Nightmare Weekend Blu-ray cover


Vinegar Syndrome released the 1986 horror oddity, "Nightmare Weekend" in a Blu-ray and DVD Combo Pack on September 22, 2015.

Synopsis:
A brilliant computer scientist has just finished work on his greatest creation: a super computer with the ability to transform the personalities of bad and disobedient people. In anticipation of sharing his work with the scientific community, the scientist invites a fellow expert to test the machine on a group of debauched young women. Little does he know that his colleague intends to use the computer to turn their subjects into bloodthirsty mutants!

Made by a French crew in Florida, "Nightmare Weekend" is a non-stop assault on the senses. Head explosions, gratuitous nudity and softcore sex, bikers, roller-skating, and a telepathic hand puppet named George rank "Nightmare Weekend" among the weirdest and most jaw-droppingly absurd horror films of the 1980's. Long available only in low quality transfers of the R rated version, Vinegar Syndrome presents this forgotten trash masterpiece fully uncut and in widescreen, on Blu-ray for the first time!
