Enter the Video Store: Empire of Screams (Blu-ray, 2023, 5-Disc, Arrow Video

Description: Product DescriptionRemember the shelves of your local video store? Those days aren’t gone! Reject reality and substitute your own with Arrow Video! In 1983, entrepreneurial producer and director Charles Band founded Empire International Pictures, which would go on to make some of the most memorable and beloved genre movies of the 1980s. Empire became a mainstay of video stores across the world with their catchy titles, outlandish art, and Band’s wholehearted belief in giving audiences a good time.In The Dungeonmaster (AKA Ragewar), computer programmer Paul Bradford is sucked into a fantasy world by Mestema, a demonic sorcerer in search of a worthy opponent. Meanwhile, fresh from the one-two punch of Re-Animator and From Beyond, director Stuart Gordon takes a turn toward fairytale gothic in Dolls, in which a group of strangers find themselves forced to seek shelter at the isolated home of an old toymaker and his wife, only to find that the puppets and dolls have a vicious life of their own. In Cellar Dweller, a comic book artist (Jeffrey Combs) with a penchant for the macabre takes inspiration from an ancient tome and unleashes an ancient evil. Arena presents the ultimate fight night event: man vs monster! In the far future of 4038, a short order cook becomes the first human in fifty years to compete in an intergalactic boxing event on the far side of the universe. Finally in Robot Jox, Stuart Gordon directs Empire Pictures’ most ambitious movie yet, as men and women pilot giant machines in gladiatorial battle to settle international disputes over territory.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS2K restorations by Arrow Films from the best available materialsHigh Definition Blu-Ray (1080p) presentations of all five filmsOriginal lossless mono/stereo/5.1 audio optionsOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingSlipcase packaging featuring original artwork by Laurie GreasleyReversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ilan SheadyDISC ONE - THE DUNGEONMASTERHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of three different versions of the film: the US theatrical version (The Dungeonmaster), the pre-release version (Ragewar), and the international version (Ragewar) available via seamless branchingAND MORE!DISC TWO - DOLLSHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation from a 2K restoration of the film’s 35mm interpositiveThree audio commentariesToys of Terror: The Making of DollsAND MORE!DISC THREE - CELLAR DWELLERHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation featuring additional grading and picture restoration by Arrow FilmsAudio commentaryGrabbed by the Ghoulies, an appreciation of John Carl Buechler, special make-up effects artist of many Empire Pictures films and director of Cellar Dweller by film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainAND MORE!DISC FOUR - ARENAHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation from a 2K restoration of a 35mm printAudio commentaryNot His Arena, an interview with Danny Bilson, co-screenwriter of Arena, Trancers, Zone Troopers, and The RocketeerAND MORE!DISC FIVE - ROBOT JOX2K High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation from a restoration of the original camera negativeTwo audio commentariesCrash and Burn, an interview with actor Gary GrahamHer Name is Athena, an interview with actress Anne-Marie JohnsonAND MORE!Product detailsMPAA rating ‏ : ‎ R (Restricted)Package Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.77 x 5.47 x 2.2 inches; 5.92 ouncesDirector ‏ : ‎ John Carl Buechler, Stuart Gordon, Charles Band, Peter Manoogian, David AllenMedia Format ‏ : ‎ NTSC, Anamorphic, Import, WidescreenRun time ‏ : ‎ 7 hours and 7 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ December 12, 2023Actors ‏ : ‎ Paul Satterfield, Claudia Christian, Yvonne De Carlo, Debrah Farentino, Ian Patrick WilliamsSubtitles: ‏ : ‎ EnglishStudio ‏ : ‎ ArrowASIN ‏ : ‎ B0CJ5XPY3JCountry of Origin ‏ : ‎ CanadaNumber of discs ‏ : ‎ 5
