THE CHILDREN - 1980 Cult Horror, Troma Films Extended Director's Cut NEW BLU RAY

Description: This is a brand new, factory sealed Blu Ray of the 1980 cult horror classic THE CHILDREN released by Troma Films. It's the original Blu Ray released by Vinegar Syndome and comes in its original case, still factory sealed. Something is terrifyingly wrong with the children of Ravenback. After their school bus passes through a mysterious cloud of yellow smoke, the children are transformed into bloodthirsty zombies with black fingernails which burn anything they touch. As parents and unwitting townspeople are burned to a crisp, the local police force frantically searches for the missing kids, unaware of their new and deadly powers... Shot back-to-back with FRIDAY THE 13TH, and sharing some of the same crew, Max Kalmanowicz's THE CHILDREN is an outrageous and fun drive-in horror classic. Featuring an eerie score from Harry Manfredini (FRIDAY THE 13TH) and produced by Carlton J. Albright (LUTHER THE GEEK), Vinegar Syndrome brings THE CHILDREN to Blu-ray, newly restored from the best surviving film elements and in its extended director's cut! Bonus Features: 1.

English SDH subtitles THE CHILDREN is the story of a nuclear power plant, its negligent workforce, and the resulting catastrophe. Though, not the catastrophic event one might usually expect. This time, in the tiny town of Ravensback, a school bus full of incredibly well-behaved kids drives through a cloud of radioactive smog. When the sheriff finds the bus, abandoned by the side of the road, still idling, the fun begins! The tots unleash the terror of their atomic touch, turning the unwary into immolated tuna casserole! Fortunately, Ravensback is populated by some of the most annoying and cantankerous citizens on our beloved planet! So, watching them being hugged to death isn't as traumatic as it could have been! Sort of a goofball combination of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, this movie is what true entertainment is supposed to be!
