Independent U.S. distributors Synapse Films have announced that they will release on Blu-ray director Frank Henenlotter's
Basket Case 2 and
Basket Case 3: The Progeny. The two releases will be available for purchase this August.
Basket Case 2
Synopsis: Duane Bradley and his surgically-separated twin brother Belial return in this frightfully gory follow-up to Frank Henenlotter's original monster movie classic, BASKET CASE. After surviving a fall from a hospital window, the two brothers become media targets. Duane's aunt, Granny Ruth (played by world-famous Jazz singer Annie Ross), whisks the duo away to a secluded mansion, where other freaks-in-hiding live out their days away from public scrutiny. When a snooping tabloid reporter finds the location of the mutants, Duane and his new family must stand together to keep their freedom a secret. And, in all the chaos, Belial might actually find true love!
Synapse Films is proud to present BASKET CASE 2 in a beautiful high-definition transfer from the original 35mm camera negative

Basket Case 3
He's back. He's bad. And, he's a dad! Belial, everyone's favorite beast-in-a-basket, is back in this sensational third film in the wildly macabre BASKET CASE horror series.
Synopsis: After being separated again from his conjoined twin brother Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck), Belial finds out he's going to be a deformed daddy! Mrs. Belial ("Eve", played by Denise Coop) delivers a litter of bouncing baby monsters, but the blessed event turns into a nightmarish ordeal when the police kidnap the little critters. They should know it's not safe to anger Belial! Attacking the cops in a climactic, gory rampage, everyone's favorite mutant mauler stops at nothing to get his newborns back!
