PIECES on el cheapola discs forever in the dollar bin. Good to see this classic getting the respect it deserves. I’ll probably get THE BEYOND as well, even though I’ve already shelled out a few bucks for it previously, the new edition has a few little extras I’d like. Check out the cover art below!
Slow day, newswise, in relation to horror. About the only thing of any real interest is news of a forthcoming 30th anniversary 6-disc dvd set for Halloween (The Original). This set will include the original 1978 edition, the long out of print extended edition, the 25 Years of Terror Documentary, a BluRay disc, and a mini Michael Myers Mask. Could be cool, but, I mean, this is what, the 6th or 7th release of Halloween? Guess I’ll wait for the 100 disc Uber-Deluxe BRUTAL Edition. Ha! Keep checking back here for Art and more specs.
UPDATE: Check Out The Packaging to the 30th Anniversary, 6-Disc Halloween DVD Release Below:
The boils and ghouls over at Fangoria got their hands on the cover art for the new PumpkinHead DVD set to be released September 9th. It’s a lenticular cover (which means it sort of has that hologram effect where the cover changes depending on the angle). Take a peek at said cover art below:
Shock Until You Drop just released the DVD art and specs for the release of Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat. I read about this flick in Bruce Campbell’s autobiography If Chins Could Kill, but have never seen it, mostly because it can’t really be found except maybe on VHS on ebay where copies have sold for as much as $100. But now it’s going to be going into my netflix list when released on September 23rd.
The special features will include:
• Memories of Moab featurette (an all-new interview with Bruce Campbell)
• A Vampire Reformed featurette (all-new interview with David Carradine)
• The Making of Sundown featurette
• Audio commentary with director Anthony Hickox and director of photography Levie Isaacks
• Photo Gallery
According to Wikipedia: A colony of vampires takes over a ghost town of Purgatory, and under the leadership of Jozek Mardulak are developing a method of making artificial plasma. But another elder, Jefferson, who abhors the idea of vampires being anything other than predators, organizes a revolution. At the same time, a descendant of the original Abraham Van Helsing (played by Bruce Campbell) shows up, trying to fulfil his family “destiny.” David Carradine plays the lead Vampire named Jozek Mardulak.
Below you’ll find a “trailer” (made by a fan) I found on YouTube and the dvd art, as well as original poster art…
