MULVA: DEMON ASS KICKER (2026)

NEW LOWER PRICE! Screenwriter, musician, actor, no-budget visual effects guru: Throughout the ‘90s, Matthew Jason Walsh pretty much did it all during a long tenure with producer J.R. Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door”), including the ill-fated directorial debut “The Witching” in 1993. Several years later, Walsh finally came into his own with “Bloodletting,” expanding an earlier short made with future “Polymorph” stars James L. Edwards and Ariauna Albright into a feature-length parody of modern romantic relationships. Serena Stalin wanted to learn from the best. So she tracked down Butch Harlow, one of the world’s most notorious serial killers, and blackmailed him into teaching her the fine art of murder. Now, as the lessons begin, teacher and bloodthirsty student unleash an unspeakable passion that forces them to kill over and over again, leaving a trail of horribly mutilated victims in their wake... Painstakingly rebuilt & restored from archival Mini-DV videotape camera masters and packed with revealing behind-the-scenes bonus material, Tempe Digital carves up infamous SOV slasher “Bloodletting” on Blu-ray MOD!

BLOODLETTING (1997)

NOW AVAILABLE AS STANDARD BLU-RAY MOD! Two and a half decades before “The Walking Dead” made zombies mainstream on cable television, 19-year-old writer/director J.R. Bookwalter (“Ozone,” “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven”) embarked on “The Dead Next Door,” an ambitious horror feature pitting an elite team of Zombie Squad soldiers against hoards of the undead and the secretive religious cult hell-bent on protecting them. The film would ultimately take four years to complete with the help of a now-famous Hollywood director and more than 1,500 Northeast Ohio residents, who portrayed the multitudes of bloodthirsty ghouls. Tempe Digital's 2025 Blu-ray MOD and DVD MOD releases feature the 4:3 1080p HD master painstakingly created in 2015 from a 2K restoration using the original Super-8mm film elements along with a selection of key behind-the-scenes bonus materials and audio commentaries from previous releases. The Blu-ray edition includes an additional 5.1 surround mix which restores the voices of the original cast members.

THE DEAD NEXT DOOR (1990)

Indie cult veteran J.R. Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door,” “Robot Ninja,” “Ozone”) returns to the director’s chair after a 23-year absence with “Side Effects May Vary,” a ‘ripped from the headlines’ sci-fi/horror throwback inspired by ‘70s monster movie drive-in classics like “The Incredible Melting Man”! With the world gripped by a deadly pandemic, science denier Glenn Rollins turns to an experimental vaccine as treatment for a lingering sickness. Much to the surprise of his doctor, wife, and friends, the remedy immediately fixes what ails him. But Glenn will soon discover the only thing more fatal than the virus... is the cure!

SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY (2024)

In the wake of commercially successful debut feature “Killer Nerd” (1991) and its female-centric sequel “Bride of Killer Nerd” (1993), filmmaking partners Mark Steven Bosko and Wayne Alan Harold took an unexpected detour into John Waters territory for their third and final feature as co-directors. Down-on-their-luck lesbians Wanda (Nina Angeloff, “Bloodletting”) and Pearle (Lori Scarlett, “Ozone”) make a meager living out of seducing and murdering men. But when the couple decide to add a baby to the mix, their lifestyle becomes even more dangerous... “Despite its low, low budget, this kinky tale of a pair of likable lesbian serial killers is an inventive combination of “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer” and “Pink Flamingos”... an ironic thriller loaded with shockingly graphic splatter effects, sly humor and a surprise ending. Lesbian empowerment has never been so unnerving for the males in the audience!” - TLAVideo.com Content on this Blu-ray MOD disc has been sourced from the archival standard-definition one-inch video master with all-new cleanup and color grading!

Girlfriends (1993)

GIRLFRIENDS (1993)

THE STINK OF FLESH

TOWNIES

Following a chance encounter with MTV personality Toby Radloff, commercial video production partners Mark Steven Bosko and Wayne Alan Harold conceived “Killer Nerd” (1991) as a starring vehicle for the self-proclaimed “Genuine Nerd.” Shot on Super-VHS videotape, the story of a nerd out for revenge against those who have wronged him went on to become a surprise home video success. The trio soon reunited for “Bride of Killer Nerd” (1993), a clever sequel which adds an equally unstable female protagonist to the mix. A decade later, Radloff’s reputation as cult favorite would be cemented with “30 Rock” star Judah Friedlander’s portrayal of his real-life equivalent in the Academy Award-nominated 2003 comedy “American Splendor,” based on the life of comic book creator and longtime friend Harvey Pekar. Harold Kunkle is a nerd. Abused by street punks and teased by his mommy, Harold can’t take it anymore. Witness a bizarre and horrifying ritual of revenge as he embarks on a gut-wrenching orgy of gore in home video cult classic “Killer Nerd”! One year later, still haunted by the past and ready to end his own life, Harold meets Thelma Crump, a frumpy female doppelganger equally tired of being harassed by kids at school. Following an ill-fated party invitation, Thelma and Harold enact nerd-style vengeance in the more accomplished sequel “Bride of Killer Nerd”! Painstakingly restored from archival one-inch videotape masters with all-new cleanup and color grading, Tempe Digital debuts “Killer Nerd” and “Bride of Killer Nerd” on Blu-ray along with new and vintage behind the scenes bonus material.
