Starting today, January 24, the restored edition of the thriller films Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars and Dead Girls Don't Tango by John Carr come in a Limited Mediabook edition (DVD + Booklet + Slipcover). Both films are available on TetroVideo and Goredrome official websites along with the new edition of TetroManiac: eROTik, the extreme horror film directed by Domiziano Cristopharo in 2019.

Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars!

According to John Carr himself, at first, this movie was not finished. Some portions of the filmed materials were incorporated into the Night Train to Terror anthology film. After that, the producers made a "complete" version of his movie, using almost all filmed materials. This version was released on VHS only as Scream Your Head Off.

Later, John Carr decided to finish his movie and shot new sequences with John Philip Law and incorporated Marilyn Monroe character in the story. This last version is the one known as Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars, completed in 1992.

In summary, there are three versions of this movie: one as a segment of Night Train to Terror; the illegitimate version Scream Your Head Off (in VHS only); Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars.

Synopsis: Harry Billings (John Philip Law) accidentally kills his wife by accident in a car wreck. He is taken to a mysterious psychiatric hospital where is placed under hypnosis by Dr. Fargo and Dr. Brewer who sell human beings and body parts to overseas buyers. The staff uses a hypnotized Harry to lure various people to the hospital only to be brutally murdered.

But Harry falls in love with Marilyn (Francine York), a beautiful and sweet patient who claims to be Marilyn Monroe and with whom he plans to escape...

Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars! stars John Phillip Law (Blood Delirium), Francine York, Richard Moll (House), Sharon Ratcliff, Arthur Braham, Mark Petrich, Rick Barnes, Jini Flynn, Lisa Watkins, and Vincent Di Paolo.

Dead Girls Don't Tango

Written by Philip Yordan and directed by John Carr in 1992, Dead Girls Don't Tango stars the horror icon Karen Black (Trilogy of Terror). In John Carr's film, the American actress is a police inspector who must stop a serial killer who dances the tango with his victims before strangling them.

TetroManiac: eROTik

TetroManiac: eROTik is an extreme horror film directed by Domiziano Cristopharo (Red Krokodil, Xpiation). Considered one of the most explicit films about necrophilia, TetroManiac: eROTik is loosely based on the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, and it's the first chapter of the TETROMANIAC series by TetroVideo, a shocking film collection about the real stories involving criminals and serial killers.

The story follows the necrophile ways of ‘Jeffrey Dahmer’ (played by Adam Western) who has a passion for Egyptian culture (particularly mummification), love, and extreme sex.

Adam Western and Simone Avincola (Xpiation) star.
