What can we say about 2024... Well, two words: THE KEEP. Yes, we somehow achieved the incredible. But that’s only one of the 33 remarkable releases we unleashed on unsuspecting eyeballs. Who can forget LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR on disc at last; or REPTILICUS presented in both its U.S. and Danish versions, or THE TENANT in 4K, or our continued commitment to slasher-worship with THE GHOST DANCE, BLOOD TRACKS, and more on Blu-ray. Or the long-requested disc debut of INTRÉPIDOS PUNKS + VENGEANCE OF THE PUNKS? And, of course, plentiful Gialli disc debuts, from Italy and Spain, and on Blu-ray and UHD!

In short, it was a lot and a lot to beat... But we still have plenty of tricks up our sleeves, starting with January, which will offer the world UHD debut of the grisly true-crime classic, DERANGED: CONFESSIONS OF A NECROPHILE, featuring a stunning new 4K restoration of the uncensored version in addition to a whole host of extras. And, for fans of Euro-horror, we’ve assembled an unbeatable trio of Spanish classics headlined by all-new and 100% uncut 4K restorations of CURSE OF THE DEVIL starring Paul Naschy, joined by the Neo-gothic gem, THE VAMPIRES NIGHT ORGY, and the bonkers Exorcist “homage” DEMON WITCH CHILD. And finally, for January, we’re starting off our Hong Kong game strong with a Blu-ray double feature of THE SEVENTH CURSE + WITCH FROM NEPAL, both newly and exclusively restored and color-graded by VS and packed with extras.

The madness continues all year long as we offer the 4K UHD (and US BD) premiere of the wild supernatural thriller, THE POSSESSION OF JOEL DELANEY in February, a jaw-dropping duo of Hong Kong craziness in March with a newly restored Blu-rays of DEVIL FETUS + HER VENGEANCE (in multiple versions), plus a Gialli collection, while April offers a giallo UHD, slasher UHD and never-on-Blu set of British horror rarities. May will bring four UHD debuts by four very different (and all remarkable) genre film-focused directors, while July and August will continue to offer horror, thrillers, action, 60s sci-fi, and gialli on 4K UHD and BD, including the UHD debut of Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz’ legendary SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D. And looking to the fall, we have horror-galore, ranging from never-on-disc 80s supernatural bloodshed to 70s drive-in gems to plentiful bonkers efforts from Italy, including exclusive new restorations and 4K debuts of numerous horror favorites. And if you thought this past Black Friday was nuts…just wait till you check out our follow-up act…

As a Subscriber, you'll not only get every single VS branded release (including all slipcover and hardbox editions, mystery and surprise titles, etc) at 50% off SRP, but your orders will ship before everyone else's! And we're not done yet: All Subscribers will receive exclusive 50% off SRP discounts on each and every disc released by our Sub-Labels: VSA, VSU (if you’re delighted by VIRTUOSITY, wait till you see what’s coming in May and November!), VSL, VSP, Cinématographe, and Degausser Video! 

Subscribers also receive 50% off SRP on every disc released by our exploding number of Partner Labels! From AGFA to XYZ, and everywhere in between, including fan favorites from labels such as Bleeding Skull, IFC, Shudder, Kani, Canadian International, and over two dozen more! Our Partners offer a unique, diverse, and completely unparalleled mix of cinema from all eras, genres, regions, and mediums, each with a distinct curatorial approach.

Want even more? Every VS Subscriber also receives 50% off SRP discounts on every 2025 Mélusine site release, including this month’s incredible edition of Radley Metzger’s THE IMAGE on 4K UHD! Throughout the year, we’ll be continuing our deep dive into all things sexploitation, with films by Joel Reed, Jean-Francois Davy, Bob Chinn, Armand Weston, Cecil Howard, and more gracing our multitude of lines…including the latest: Pink Line. Curious? No self-respecting connoisseur will want to miss these releases.

That’s our pitch, but we also hope you remember that VS is one of the only film distributors in the world that is also an active film archive, holding perhaps the largest single collection of film materials related to U.S. genre, cult, erotic, and exploitation cinema. Purchasing the Subscription doesn't just get you a great deal on dozens of rare, forgotten, and under-loved pieces of genre cinema but also helps us with the extremely costly endeavor of acquiring, maintaining, and preserving films that would otherwise be ignored and left to rot. And that's not an exaggeration, considering how many times we’ve saved films from imminent destruction...
