In addition, disk two features TV spots, many for films that I am surprised got advertised (Beyond the Door II, Cry of the Prostitute), ten trailers for Independent International Pictures' movies, and a short interview with Sam Sherman who used to own IIP. By owning shock festival you have enough content to have multiple movie nights with friends. The set has everything, the only thing you need to provide is alcohol, and friends to have an unforgettable experience in Grindhouse trash cinema. This set is absolutely amazing! You can tell the love of trash cinema was the driving force behind the project. It gave me everything I was looking for, and maybe even a little more. In the words of one Stephen Romano "Watch my DVD or I'll blow your fucking head off."

The New Haven arrest is mentioned. The incident at the Whisky is given the nod. All of the important early beats are covered. There is Morrison's time in the wilderness, so to speak. Notably, Morrison's intellectual pursuits elevate him above the status quo. The author stated that to understand The Doors, you should read THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY, by Friedrich Nietzsche. (Rare!)

ANTHROPOPHAGUS 2 Disc Special Edition (Joe D'Amato); DVD
Gore/Horror/Video Nasties DVD (1980), Used
Antropophagus has been described as having "a noted place in the annals of the escalation of gore". The film has gained Cult status - if only "amongst fringe horror video audiences". It has been argued that the reason for its cult status lies in its theme of cannibalism, hence "consumption of humans", which lends itself to cult reception. The scene in which the titular man eater strangles a pregnant woman, tears out the fetus from her womb and bites into it, made it become one of the infamous "Video Nasties" that were prosecuted in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, and the "controversy greatly aided its cult reputation" as well. 2 disc special edition extras include Joe D'Amato documentary film, Trailers, Photo gallery and additional footage.
