Brand new factory sealed dvd's of two sought after rare titles collected together, the original, which is Out Of Print and it's sequel.
Starting with the original, SCARED to DEATH: Genetic experiments result in a tall (Alien-type) monster called SynGenOr (abbreviation for Synthesized Genetic Organism). The monster sucks out human spinal fluid with it's needle tongue to feed it's own pod-borne offspring with the human life fluids. An ex-cop-cum-novelist (John Stinson) and a genetics student (Toni Janotta) pursue the creature which eventually ends up in the sewers.
Half homage / half-heisted monster movie, which trades on a high body count was directed by William Malone ('House on Haunted Hill') who was the chief designer at the Don Post mask studios. Standing in here as an Earthbound version of Giger's 'Alien' is actor Kermit Eller in a rubber suit, playing the Syngenor. Widescreen and enhanced for new TVs with the original trailer and exclusive video interview with the director as extras.
The sequel, SYNGENOR: Neon colors, feathered hair, and lots of old-school monster effects highlight this straightforward romp about the havoc unleashed by the Norton Cyberdine company, which has created a new breed of soldier able to aid the military's efforts in the Middle East. Named Syngenor (SYNthesized GENetic ORganism, of course), this creature soon kills it's creator and engineer, Ethan, whose niece, Susan (Starr Andreef), teams up with a reporter (Mitchell Laurance) to uncover the truth.
Of course, said truth is a little hard to take when you're talking about rampaging genetically engineered mutant bio-lizard men who rip off people's heads and suck the juice out of their nervous systems. Meanwhile the company head (Re-animator's David Gale) becomes more than a bit monstrous himself as he tries to control the continously escalating mess around him, namely by shooting himself in the neck with various chemicals and doing unspeakable things. Also with William Shatner's daughter Melanie as a comic relief receptionist. Presented widescreen with 3 featurettes, filmographies, and a photo/publicity gallery as extras.
