Synapse Films will release 1982’s THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack on April 26. The cover art is pictured below. The forgotten slasher will be presented in a never-before-seen director’s cut, transferred from a rare, uncut 35mm print. Here are the details:
On the eve of Christmas vacation, a college dormitory stands condemned… the dark halls now vacant, and unsafe. Student Joanne Murray and her close friends volunteer to help close down the building, unaware a psychopathic lunatic is hiding in the shadows. As the students disappear one by one, Joanne discovers the horrifying reality that if she is to survive, she alone will have to find a way to slay the brutal murderer.
If you think you’ve seen this film totally uncut… think again! Synapse Films is proud to present THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD in a never-before-seen alternate version containing additional scenes, extended gore sequences and a different sound mix. This transfer was created from the only existing 35mm answer print of the original “Directors’ Cut” entitled DEATH DORM, a version of the film thought to have been lost for over thirty years.
Special features include an audio commentary by directors Jeffrey Obrow and Stephen Carpenter, interviews with composer Christopher Young and make-up FX creator Matthew Mungle, original trailers and reversible cover art.
