Shrooms Director’s ‘Red Mist’ (FreakDog) Gets DVD Date
From the director of SHROOMS. Riveting. Raw. Relentless. What started as a harmless prank spins out of control, turning medical science into an avenging angel of death in Anchor Bay Entertainment’s Red Mist (aka FreakDog), making its DVD debut on February 10, 2009.
For dangerous and depraved loner Kenneth (Andrew Lee Potts), life at the hospital where he works is a series of endless torments from a group of ambitious medical students. But when they decide to teach him “a lesson,” he ends up in a coma and practically brain dead. Guilt-ridden Catherine (Kebbel), determined to save his life, administers a powerful and untested cocktail of drugs to the coma victim. Rather than cure him, however, it triggers a powerful “out-of-body” experience and enables Kenneth to temporarily inhabit other people’s bodies and, through them, take revenge on those responsible for his “vegetative” state.
As her colleagues are savagely picked off one-by-one, Catherine soon realizes what started as a medical miracle has now transformed into a medical monstrosity. She is forced to confront a comatose killer who moves in and out of bodies at will, getting ever closer to her as his supernatural powers increase.
Red Mist features a top cast headed by the lovely Arielle Kebbel (The Grudge 2, John Tucker Must Die!, “Gilmore Girls” and 2009’s The Uninvited with Elizabeth Banks), Sarah Carter (Final Destination 2, DOA: Dead or Alive, “Shark”), Andrew Lee Potts (“Primeval,” 1408, Return to House on Haunted Hill) and Emmy

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!
The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!
A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.
Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”
“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.
“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.
“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”
Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.
The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
