Extra Features:

  • Commentary features film historian Jonathan Rigby and Kevin Lyons.
  • "Crying with Laughter" (27:55, HD) is an interview with co-writer Barry Cryer, who recalls his relationship with director Ray Cameron and actor Kenny Everett. Longtime collaborators, Cryer shares his personal history with the men, highlighting their time on television. With Everett, saucy material helped to boost his visibility, often threatened with condemnation by parental groups for his "naughty boy" antics. Video releases from the comedian are highlighted, giving Everett a bit more freedom to be silly, with these endeavors produced by Cameron. Aiming to move to a theatrical offering, plans were made to hit the big screen with the impossibly titled "Suicide: The Movie," which was briefly offered to Stanley Kubrick. The interviewee discusses his initial contact with star Vincent Price, also exploring his off-screen personality, as the icon remained happy in genre entertainment, embracing his camp appeal. Some talk of "Bloodbath and the House of Death" is supplied, including casting, with Pamela Stephenson pregnant during production. Commenting on the feature, Cryer offers a blunt "it has its moments," remembering the film's chilly critical and box office reception.
  • "Running the Bloodbath" (22:48, HD) is a making-of for "Bloodbath at the House of Death," featuring interviews with executive producers Lawrence Myers and Stuart D. Donaldson, and archival junket footage of star Kenny Everett. An understanding of comedian Kenny Everett is provided, examining his special sense of humor and the effort made to turn him into a star beyond the confines of British television. Collaboration with director Ray Cameron is identified, who also labored to bring Everett to the big screen, working on the screenplay with Barry Cryer. The production experience on "Bloodbath at the House of Death" is explored, as the project initially struggled with financing issues. Locations are identified and casting is celebrated, with Pamela Stephenson labeled as "snooty." Time with Vincent Price is also recalled. The interviewees offer memories from the theatrical release, where the film tanked. Interview (16:51, HD) is a chat with executive producer Stuart D. Donaldson, who wanted to join the entertainment business, meeting with writer/director Ray Cameron to help bring comedian Kenny Everett to the masses via home video releases, allowing the star to avoid censorship issues. Putting "Bloodbath at the House of Death" together, Donaldson made use of his own farm as a shooting location. The interviewee recalls time with the cast, enjoying Vincent Price's cooking, and offers thoughts on Everett's private side, only bringing out his crazier persona for crowds. Post-production is recalled, with editing occurring in Donaldson's garage. Release woes are also detailed, with a failed theatrical launch followed by a lack of T.V. sales, and Donaldson is still owed money on the production.
  • Image Gallery (:57) collects poster and video art, and BTS snaps.
  • And a U.S Trailer (1:57) and U.K. Trailer (2:47) are included.
