88 Films Unearths 'Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh' on to Blu-ray

Originally entitled "Picking up the Pieces," and featuring special effects from the legendary Tom Savini ("Maniac"/ "Day of the Dead"), this first class mix of gore and guffaws makes its worldwide Blu-Ray debut from 88 Films.

UK Distributor 88 Films will be bringing the 1991 horror comedy, "Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh" to Blu-ray on October 5, 2015. The movie will be part of their "Slasher Classics Collection." The 88 Films Blu-ray will feature reversible cover art, pictured above. 

In the same satirical spirit as "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" (1988) or "Student Bodies" (1981), comes 1991's esoterically entertaining splatter send-up "Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh."

Proving that a madwoman can be far more threatening than a madman, "Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh" introduces us to a weapon-wielding femme-fatale who is dedicated to lopping off limbs and chalking up a high body count in the name of an ancient religious cult. What results is a plethora of slice and dice silliness and one of the most deranged, but darkly humored, hack 'em ups ever unleashed. Starring Veronica Hart, the erstwhile adult movie legend from such late night masterworks as "Amanda by Night" (1981), as a crazy killer with a shapely shape, and paying homage to everything from "Blood Feast" (1963) to "The Toolbox Murders" (1978), "Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh" proves once and for all that the female of the species is far deadlier than the male!
