Dark Night of the Scarecrow tells of the murder of a young girl, Marylee Williams (Tonya Crowe), and the vicious mob justice wrongly enacted on Marylee’s innocent, mentally challenged friend Bubba Ritter (Larry Drake). A cover-up by the murderous mob, led by Otis P. Hazelrigg (Charles Durning), results in a strange turn of events. Soon, one by one, the guilty are stalked and served a specific kind of justice by an unknown figure.
40 years in the making, Dark Night of the Scarecrow 2 picks up with Chris (Amber Wedding) and her young son Jeremy (Aiden Shurr), moving to the small town where the events of the first film took place. Chris finds a tattered scarecrow amongst the cornfields of her new home and tells the effigy her secret; the real reason she has come to this small town. Soon after, a mysterious figure begins to roam the fields of their new home… stalking them or protecting them from unknown threats?
If you’re one of the people that loved VCI’s The Leg Fighters Blu Ray a few months ago, you may be pleased to find that, in early 2020, they're releasing a new Blu Ray of the Bruceploitation classic, Dynamo.
I’ve only seen a snippets of the action in this one and it’s good stuff. I know Bruceploitation isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but some of it is genuinely good.
The features the new Blu Ray has are...
NEW 2K RESTORATION OF ORIGINAL UNCUT 35MM ENGLISH PRINT
Bonus 2K scan from a 16mm alternate cut
Audio commentary by filmmaker and Kung Fu Film fan Michael Worth (author of the Bruceploitation Bible) and UK radio sensation Iain Lee
The Taiwan Connection - Michael Worth’s Journey to Meet a childhood idol: Bruce Li (15-minute original documentary)
Kung Fu Reborn: Featurette on restoration and preservation of Kung Fu film elements
Drawing Dynamo: featurette on cover artist Ian McEwan
Theatrical Trailer to Dynamo

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching TRC kick @alonzorion‘s ass and so I did a little quickie drawing while watching the latest part. For what it’s worth Alonzo, I couldn’t even start VCi when I first played Chronicles. The 13th Floor always crashed during the first cutscene. It really is a buggy mess but honey, you’ve got a big storm coming....
