This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Tom Hodge of The Dude Designs) was limited to 5,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
Auntie Lee and her quartet of voluptuous “nieces” are known for making the tastiest meat pies around, all from Auntie’s top secret recipe which calls for a most unusual type of meat: human. In order to acquire the juiciest flesh, the girls employ their lusty charms; luring unsuspecting male strangers into a carnal - and deadly - trap, in which they’re chopped, quartered, and minced. Everything is going just peachy for Auntie’s little family, despite the occasional misbehavings of Larry, their “simple” helper, but when the girls lure a freaked out rock group over to have for dinner, things run the risk of getting out of control. And what about the perpetually snooping Police Chief Koal?
Taking a simple premise and turning it into an increasingly hallucinogenic nightmare, culminating in a surreal and bloody final act, Joseph F. Robertson’s (The Crawling Hand) AUNTIE LEE’S MEAT PIES heaps on gruesome kills with a healthy side of pitch black humor. Graced with a cast as strange as the film itself, among them Pat Morita (The Karate Kid), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), erotic film superstar Teri Weigel, Eurosleaze stalwart Werner Pochath (Terror Express), and starring Karen Black (Trilogy of Terror, House of 1000 Corpses) as Auntie Lee, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring this would be midnight movie to Blu-ray for the first time, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative.

"A somewhat tongue in cheek (and pie) film, good fun to watch. With four playmates acting in this film I wasn't expecting the bar to be too high, but they cleared it with ease, no doubt thanks to guidance from the likes of Karen Black, Pat Morita and Michael Berryman. Picture quality is good and a great set of extras are included, I also love the spot gloss slipcover."
"It was a surprise i thought this movie was kinda slow but good artwork though"
"If a film about a group of cannibalistic women luring men to their death to be ground up into meat pies with Karen Black and Mr. Miyagi himself sounds like a fun time to you, you've come to the right place! Personally I like my horror a bit more serious thought the actors play it broad and the gore quota sure doesn't disappoint. The colorful photography helps the insanity come to life with no small thanks given to the transfer that brings it all up to snuff (ditch the VHS tape, if you have one). Slipcover, extras,. . . another cult oddity (that I personally had never heard from) gets a 2nd chance on bluray here."
"This one's just okay, nothing too memorable. Pat Morita being in this is just so odd, he must have owed the director a favor or something. A few decent highlights, and the film doesn't take itself seriously. Worth having in the collection just for that odd direct to video feel."
"A crazy and schlocky slasher movie that gets pretty weird towards the end. I liked it quite a bit."
"This was a horror comedy that hit all the right spots for me. It had great over the top performances from Karen Black and Pat Morita. It was also crazy to see the location for this film is the same as Motel Hell with similar plotlines."
"Goofy, trashy fun."
"Was a blind buy, this was almost like a softcore where sex scenes are replaced by murders! Fun ride"
"Fun little movie. Makes a fun double feature with motel hell."
"A classic that I managed to obtain in the OOP sale. Very happy."
