Looming large over the landscape of Mexican cinema, no family names are bigger than Cardona and Galindo. Both families traversed every genre and style and sometimes their paths would cross, as they do here in the VACATION OF TERROR series. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the worldwide Blu-ray debut of this terrifying double feature from two of Mexico's finest genre filmmakers of the '80s and '90s, René Cardona III and Pedro Galindo III. Newly scanned and restored in 4K, experience the horror like never before!
After inheriting a new summer home from a deceased relative, wealthy Fernando brings his family, his niece Paulina (Gabriela Hassel, Don't Panic) and her boyfriend, Julio (Pedro Fernández, Hell's Trap), who happens to be an occult expert along for the vacation. Quickly they discover strange happenings on the property, but when Fernando's young daughter Gaby falls into a well and returns with an old doll, things take a turn for the horrific. Possessed by the evil spirit of a witch, Gaby and her doll run amok, with telekinesis, terrifying hallucinations, fiery car crashes, and ample scares. Only Julio with his knowledge of the dark arts, and the help of a mystical amulet, can bring this VACATION OF TERROR to an end!
Fitting into the lineage of sequels that outshine their predecessor, the Vacation franchise returns even bigger and better with VACATION OF TERROR II: DIABOLICAL BIRTHDAY. Julio (Pedro Fernández) is back, quietly running an antique shop when a chance encounter with singer Mayra (Mexican pop icon Tatiana) and her younger sister Tanya, brings him face to face with the evil doll and the nightmare begins again! Racing to a birthday party for the young Tanya, who is now under the doll's spell, Julio arrives in time to witness the carnage begin, but will he be able to stop it again? Filled with action-packed set pieces, face-melting gore and buckets of blood, this sequel ratchets up every aspect of the original.

"Worthy little low budget jam. Vacation of Terror is for the die hard trash fans and if you are one you should be familiar with René Cardona III already. I've grabbed every title from VS and enjoy them all to some degree. This edition is one of his better features or at least the first is. Wrapped in a quality slipcover and will service your itch for cheap scares."
"1st one is pretty fun but the second is completely nuts lol. Good times!"
"The Vacation of Terror series is fantastic. Terrific set of movies if you’re into Mexican horror. Fantastic score for both pictures. Artwork is pristine and the slip case is beautiful. Pick this collection up if you like good stuff."
"This is another example of bang for your buck as you get two flix for the price of one. One thing that really struck me was the score on both films as it is great and better than I expected. The cover of the blu is also incredible per usual"
"Awesome mexican horror from vinegarsyndrome. Awesome art and good price for two quality films."
"Good watch if you're into this kinda thing. Kinda niche though. Have fun?"
"The picture and quality of this release is great. Good sound, nice features. The slipcover is also very nice in showing both movies (and titles). My only issue is that this release only has English subtitles and not a dubbed version, which I would have liked the option (if possible). As far as the movies themselves: I much enjoyed the second one more than the first. The first was more of a slow burn. Both are interesting and definitely worth a watch."
"Fun movies, cool FX"
"A fun enjoyable horror collection."
"I’m looking forward to finally catching up with these movies."
