Legendary animator and cartoonist Bill Plympton's first feature, THE TUNE is a wildly surreal animated musical comedy about a struggling songwriter named Del (voiced by Daniel Neiden), desperate to write a hit tune to save his relationship with his long-suffering girlfriend Didi (voiced by Maureen McElheron, who co-wrote the script and composed the music). On his way to meet her and his boss, Del gets sidetracked in the cheerfully deranged Alternate Universe of Flooby Nooby: a strangely nostalgic vision of 1950s middle-class America as filtered through the affectionate-but-twisted sensibilities of David Lynch, Talking Heads and classic Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoons. There's a Doggie Elvis who croons about his pompadour; a love duet between a Burger and Fry, a slice of Cherry Pie and a Scoop of Ice Cream; and a joyfully sadistic Bellhop at The Love Sick Hotel, all singing lovably warped tunes like \"Dig My Do,\" \"No Nose Blues\" and \"Tango Shmango\". Plympton's famed animation style, done in colored pencils with a gorgeous pastel palette, is perfectly suited to this beautifully off-kilter saga of a man who loses his way only to find his heart: \"Lost?\" \"No, I just don't know where I am.\" New VSD Exclusive limited slipcover!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"Blu-ray","offer_id":66917715935347,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/DC-063CD.jpg?v=1792260135"},{"product_id":"motion-picture-dead-mountaineers-hotel","title":"Motion Picture- Dead Mountaineer's Hotel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: Deaf Crocodile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReissued 10\/17\/2026, Originally released 1979\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIDEO STORE DAY 2026 RELEASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDEAD MOUNTAINEER'S HOTEL (\"HUKKUNUD ALPINISTI\" HOTEL) - 1979, Tallinnfilm, 84 min. \"I was on call to drive to a mountain hotel. The hotel's name was The Dead Mountaineer,\" says police inspector Peter Glebsky (Uldis Pūcītis) at the beginning of Estonian director Grigori Kromanov's dazzling, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery, 1970s Euro giallo, classic noir whodunit, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi ala THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (STALKER, HARD TO BE A GOD), the hall-of-mirrors plot follows Glebsky as he's trapped by avalanche in the ski lodge with a rogues' gallery of weird suspects: tubercular gangster Hinckus (Mikk Mikiver), creepy hotel owner Snewahr (Jüri Järvet, KING LEAR), a wall-climbing physicist (Lembit Peterson), a louche, wig-wearing beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song (Irena Kriauzaite) - oh, and the Dead Mountaineer's faithful St. Bernard. The interior of the hotel (brilliantly art directed by Tõnu Virve and Priit Vaher, and photographed by Jüri Sillart) is straight out of a Dario Argento or Sergio Martino thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs, drenched in champagne and feather boas. Featuring a stellar electronica \/ prog score by composer Sven Grünberg, the film combines an eerie THE SHINING-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods. \"This is the end of the road. The only way is back,\" as the hotel owner cryptically smiles. Newly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive.

Teenage heartthrob Jeff (Scott McGuinnis, Secret Admirer), who runs the arcade and Dorfus (Jim Greenleaf, Liar's Moon), the slovenly video game addict, decide to take revenge on the vivacious Alva (Kym Malin, Weird Science) and Lola for tricking Eugene out of his pants with a wild game of \"strip video.\" But before they can act, King Vidiot (Jon Gries, Napoleon Dynamite) and his sexy troupe of high-tech video addicts invade the arcade and pandemonium breaks loose.

Possibly the most infamous entry into the Nazisploitation genre, Sergio Garrone's SS Experiment Camp is a harrowing and deliberately triggering experience which, even by today's standards is as powerful as it was when originally released in 1976. From its provocative, tabloid baiting original poster of a naked woman dangling crucified and naked, the movie pushed the boundaries as far as it could.

A major film from both the early 80's 3D horror movie boom and the VHS rental era, Charles Band's bizarre, dsytopian sci-fi monster movie stars Robert Glaudini as rogue scientist Paul Dean who, in a Nuke-ravaged future, invents a parasite that his sinister corporate employers have commissioned to control what's left of the population. With one of the toothy beasts lodged in his guts and another in a high-tech canister, Dean hits the road with laser-gun-toting bad guys on his tail. Along the way he meets a gaggle of punks and thugs who want to harm him and handful of decent folks who want to help him. Meanwhile, the ravenous parasites threaten to burst forth and lock their jaws on everyone, indiscriminately.
