Details

This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) and associated t-shirt bundle was limited to 1,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

VHSHITFEST has been uncovering and releasing movies on video for over a decade, across DVD and VHS, and is now moving into blu-ray, with the same goal to showcase the most unique, crazy, and obscure movies that they've discovered through years of collecting VHS, allowing even more people to actually be able to experience these nearly lost gems in the best versions possible.

Two men try to illegally smuggle their aunt and uncle into the country but are mistaken as drug smugglers by a small group of vigilantes. They are taken to an island where they are to be executed and buried with previously murdered drug dealers. The only problem is, the uncle is a voodoo priest and he raises the dead from their graves to get revenge for the killing of the aunt. A 14 foot monster from hell, crazed vigilantes, and 84 zombies, try to keep our heroes from getting off the island.

Marley’s Revenge is one of the most fun (and funny) 80s monster movies but somehow slipped through the cracks and didn’t get the recognition or distribution it deserved initially. We couldn’t be happier to present this new edition packed with hours of special features and even multiple versions of the movie!

Marley's Revenge T-Shirt Specs

Screen printed in-house here at VS Press on premium quality black Comfort Colors 100% ring-spun cotton tees. We printed with discharge ink on this tee, making for a super soft and breathable print that is comfortable to wear. Discharge ink strips the dye from the fabric, returning it to its natural cotton color.

  • Available in sizes S - 3XL

THESE TEES ARE WASHED & DRIED - EXPECT THEM TO ALREADY HAVE TYPICAL FIRST WASH SHRINKAGE

We are going the extra mile and washing and drying all VS Press tees printed with discharge ink before they get folded, bagged, and shipped your way. Why? Because we care about you, our awesome customers. No really, we do. Discharge printing makes for the most comfortable screen printed tees you're going to find anywhere, as it changes the color of the actual fabric, without leaving an uncomfortable deposit of ink on the top, aka the dreaded sweat patch. As with anything that magically changes the color of fabric and alters the fabric of time, washing before wearing is recommended. So we're taking care of that step for you. High five, friends.

              Charming

              "Very charming and inventive american 80's regional horror"

              Brice D. (5/5)

              Silly Backwoods Sleaze

              "Super fun no-budget monster movie, worth a watch with friends and a 62 pack of beer."

              Jeffrey L. (4/5)

              A rather underwhelming monster movie.

              "A rather underwhelming monster movie. If you like retro practical effects then you might get something out of this modest little film, but it's otherwise pretty forgettable. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation. I thought it was shot on video, but it turns out it was actually shot on 16mm and only then transferred to video. Plenty of great extras, including an alternative cut of the film. In short, not a great movie, but a fantastic Blu Ray edition all the same."

              Over The Top Oddball

              "Marley’s Revenge: The Monster Movie is a delightfully chaotic slice of low‑budget ’80s horror‑comedy that throws together voodoo, zombies, vigilantes, and a giant monster in the most unhinged way imaginable. The DIY charm and off‑the‑wall creature antics give it a goofy energy that’s more fun than polished, even if the pacing and tone can be all over the place. If you’re into regional cult oddities that don’t take themselves seriously, this wild romp is a quirky watch with plenty of laugh‑out‑loud moments."

              Shawn M. (4/5)

              shocking monster fun

              "I love a good monster movie and I never heard of this one. I was really shocked on how fun and even what they did on this small budget. You def have to be in the right mindset to enjoy it and love monster movies. But I am glad to see this released and no longer a forgotten movie."

              Robert B. (4/5)

              Fun monster flick with an awesome bonus movie

              "I enjoyed Marley's Revenge a good bit but I'm primarily writing this review to talk about the extra feature, "Never Feed the Troll," from 2010. This one I had a hell of a time with and for fans of the ridiculous and silly, it's a must watch. Prime 2010s internet culture movie. Also the packaging and other supplements are awesome."

              Drake D. (5/5)

              Great to add this to

              "Great to add this to the bundle, fun edition and flick!"

              Marley's Revenge: The Monster Movie VHShitfest bluray review

              "Marley's Revenge: The Monster Movie is the next fantastic release from one of my favorite Partner Labels, VHShitfest. They consistently rescue and release gems from the lost VHS era, titles that are fun, and in some cases well made, micro budget titles. They then lavish these releases with a ton of special material. Marley's Revenge is amazing! The plot is amazing in it's absurdity, these people are arrested and taken to an island to be killed, but one of them uses his voodoo skills to raise the dead . This movie is hilarious in all the right ways. the disc has the restored cut as well as the VHS cut. There is a short film and a feature length bonus film as well! Two interviews and a commentary round out the rest of the features. The disc is stacked and looks as good as it can. The OCN slip, as usual is gorgeous. PLEASE check this out. It's a lot of fun. You will for sure enjoy it!"
