Full Moon Features' Shrunken Heads Restored For It Blu-ray Debut On Apr. 13

Full Moon Features, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new film restoration (from the original 35mm camera negative) of director Richard Elfman’s 1994 cult voodoo thriller, Shrunken Heads, primed for a Blu-ray debut on Apr. 13.

Blessed with an interesting cast, that includes Meg Foster (The Osterman Weekend, The Todd Killings, Masters of the Universe, They Live) and Julius Harris in his final film role (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Super Fly, Black Caesar, Live and Let Die, Hell Up in Harlem) as the mysterious voodoo priest, Mr. Sumatra.

The Vipers, run by Big Moe (Meg Foster), make the mistake of slaughtering three nerd-bomber kids from the inner city, whose only sin was they like comic books and were not afraid of standing up to the Vipers.   The local newsstand operation, Mr. Sumatra, who moonlights as a voodoo priest, comes up with a plan for the dead boys to have their revenge.

He sneaks into the morgue holding the bodies of Tommy Larson (Aeryk Egan — Flatliners, The Cure, Book of Love), Freddie Thompson (Darris Love — Gang Tapes, Waist Deep, Single Black Female) and Bill Turner (Bo Sharon — The Puppet Masters) and cuts off their heads.   Once back at his home, he places them in a cauldron full of “magic broth” and boils them up … tosses in a voodoo spell and sets them loose to extract their revenge.

Since the last thing on their collective minds was their comic book superhero adventures, the disembodied heads now have special superhero powers and are able to “fly” about the city and use these special powers to take out Big Moe’s Vipers … one by one by one!!!

Bonus features include a “Behind the Scenes” featurette.
