This special limited edition spot gloss slipcover (designed by Luke Insect) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them. Degausser Video was created by several of the devious minds behind VS, which will bring to Blu-ray deluxe editions of both canonical and under-seen shot on video (SOV) genre cinema, in addition to work shot on film, but edited on tape, wherein the original film materials are believed to be lost or destroyed. Similar to Vinegar Syndrome's focus on FILM preservation, Degausser will work only from original analogue tape materials with an emphasis on maintaining the aesthetics inherent to each respective video format. Additionally, each title released by Degausser will be made available in an ultra limited "new" VHS edition, fitted in a custom designed hard shell light box. Thirteen years after going on a bloody, food-related killing spree, gluttonous Ethel Janowsky is deemed fit to return to society and transferred to a halfway house presided over by the kindly old Hope Bartholomew. Settling in alongside the other oddball residents, it’s not long before Ethel’s homicidal rage is once again triggered when one of the staff taunts her with chocolate bars. After throttling the man to death with a hastily-improvised noose, Ethel sets about hacking and slashing her way through the remainder of the residents - and anyone else unfortunate enough to wander onto the property. The notoriously bonkers follow-up to the 1975 proto-slasher classic Criminally Insane, CRIMINALLY INSANE 2 (aka Crazy Fat Ethel II) - once again directed by prolific exploitation merchant Nick Millard (Satan’s Black Wedding) - sees the inimitable Priscilla Alden reprising her role as the deliciously unhinged Ethel Janowsky in this delirious shoestring sequel sure to please fans of shot-on-video shlock. Now newly restored from the best surviving tape master, Degausser Video is delighted to serve up CRIMINALLY INSANE II for the first time on Blu-ray alongside a host of bonus features. directed by: Nick Millardstarring: Priscilla Alden, Michael Flood, George 'Buck' Flower, Jane Lambert, Robert Copple1987 / 62 min / 1.33:1 / English Mono Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Newly transferred and restored from the best surviving tape master Commentary track with The Hysteria Continues!
