SHOUT! FACTORY PRESENTS

Not Of This Earth (1988) special edition dvd digitally remastered and presented in widescreen for the first time

-and-

The Terror Within/Dead Space double-feature dvd featuring cult favorite THE TERROR WITHIN in anamorphic widescreen and fan favorite Marc Singer and Bryan Cranston in DEAD SPACE

INVADING STORES NATIONWIDE ON NOVEMBER 2, 2010 FROM SHOUT! FACTORY

This November 2, 2010, get ready for a trio of science-fiction terror palooza when Shout! Factory, in association with New Horizons Picture Corporation will unleash Not of This Earth (1988) Special Edition DVD and The Terror Within/ Dead Space Double-Feature DVD from the popular Roger Corman’s Cult Classics home entertainment series.

Cult filmmaker Jim Wynorski (Big Bad Mama II, Chopping Mall) offers his rendition of Roger Corman’s 1957 cult classic Not of This Earth in the 1988 version, boasting campy performance of fan favorite Traci Lords (Blade, Cry-Baby). The double-feature DVD release of The Terror Within and Dead Space offers fearful futuristic thrills on Earth and in outer space.  A must-have for horror fans and collectors, aggregate your Roger Corman movie collection with these two latest home entertainment releases from Roger Corman’s Cult Classics. Each DVD is sold separately with $19.93 SRP.

Not of This Earth is out of this world!

“I directed the original Not of This Earth in 1957, a film which uniquely combined sci-fi and vampire genres. When director Jim Wynorski first approached me to remake the film, I was skeptical of messing with a classic. However, Jim convinced me with some interesting casting choices, including 20-year-old Traci Lords in the Beverly Garland role.” — Roger Corman

In Los Angeles, a mysterious stranger (Arthur Roberts, Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke, Revenge of the Ninja) arrives in town and hires Nadine Story (Lords) as his private nurse. Although the pay is great, she becomes more and more suspicious of this mysterious stranger when his requests for blood transfusions become more frequent and insistent. After some amateur detective work, Nadine finds out that her new boss is not who — or what — he appears to be. In fact, he’s from another world!

Not of This Earth was a remake of executive producer Corman’s 1957 sci-fi horror classic, which he had himself produced and directed. Eager to capitalize on the thrills and chills of the original story while adding a fresh, more contemporary layer of black comedy and camp humor, Corman tapped producer/director Wynorski to take on the project. Not only did Wynorski accept the challenge of remaking one of his mentor’s most popular early films, but he vowed his could do it in less time than Corman had, 31 years before! According to Hollywood legend, the original film took Corman 12 days to make, and the remake took Wynorski 12 days to make!

The film marked Traci Lords’ transition from adult film roles to mainstream roles. Not only did she contribute a generous dose of beauty and sex appeal, as well as a dollop of box-office-friendly controversy, but the actress proved the naysayers wrong by impressing critics and audiences alike with a witty, sassy performance as the quick-thinking heroine, Nadine Story.

Not of This Earth proceeded to break box-office records with an immediate profit that paid for its production within days … if not hours!

NOT OF THIS EARTH SPECIAL EDITION DVD BONUS CONTENT:

New anamorphic widescreen transfer (1.78:1)
Nadine’s Story – a new interview with Traci Lords
New audio commentary with Traci Lords and director Jim Wynorski

In the future, fear is dominant — whether on Earth or in deep space, as is proven in truly horrific fashion by the double-feature collector’s edition DVD release of The Terror Within and Dead Space.

In the aftermath of a chemically-induced plague that has decimated most of the world, the only survivors are a small group of scientists trapped in a hi-tech laboratory located 500 feet beneath the surface of the Mojave Desert. But, as they are soon discover, they are not alone …

The Terror Within features an intense ensemble cast headed by Academy Award®  winner George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke, the Naked Gun trilogy, the Airport series), Golden Globe Award® nominee Andrew Stevens (The Fury, The Boys in Company C), Terri Treas (The Nest, TV’s Alien Nation) and Starr Andreeff (Dance of the Damned, Breast Men).

Marc Singer (The Beastmaster,V) and two-time Emmy Award winner® Bryan Cranston (TV’s Breaking Bad,  Malcolm in the Middle) find themselves in deep space — and deep trouble — in the sci-fi chiller Dead Space, a loose remake of Corman’s Forbidden World.

For years, Phaebon had been thought to be a safe and controlled scientific research facility until an emergency distress signals calls for Commander Kreiger (Singer) and his robot sidekick, Tinpan. Together, they fight to save the planet from a spreading virus and an odd, growing alien cocoon. Despite Kreiger’s heroism, is it too late to save the menace from possibly engulfing the galaxy?

Independent filmmaker-producer Roger Corman’s illustrious career ranks as one of Hollywood’s most amazing and legendary success stories. Having produced more than 350 films and directed 50 others, his influence on American film goes far beyond his own energetic, creative low-budget movies. He is arguably one of Hollywood’s most gifted and masterful filmmakers, and he chronicled his incredible true-life story in the best-selling, award-winning autobiography How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime, written with Jim Jerome in 1998. In 2009 he was the recipient of an honorary Academy Award® for his contribution to the medium of film.

Noted for his keen ability to spot young talent, Corman’s most lasting legacy will undoubtedly be the legion of producers, directors, writers and actors he has fostered, among them: Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Ron Howard, Peter Fonda, Jonathan Demme, Robert Towne, Gale Anne Hurd, Diane Ladd, Tommy Lee Jones, Sandra Bullock, Bruce Dern, Talia Shire, Charles Bronson, Joe Dante, Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Hopper, Bill Paxton, Monte Hellman, Carl Franklin and Sally Kirkland.

SHOUT! FACTORY TO RELEASE 7-DVD BOX SET FRANK SINATRA: CONCERT COLLECTION AND SINGLE DVD CONCERT FOR THE AMERICAS

FEATURING UNFORGETTABLE TELEVISON AND CONCERT PERFORMANCES WITH AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF GUEST STARS AND PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL

FRANK SINATRA: CONCERT COLLECTION IN STORES NOVEMBER 2
CONCERT FOR THE AMERICAS IN STORES DECEMBER 14

Los Angeles, CA – Shout! Factory celebrates one of the most important and beloved entertainers of our time with the November 2 release of the 7-DVD box set Frank Sinatra: Concert Collection, which contains over 14 hours of television and concert performances from the ’50s through the ’80s, including four previously unreleased specials, a box-set exclusive compilation of vintage performances, and a 44-page book featuring rare photographs and notes by Sinatra scholar Bill Zehme. Concert For The Americas, included in the set, will be released separately on December 14.

The Frank Sinatra Enterprises collection begins with Sinatra’s first television special, A Man And His Music, broadcast in 1965 on NBC to commemorate Sinatra’s 50th birthday. The spectacular performances include favorites “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “Come Fly With Me” and “The Lady Is A Tramp.”

A Man And His Music Part II, with special guest Nancy Sinatra (1966, CBS), thrills from start to finish, with unforgettable performances of signature songs such as “Luck Be A Lady” and “That’s Life.” Sinatra opens the show with his celebrated Quincy Jones arrangement of “Fly Me To The Moon.” Nancy Sinatra, clad from head to toe in pink fringe (and signature boots), sings “Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” and “On Broadway,” followed by a series of duets with her father that includes “Downtown,” and “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” 

On the truly memorable A Man And His Music + Ella + Jobim (1967, NBC), the dazzling Ella Fitzgerald performs two equally impressive solo numbers: the haunting “Body And Soul” and the swinging “It’s All Right With Me.” Fitzgerald is then joined by Sinatra in a historic pairing of the two preeminent vocal talents of the era. The following sequence, particularly treasured by music lovers, is Sinatra’s only filmed meeting with Brazilian composer, guitarist, singer Antonio Carlos Jobim, who joins Sinatra for a stunningly intimate medley of the Brazilian composer’s classics, including “Change Partners,” “I Concentrate On You” and “The Girl From Ipanema.”

Sinatra: The Man And His Music (1981, NBC), is the final installment of the series, occurring 16 years after the first A Man And His Music special, and a few weeks before his 66th birthday. Working with three different ensembles, including the accompaniment of the legendary Count Basie and his orchestra, performances include George Harrison’s “Something,” and his climactic “Theme From New York, New York”, “Pennies From Heaven,” and “The Best Has Yet To Come.”

The set continues with Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back (1973, NBC), a comeback special filmed after the Chairman’s brief retirement in the early ’70s.  Filmed in front of a live audience on a soundstage in Hollywood but with the feel of an intimate concert, this magical hour proves the Chairman hadn’t lost a step. The special features classic performances of “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “I’ve Got The World On A String,” as well as a guest appearance by the incomparable Gene Kelly, Sinatra’s costar from three classic song-and-dance epics of the ’40s.

Charged with the electricity of a heavyweight prizefight, Sinatra: The Main Event (1974, ABC) was filmed live at Madison Square Garden. Accompanied by celebrated clarinetist and bandleader Woody Herman, augmented by New York musicians and a string section, Sinatra dazzles the crowd with contemporary numbers such as “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life,” “Let Me Try Again,” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” as well as signature tunes “My Kind Of Town” and “My Way.”

During Sinatra In Concert At Royal Festival Hall (1970, BBC) Princess Grace of Monaco introduces Sinatra to the adoring crowd. Sinatra was very proud of this concert, which was produced as a benefit for the United World Colleges Fund, held in London’s Royal Festival Hall, and televised by the BBC. Highlights include “Pennies From Heaven,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “One For My Baby.”

The incredibly rare concert Sinatra In Japan: Live At The Budokan Hall, Tokyo (1985) has only been released in Japan. Entering his 70th year, Ol’ Blue Eyes never sounded better. Opening with “The Lady Is A Tramp,” Sinatra is completely supercharged throughout the entire performance.  He commands the stage, delivering bravura performances of “Strangers In The Night” and “Come Rain Or Come Shine.” This 1985 performance is one of the greatest of his entire career.

Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing (1968, CBS) was a memorable night of television on many levels. Having established himself in American households with his previous A Man And His Music specials, Sinatra made a bold move in 1968, in the middle of the civil rights era, with a special celebration of black music and its impact on American popular culture. Highlights include a medley of spirituals sung with Diahann Carroll and a swingin’ pop interlude with chart-toppers The 5th Dimension.

In Sinatra (1969, CBS), the final installment in what had become an annual tradition of televised specials, Sinatra casts a backward glance at some of the highlights of a storied career. He also provides a glimpse into his musical future with an early rendition of “My Way.”

Spanning multiple genres and featuring some of the leading names in pop and country, the rarely seen special Sinatra And Friends (1977, ABC) offers wall-to-wall performances. Guests include Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, Loretta Lynn and John Denver, all of whom return one-by-one for a final embrace with Sinatra as he sings “Everybody Ought To Be In Love.”

Concert For The Americas (1982, Showtime) was recorded at the Altos de Chavón Amphitheater, a 5000-seat open-air Greek-style amphitheater in the Dominican Republic. This 90-minute epic performance features the legendary Buddy Rich on drums and a special guest appearance by guitarist Tony Mottola on a memorable rendition of “Send In The Clowns.” This is the first-ever U.S. DVD release of this spectacular concert. Concert For The Americas will also be released separately on November 2.

The box set also includes two rare specials that feature classic 1950s TV performances, plus an additional compilation of never-before-released vintage clips. Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank (1957, ABC) pairs the two most beloved entertainers of the era in a holiday special, and the result is an intimate and timeless classic event, packed with holiday favorites and plenty of Christmas cheer.

The 2003 PBS special Vintage Sinatra offers a look back at Sinatra’s television performances prior to the beginning of the A Man And His Music series. With classic performances from his 1957–58 ABC television series, Ol’ Blue Eyes is in peak form as he treats the viewing audience to show-stopping versions of “Come Fly With Me,” “Too Marvelous For Words” and “I’ve Got The World On A String.” Also included as a box-set exclusive are 10 previously unreleased television performances.

Nancy Sinatra once said of her father, “When he sang about loneliness, it’s because he had experienced the deepest sorrow and despair, and we are all aware of the happiness, the delight, he felt singing the other songs, be they ballads or up-tempo – because, if we are not looking at him, we can, literally, hear him smile.” His emotions, his life experience, his incomparable ability to interpret the intent of the composers and arrangers are captured in these specials, encapsulating the seasons of his legacy, preserving forever the presence of a timeless and great man, and reminding us just how real he was and ever will be.

SWEET DREAMS JOIN SHOUT! FACTORY AND ROGER CORMAN FOR THE ULTIMATE SLEEPOVERS

SHOUT! FACTORY PRESENTS THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE COLLECTION – 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD

ALL THREE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE FILMS IN ONE COLLECTION, WITH KILLER BONUS FEATURES

A triple feature of nightmarish proportions with THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE: Special Edition, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III

Drilling into stores October 5, 2010 from Shout! Factory

Stay up all night with the films that put a new twist on the slasher genre. Along with Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th(1980) and Prom Night (1980), Slumber Party Massacre (1982) helped define the slasher film ethos of the 1980s.  Put together by first-time director Amy Holden from a script, titled “Don’t Open the Door,” by feminist author Rita Mae Brown (Rubyfruit Jungle), the film was an immediate hit for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures, eventually spawning two sequels.

Here, for the first time, all three Slumber Party Massacres are brought together in one DVD set, due to drill its way into your heart on Oct. 5, 2010 from Shout! Factory, in association with New Horizons Picture Corporation. The 2-DVD set includes The SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE: Special Edition, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II, and SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III, as well as such killer all-new bonus features as a three-part documentary, “Sleepless Nights: Revisiting The Slumber Party Massacres,” a photo and poster still gallery, and an essay on the Slumber Party phenomenon, “Close Your Eyes For A Second  …  And Sleep Forever.” A must have collection for all slasher fans and collectors of Roger Corman’s Cult Classics, own the complete set for $24.97 SRP.

Thanks in part to a brilliant marketing campaign pushing a feminist angle because the film was written, produced and directed by women, the story of a girls’ basketball team drilled to death at their celebratory slumber party became a staple in mom-and-pop corner video stores of the 1980s. Bulked in with the “best” of the early slashers, The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) had a secret weapon: a wicked little brain and a dark sense of humor layered between the three nude scenes and one very brief sex scene. The girls take on the masculine roles (playing sports, working as telephone repair women, basketball coaches, carpenters and always willing to fight back against the “Driller Killer”), while the somewhat effeminate boys made the stupid decisions typically played out by women in the subgenre. Additionally, the boys died more violently on screen than their counterparts.

In The Slumber Party Massacre, 18-year-old high schooler Trish (Michelle Michaels) decides to invite her high school girls’ basketball teammates over for a slumber party. What she doesn’t know is that the girls will get an uninvited guest — Russ Thorn,  an escaped mental patient and murderer of five people who’s weapon of choice is a portable power drill.

The only sane survivor of the first incident, Courtney (Crystal Bernard of “Wings” fame), dreams of the driller killer returning in the first sequel, Slumber Party Massacre II (1987). She can’t help shake the feeling that she and her friends will be viciously tormented by the killer. Her nightmare becomes reality when the killer returns, reincarnated as an evil rocker with a deadly guitar, who goes about slaying more teens.

The final, installment, Slumber Party Massacre III (1990), is a reimagining of the first film, but with more gore and violence. After a relaxing day at the beach, a group of teens decide to have a slumber party. Their boyfriends predictably show up to scare them, but there is something much scarier lurking in the shadows as the group starts getting attacked by an unknown killer with a fixation on drilling.
