The Notorious Horror Classic! Now on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray!
Frank Zito (a career performance by writer/executive producer Joe Spinell of ROCKY and THE GODFATHER fame) is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.
Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP 2, VIGILANTE) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this relentlessly shocking and disturbing film was originally banned or censored all over the world due to its graphic violence.

MANIAC (3-Disc Limited Edition) Blu-ray Reviews:
* "5 out of 5! It is sourced from an outstanding 4K remaster that will end up being the final makeover that the film gets on the home video market. The bonus material that was gathered for the release...is beyond overwhelming. Simply put, the folks at Blue Underground went to work to produce the definitive home video release of MANIAC and they delivered it. As far as I am concerned this is the type of top-quality work that deserves a perfect overall score. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"- Blu-ray.com
* "5 out of 5! This new 4K restoration of the original true 16MM negatives looks absolutely stellar. The folks at Blue Underground have absolutely done this film justice with this new 'Limited Edition' Blu-ray Disc release. It's sheer perfection in every single area. 5 across the board here for ratings, and that's something very rare for me to be able to justify!" - High Def Disc News
* "MANIAC is a horror classic. Blue Underground has treated it as such. A near flawless transfer, thoughtful audio commentaries, and a wealth of extras. As a result, MANIAC is a 'Top 10 Blu-Rays of the Year' level release. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!" - The Movie Isle
* "10 out of 10! Blue Underground are heads and shoulders the fan's company as they are bringing us all these amazing films from our youth in stunning high definition and amazing quality with a lot of great special features. MANIAC on Blu-ray is a must buy!" - Wicked Channel
* "Almost forty years later, MANIAC has lost none of its power to shock... Blue Underground's Blu-ray reissue is a thing of morbid beauty, presenting the picture in a gorgeous new transfer, with really strong audio and with a couple of important new extras and all of the archival material from past editions as well. Highly recommended" - Rock! Shock! Pop!
* "MANIAC is just not a film you can ignore . . . especially in its final moments. Blue Underground presents the 4K restoration of MANIAC on Blu-ray with stunning results. With an upgrade in sound and in vision, this low budget shocker, originally filmed on 16mm, looks almost new again!" - Reel Reviews
How is everyone's Social Distancing going? SD is the word of the year, that is this week. Anyway I am using this time creatively and to try and binge watch HBO's The Outsider which I did DVR , but have yet to view. "Yes" this is what it's come to minions, stay safe and healthy it's time for me to do my weekly thang! Watched Ma with Octavia Spencer yesterday, I hope she got paid well... Perhaps we should unplug2020, wait 10 seconds and try plugging it back in to see what happens No matter how bored you get, just say no to texting your ex May the strap on be with you
There's still good in this world, Porn Hub is offering it's premium service free to the people of Italy So glad I don't have children during this time. I'm sure they would try to make me learn Tik Tok dances The plan isn't always the plan, especially when one gets punched in the mouth Right now I am thinking: "What would Pee Wee Herman do?" it's my happy place 😊

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I know we are all pretty much confined to our respective dwellings, but if you want to celebrate you can. Seriously, why can't you party with your bad self at home? So here is a throwback sort of Tunesday Tuesday song that I am sure is in everyone's topical minds. It's The Knack performing My Sharona. When the Corona Virus first hit I, like many of you, wondered when someone was going to parody this song and insert Corona for Sharona. Admit it, you know you did! While I have seen many memes to this effect, no one, yet has to do an actual song parody. Too soon probably since we are in the thick of it. Thus I leave you with The Knack singing one of my favorite songs of all time My Sharona. Mic Drop!
A little while back, in the day, I went to the Grand Opening of Silverback Coffee of Rwanda in Echo Park, CA. Some of the actors from filmmaker Robert Hensley's upcoming project Family Affair were there. One of them happened to be Jeremiah Hahn who portrays Martin in it. Thus I took out my smart phone hit the voice recorder app and chatted Jeremiah up about the movie, here is what transpired... MS: I don't know whole lot about Family Affair, give me some 411. JH: Well, Robert and I have been trying to work together over the years and this project really came together well. I love the character he cast me for, the therapist, he's a window into one of the lead characters. It was a lot of fun to be able to find some truth to that human being and help move the story forward by providing that window. Working with Robert is so much fun! MS: That's always fun for an actor, I've been there, done that (laughs) JH: Yeah, Robert isn't like you can only do your part a certain way he allows for an actor's creativity.

Crypt TV
MS: I hear you are also on Crypt TV, which, being a horror fan, I'm surprised I didn't hear about until now. JH: Crypt TV has such a great pedigree, and they're so experimental with the different things they do. It's giving a lot of young voices a platform. MS: I like that the Entertainment Industry has become more expansive. JH: There are like 530 scripted series in production. MS: Wow! I wasn't aware there were that many. JH: You couldn't get through all of them in a year. (laughs) It's great there are so many options for everyone. MS: How do you choose what you watch? JH: If three people recommend it, then I watch it (laughs) MS: Congratulations, on everything! JH: Thanks!
