SHOUT! FACTORY has recently released two horror classics, MOTEL HELL and PUMPKINHEAD. I remember seeing MOTEL HELL at the theater and couldn't believe what I was watching -- it's both weird and darkly funny. PUMPKINHEAD, on the other hand is a straight-ahead teen monster movie -- how can you go wrong with a totally cool monster and starring Lance Henriksen?
Here's the 411 from SHOUT! FACTORY:
MOTEL HELL SYNOPSIS
It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s fritters!
You really are what you eat with Farmer Vincent's smoked meat in this creepy horror yarn which "packs a punch that goes way beyond mere terror" (Boxoffice). Vincent's popular products contain a special ingredient that the psychotic farmer and his sister would literally kill to keep a secret! Starring Rory Calhoun (Angel), Nancy Parsons (Porky’s), Nina Axelrod (Time Walker, Cobra) and John Ratzenberger (Cheers), and directed by Kevin Connor (From Beyond The Grave, At The Earth’s Core), this darkly funny flick "just might be your cup of meat" (L.A. Herald Examiner)!

PUMPKINHEAD SYNOPSIS
"Vivid, stylish, atmospheric" – The Hollywood Reporter
When a group of teenagers inadvertently kill his only son, Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen, Aliens) seeks the powers of a backwoods witch to bring the child back to life. But instead, she invokes "Pumpkinhead" – a monstrously clawed demon which, once reborn, answers only to Ed's bloodlust. But as the creature wreaks its slow, unspeakable tortures on the teens, Ed confronts a horrifying secret about his connection to the beast – and realizes that he must find a way to stop its deadly mission before he becomes one with the creature forever. A terrifying parable of revenge and possession, Pumpkinhead also stars Jeff East (Deadly Blessing), Joel Hoffman (Slumber Party Massacre II) and Kerry Remsen (A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge).
