Many terrifying legends are shared around campfires, but very few of them are true. That’s what teenage Richie thought about the story of Madman Marz, a hulking brute who, as the story goes, murdered his entire family decades earlier and who can be summoned from the dead by calling his name. Unfortunately for Richie and his fellow teenage summer camp counselors, the legend is very true, and Madman Marz is back, freshly sharpened axe in hand, to continue the killing spree he began many years ago…

One of the quintessential and iconic early 80s slashers, Joe Giannone’s MADMAN piles on scares, suspense, and plenty of gory kills. Starring Gaylen Ross (Dawn of the Dead) and featuring colorful photography by James Lemmo (Ms. 45), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the ultimate MADMAN experience on UHD for the first time, from a brand new 4K restoration of the 35mm original camera negative, and featuring hours of extra features including interviews and commentaries with nearly every surviving cast and crew member.
