U.S. label Vinegar Syndrome has detailed three upcoming Blu-ray releases: Liquid Sky (1982), Pick-Up (1975), and Seeds/Vapors. The three releases will be available for purchase this December.
Pick-Up
Synopsis; Carol and Maureen have just been picked up by Chuck, a young man driving a giant mobile home through the Florida Everglades. After getting caught in a rainstorm and finding themselves stranded in the wilderness, their senses of reality begin to diminish as the trio of travelers find themselves engulfed in a dreamlike world of sensual delights, with an ever increasing threat of violence…
Director/cinematographer Bernard Hirschenson's ode to mysticism is a surreal and erotic trip which stars Gini Eastwood, Jill Senter, and Alan Long. Originally titled PAZUZU, Vinegar Syndrome brings this under-seen visual feast to Blu-ray, newly restored to its original cut. Also included is the home video premier of Hirschenson and Jerald Intrator's long lost groundbreaking sexploitation film, THE ORGY AT LIL'S PLACE, restored from vault elements discovered at The American Genre Film Archive.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Seeds/Vapors
Synopsis: Andy Milligan was one of the most significant underground filmmakers working in 60's sexploitation. Presented here are two of his crucial early works:
In SEEDS (1968), a family reunion over Christmas reignites long simmering tensions and rekindles dangerous sexual affairs. But, as buried secrets are revealed, a mysterious killer begins murdering the perverse family members one by one in increasingly sadistic ways…
In VAPORS (1965), Milligan's debut film, a lonely young man named Thomas visits a public steam bath where he meets an enigmatic stranger named Mr. Jaffee. As the night unfolds, Thomas finds himself in a hellish and perverse world of sexual misery.
Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix present SEEDS & VAPORS, newly restored in 4K from their negative elements, with SEEDS available in its original and director's cut for the first time in nearly 50 years!

Liquid Sky
We are extremely proud to present LIQUID SKY, our 200th Vinegar Syndrome release! This special limited edition 'dayglo ink' package (designed by Derek Gabryszak) will be available during our Black Friday sale (November 24th – 27th). This package is limited to just 3,000 units. After this limited edition package sells out, a trimmed-down mass market edition will be released in 2018.
Synopsis: Margaret (Anne Carlisle) is a fashion model with dreams of stardom, whose alter ego and rival, Jimmy (also Carlisle), abuses and takes advantage of her to satisfy his rampant drug addiction. Unknown to them, tiny, invisible aliens have landed on the roof above the squalor in which they live and begin killing anyone Margaret has sex with to feed on their pleasure giving neurotransmitters. All the while, a German scientist attempts to capture and study them.
Hailed by Time Magazine as 'a two hour act of imagination,' Slava Tsukerman's LIQUID SKY is an underground masterpiece of avant-garde science fiction filmmaking. Set against the visual majesty of New York's early 80s New Wave scene, and filled with arresting cinematography by Yuri Neyman, along with an acclaimed original soundtrack, Vinegar Syndrome proudly brings this quintessential midnight movie to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative.
