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!

Prepare to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about sentient flames, rebellious bicycles, and workplace dismemberment. THE SCARE FILM ARCHIVES VOLUME 2: DANGER STORIES collects the best-of-the-best educational safety-scare films from the twentieth century. Lovingly curated from Something Weird’s vaults and beyond, these surrealist visions have been preserved from original 16mm prints that were inflicted upon children in classrooms across America.
