Weird Wisconsin - The Bill Rebane Collection Limited Edition Blu-Ray

FROM THE WILDERNESS OF WISCONSIN CAME Alien invasions! Jukeboxes! Sensitive monster trucks! Arrow Video is proud to present the first-ever collection of works by Bill Rebane, a quintessential independent regional filmmaker who built his own studio in the Wisconsin wilderness. He played for Hitchcock, he searched for the arms of Venus De Milo, he turned a VW Beetle into a giant spider, and he's still working today! Weird Wisconsin: The Bill Rebane Collection brings together six films, all new to Blu-ray and in brand new restorations, and features a mutated astronaut who terrorizes happy sunbathers (Monster A Go-Go), a contagious apocalypse seen from a remote mountain cabin (Invasion from Inner Earth), deadly alien spores from Martian rocks (The Alpha Incident), rural gothic and pure horror (The Demons of Ludlow), an eccentric film with many dead people (The Game), and a comedy in which three hillbilly lackeys face off against a talking monster truck with artificial intelligence (Twisters Revenge). Filled with new interviews and bonus material, this is an essential collection of films from one of America's most persistent outsider filmmakers!
