Don May Jr., Jerry Chandler and Charles Fiedler started this Michigan label in 1997 to release cult horror, science fiction and exploitation films, plus a few outliers such as Triumph of the Will. Collectors know it best for Dario Argento titles. Its own 4K restoration of Suspiria, made from the Italian camera negative and graded with cinematographer Luciano Tovoli, came out on Blu-ray in 2017 and later on 4K UHD.
