    As with the “Malformed Man..” DVD, I’m not too keen for the new artwork but this DVD is definitely something I’m looking forward to buying come August.

    It’s pretty eye-catching, though and I actually love the use of color, which is very ero-guro. I don’t know much of anything about the movie but I’ll pick it up as soon as it comes out.

    Great idea to have the reversible cover with original artwork - Now when will Synapse ever get around to releasing Karaoke Terror?!!

    Good question. I don’t even recall them mentioning KARAOKE TERROR on their blog since late last year.
