Distributor puts on a Graveface as it announces new genre titles with a “WOLF,” a “BASTARD” and more

It’s got a new website, too.

Graveface Distribution was founded by Ryan Graveface in 2002 and has released over 180 original albums while distributing many others. Now it has acquired genre Blu-ray outfit Culture Shock, whose discs it has been releasing since 2014, and announced a series of new titles under that banner led by NIGHT OF THE BASTARD (pictured). Directed by Erik Boccio from a script by Boccio, Christian Ackerman and Chuck Foster, NIGHT is about a desert-dwelling recluse who takes on a satanic cult. Also coming on Blu-ray from Culture Shock/Graveface are John Callas’ LONE WOLF, a heavy-metal lycanthropicture from 1988; the 1992 killer-appliance opus THE REFRIGERATOR, from director Nicholas Jacobs; and a double feature of ASSAULT OF THE PARTY NERDS 1 and 2 starring Michelle Bauer and Linnea Quigley. Specific dates and details of all these discs will be announced soon.

Also now being handled by Graveface are tiki/horror-merch company The Black Lagoon Room, Already Dead Tapes & Records and soundtrack labels Scare Flair Records and Mystic Vault. For info on all of Graveface’s labels and products, head over to its new official website.
