Frolic Pictures’ new limited edition grindhouse double feature DVDs
Now available online wherever DVDs are sold – Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, etc. Hand-selected by Hollywood exploitation filmmaker Jared Masters. A sordid combination of 80’s slashers, 70’s supernatural horror, cult comedies and juicy 60’s exploitation fare. Each DVD is a one-of-a-kind experience, like going to a drive-in back in the day, except in the comfort of your own home.
“…Glorious Grindhouse experience full of trailers for other films, old time commercials … and the whole thing plays together as one long double feature as if you were pulling up into a drive-in in your parents’ station wagon or sitting with your cutie trying to cop a feel in your teenage piece of shit car. It’s an incredibly fun way of presenting these types of cheesy films and I hope Frolic Pictures continues to put these pairings out with this much time and care put into them.” – Mark L Miller, Film critic
Each DVD is approximately three hours of shocking, bizarre, and tantalizing entertainment from a bygone era. Packed with cinematic surprises like short subjects, trailers, vintage TV commercials and intermission cartoons.
Digitally scanned from the original 35mm film prints! Be thrilled and pleasantly surprised with what the Maestro reveals across your screen. Screen in the background at parties, make a double feature night with other cinephile friends, or simply enjoy them alone, as you turn on, tune in and drop out of your semi-important responsibilities.
Just pop the DVD in and let it play, thanks to Frolic’s clever auto-starting video discs. It’s like there’s a projectionist grinding out rare film prints for you at your leisure. Whether you’ve been to a real grindhouse in the 70s or 80s, or whether you’re discovering the sensation for the first time, these limited edition Frolic Doubles make the perfect show for the avid horror, erotica and exploitation cinema fan.
