PRODUCT INFORMATION
Three young couples head off into the woods for a weekend of camping, beer-guzzling and love-making. Shortly into their trip, however, one of their group, Kiyomi, notices the strange sound of bells ringing in the distance, prompting her would-be boyfriend Mel to investigate. Upon stumbling across a Civil War cemetery, Mel makes the ill-fated decision to pocket an old diary he finds hidden at the site, which details the violent fate of the Confederate soldiers buried there. Little does he realize that this seemingly small act of theft will have grave consequences, as its pilfering triggers a horde of rotting, undead soldiers to awaken from their tortured slumber, ready to feast on Yankee flesh!
The second feature from producer/director Tony Malanowski, THE CURSE OF THE SCREAMING DEAD (aka Curse of the Cannibal Confederates) came into being when Malanowski was offered money by the distributor of his first film, Night of Horror, to shoot additional gore scenes for that picture - and decided to make a new movie altogether! Taking the basic premise of Night of Horror (and several cast members for good measure), Malanowski’s second directorial effort dramatically ups the ante, filling its runtime with grisly zombie action, complete with innumerable exploding heads and lingering scenes of gleefully gooey entrail-chomping. Now lovingly restored in 2K from its original 16mm camera reversal by the gut-munching ghouls at Vinegar Syndrome, THE CURSE OF THE SCREAMING DEAD claws its way up from the dirt, loaded with a veritable feast of newly-produced extras telling the fascinating story behind the making of this regional zombie epic, alongside a new restoration of Night of Horror, all hitting Blu-ray for the very first time!

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
