Independent British distributors 88 Films have officially announced and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of director Herb Freed's Graduation Day (1981), starring Christopher George, Patch Mackenzie, Michael Pataki, Linnea Quigley, Vanna White, and E.J. Peaker. The release will be available for purchase on October 13th.
This Blu-ray debut of Graduation Day will launch 88 Films' 'Slasher Classics Collection' – a line that also includes HD bows for the celebrated 'video nasty' Don't go in the Woods (1981) and the classic backwoods shocker Mother's Day (1980). Best of all, Graduation Day will arrive in the UK with an array of newly created special features from High Rising Productions including a new feature length documentary entitled Scream Queens: Horror Heroines Exposed!.
Hosted by the legendary Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer), this insightful investigation into the challenges of women working within a genre frequently associated with a masculine fanbase is unique in featuring all-female perspectives.
Names that have been caught on camera for this epic expose include Graduation Day's own Linnea Quigley, glamour girls Christa Campbell (2001 Maniacs) and Playboy Playmate Irina Voronina (Piranha 3DD) and Hostel's 'eyeball-less' victim Jennifer Lim.
Further icons of scary cinema speaking in Scream Queens: Horror Heroines Exposed! are Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers), Sybil Danning (Howling II), Danielle Harris (the Halloween series), Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), Melanie Kinnaman (Friday the 13th Part V), Lynn Lowry (Shivers), Catriona MacColl (The Beyond), Cassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira), Brinke Stevens (Slumber Party Massacre), Patricia Tallman (Night of the Living Dead) and Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and 5). In addition, the genre's current 'it' girl Elissa Dowling, journalist Heidi Honeycutt and veteran performers Emily Booth (Cradle of Fear), Forbes Riley (Splatter University) and Jane March (Colour of Night) add to the onscreen allure of this exhaustive undertaking.
