Although there isn't a documentary, the release does include 'Audio outtakes from the Roxy'. The DVD release contains something called 'The Ramones Live: 14-12-78' which was a concert played at the Roxy, so I am assuming it is the same thing

Song listing: Blitzkrieg Bop / Teenage Lobotomy / I Wanna Be Sedated / California Sun / Pinhead / She's the One / Sheena Is a Punk Rocker

Sounds to be an upscaled dvd at 1080i with too fast a frame rate to boot.

I'm not the greatest fan of the film and am happy with the Fox dvd but i feel sorry for those who bought it because it was a premium price for an inferior product.

The 101 artwork is vile, that alone makes me not want to touch it. I haven't seen the film since the vhs days though.

Saw this on Twitter,
We've been informed that copies of
the WYRMWOOD 1 & 2 Blu-ray were
sent out to retailers with disc 1
missing, and a handful was sold
before retailers were advised to
remove from sale last week.

I tend to find it's becoming the norm these days for companies to make mistakes, irrelevant to what it is, disc fault, film fault, etc etc.

'The Curious Dr Humpp' (1969) - Pre-order available from 101 Films direct - £15:00

Release date: July 18

"Part of the American Genre Film Archive range.

The initial run comes with Limited Edition 'O-ring' packaging.

THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP isn’t a movie - it’s a rite of passage. Easily one of the most brainbreaking sensory overloads in exploitation history, the story follows Dr. Humpp and his army of grotesque monsters as they kidnap couples and drain their “blood forces of sex” to keep the doctor eternally young. Directed by the prolific Emilio Vieyra in Argentina, this movie combines artful gothic horror with unhinged sex, comic book pulp, and a talking brain in a jar. Plus a monster who plays the guitar.

Basically, this is what might have happened if Mario Bava collaborated with Doris Wishman after an acid binge. AGFA + Something Weird are thrilled to present a brand new restoration of this iconic sex-horror classic, complete with a new commentary track from filmmaker Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE). Plus LA VENGANZA DEL SEXO, Vieyra’s original “horror” cut of THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP in its original Spanish language with English subtitles."

Special Features

• Newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 35mm internegative
• Commentary track with filmmaker Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE)
• Bonus Movie: LA VENGANZA DEL SEXO - 2K restoration of the original cut of THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP from a 35mm fine grain lab print
• Brain damaged shorts and trailers from Dr. Humpp’s laboratory
• Reversible cover artwork
