Angus Scrimm fans beware! The B-movie cult gem known as Mindwarp is skipping DVD and heading straight to Bluray this October from Twilight Time. If you haven't seen Mindwarp, all you need to know is it was made by Fangoria in the early 1990s and pitted Bruce Campbell against Angus Scrimm. Simply put, it is a wonderfully gory good time. The Twilight Time Bluray release is limited to 3,000 units and given how rare this film has been, goodness knows when it will surface again. Pre-order it here. Be warned, however. Twilight Time doesn't kid around when they say they're limiting their release of a title. When Mindwarp is sold out, it will truly be sold out and undoubtedly be expensive on the second hand market.
A very kind and special thanks to Mindwarp director Steve Barnett for the head's up. Speaking of Steve, I've posted my 2007 interview with him about the film. You can see it below after the homemade trailer I whipped up the same year.
On Getting The Job
"Rodman Flender, an executive at Roger Corman’s Concorde Pictures recommended me. I did an interview as one of several guys up for the job. This was the very first Fangoria Magaize movie, so they wanted to get it done on time and budget and they figured someone trained by Roger could pull that off. I think that was a large part of why I was hired. I really liked the script too, and I think that showed. It was very much a William Gibson inspired work. My wife had turned me on to Gibson’s books like “Neuromancer” and “Mona Lisa Overdrive" and MINDWARP fit right in with that kind of science fiction."
