Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...

The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

Torn from yesterday's headlines, TRUE CRIME TRIPLE RIPPER presents a trio of pulpy exploitation volcanoes that are based on real-life killers—all torridly curated by AGFA and Something Weird.

THE SADIST aka SWEET BABY CHARLIE (1963, 92 mins, B&W)
Based on the murderous rampage of Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, THE SADIST stars Arch Hall, Jr. (EEGAH) in one of the most gripping and accomplished independent horror films of the 1960s.

THE OTHER SIDE OF BONNIE & CLYDE (1968, 61 mins, Color)
In the spirit of THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN, THE OTHER SIDE OF BONNIE & CLYDE is a surreal ficto-documentary from Larry Buchanan (ZONTAR, THE THING FROM VENUS).

THE ZODIAC KILLER: NOIR (1971/2025, 75 mins, B&W)
Newly color-graded in black and white and re-edited to resemble a grim horror-noir, THE ZODIAC KILLER: NOIR is a fresh take on the only horror movie in history that was made explicitly to catch a serial killer.
