Right now is an excellent time to be a fan of the horror genre and collector of physical media, as there are so many incredible companies doing great work in the space.
Here are five labels every horror fan should be aware of…
Vinegar Syndrome
If you have a deep interest in film preservation and film archives, you may already know the term “vinegar syndrome” which refers to the chemical process that causes a breakdown of film reels over time. These reels smell strongly like vinegar, hence the name.
Vinegar Syndrome the label was founded in 2012 with the goal to preserve and restore films from the 1960s through the 1980s. Preservation has always been top of mind with Vinegar Syndrome. Still, because of their fantastic preservation and restoration work, we also get some of the best DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K releases on the market from their archive.

The reason I do what I do for Killer Film is because of one man: Chas Balun. Some of you may have never heard of him, but if you were a horror fan growing up in the 80′s and 90′s, he was the rebel reviewer you looked up to who never pandered to filmmakers and studios. His work in Fangoria magazine was perfection, and his column in Gorezone, Piece ‘O Mind, is the stuff of legend. Sadly, we lost Chas. late in 2009 to cancer, but I was lucky enough to become good friends with him, and every article I publish has a little of his style and charisma in them.
Here is a sample of his massive writing skills, taken from his book The Connoisseur’s Guide to the Contemporary Horror Film, which is a foreword into my interview with director Ulli Lommel.

I really am a glass is half full kind of guy. I look past director’s not-so amazing films and concentrate on when they were on fire and hitting their marks. Filmmaker Ulli Lommel was rocking and rolling in the 80′s with one diverse horror movie after another. There is nothing more exciting for me than introducing an obscure flick to a new audience. Ulli Lommel granted me a rare interview on The Devonsville Terror, a tale of witchcraft, which was quite daring at the time considering American audiences were in the midst of a slasher craze.
Jason Bene: Within the horror community you are best known for your 1980 film The Boogeyman. I have always had a soft spot for The Devonsville Terror and respected the fact that you were making something fresh and original. What made you decide to do a modern day witchcraft movie?
