Arrow Video Brings You Terror This Fall. THE EXTERMINATOR & CAT O NINE TAILS Blu; PIECES & DEADLY BLESSING DVD

I love posting Arrow Video news, and today I've got four announcements for their Blu-ray and DVD lines.  Not much commentary from me today, except to remind you to check out the awesome artwork from The Dude Designs' Tom Hodge on The Exterminator!

Overview: Scorching the streets clean...

Flamethrowers ready as the alleyways of skid row are set ablaze with the brutal vengeance of one man... The Exterminator!

John Eastland has been to 'Nam and he's seen things... Things you wouldn't believe. Surviving torture and witnessing the brutal deaths of his friends, John returns home to a tough neighbourhood in New York and his loving family. But when some local thugs take a crippling dislike to his best friend Mike, leaving him paralysed, something snaps in John. Did he fight the Vietcong for this?

Taking the law into his own hands, Eastland sets out to clean the streets of every low life, good for nothing gang banger, mobster and ghetto ghoul across the city in director James Glickenhaus' (McBain) brutally violent vigilante classic.

Next up is Dario Argento's Cat 'O Nine Tails

Overview: Caught between the truth and a murderer's hand!

A break in at a genetics lab leads to a spiralling vortex of bloody murder in Cat O' Nine Tails, Dario Argento's 70s Giallo classic.

Strange circumstances surrounding the crime pique the interest of a journalist and a blind crossword compiler whose sharp ears have overheard talk of blackmail. However, all the would be investigators leads soon regret the help they gave as scientists die in front of speeding trains and photographers are viciously slain while others fall to their screaming deaths down elevator shafts in this surreal and nightmarish thriller from one of the acknowledged masters of Italian horror.

As the body count increases, will no one escape the sting of The Cat O' Nine Tails?

Then two titles on DVD, first Deadly Blessing

Overview: They'll Build A Barn From Your Bones!

Wes Craven unearths the darkness that festers beneath an isolated community in Deadly Blessing, a rural tale of mistrust and bloody murder from the director of Last House on the Left.

When Martha marries into a close knit sect she finds herself shunned as an outsider by its fanatical members, but when her husband dies mysteriously while riding a tractor expressly forbidden as a tool of the devil, things take a darker turn. Marked as a incubus by her neighbours, time is running out for Martha and her visiting friends, as plagued by nightmares and fearing for their lives, they face the violent fury and retribution of old time religion.

One of Hollywood's masters of terror presents a tale of rural horror and simmering evil from the golden age of video terror.

And releasing next monday, Juan Piquer Simón's classic, Pieces

Overview: When you meet him, you'll go to PIECES!

Jigsaw puzzles can be maddening. They drive to distraction. You might even go so crazy to take your own mother down with an axe...

On a Boston Campus, young girls are missing out. Missing out on hands, feet, arms and heads as a certain puzzled psychopath, forty years down the line, carves a bloody swathe through the female college population.
