Here is some exciting news from the revamped (again!) Fangoria website. Synapse Films has acquired the rights to The Dorm That Dripped Blood with “many other exciting titles” that they plan to announce in the next few weeks.

Synapse’s Don May Jr. told Fango, “We’re working with [director/producer] Jeffrey Obrow, and we’ve uncovered his original answer print, which is titled Death Dorm. He believes that when the film was released as Dorm That Dripped Blood, the theatrical distributor did some editing and changed things around, in addition to the name. Our print is the only 35mm version of the film with the Death Dorm title, and it may contain footage that nobody has seen in 30 years.”

“I just want to let the fans know that there’s a damn good possibility that this is a cut of the movie that no one’s ever seen,” May continues. “We’re just starting the transfer and going through the reels, and the print, because it hasn’t been shown in three decades, is very clean, so it’ll be the best-looking version of the film ever on home video. While we don’ have any extras lined up at the moment, Jeffrey has agreed to help us on those. We’re still in the early stages, but we’ll hopefully have it out by the end of the year.”
