Synapse Films: Basket Case 2 and 3 Coming to Blu-ray Posted June 8, 2016 06:31 PM by



Basket Case 2 and Basket Case 3: The Progeny. The two releases will be available for purchase this August.



Basket Case 2



Synopsis: Duane Bradley and his surgically-separated twin brother Belial return in this frightfully gory follow-up to Frank Henenlotter's original monster movie classic, BASKET CASE. After surviving a fall from a hospital window, the two brothers become media targets. Duane's aunt, Granny Ruth (played by world-famous Jazz singer Annie Ross), whisks the duo away to a secluded mansion, where other freaks-in-hiding live out their days away from public scrutiny. When a snooping tabloid reporter finds the location of the mutants, Duane and his new family must stand together to keep their freedom a secret. And, in all the chaos, Belial might actually find true love!



Synapse Films is proud to present BASKET CASE 2 in a beautiful high-definition transfer from the original 35mm camera negative

Basket Case 3



He's back. He's bad. And, he's a dad! Belial, everyone's favorite beast-in-a-basket, is back in this sensational third film in the wildly macabre BASKET CASE horror series. Synopsis: After being separated again from his conjoined twin brother Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck), Belial finds out he's going to be a deformed daddy! Mrs. Belial ("Eve", played by Denise Coop) delivers a litter of bouncing baby monsters, but the blessed event turns into a nightmarish ordeal when the police kidnap the little critters. They should know it's not safe to anger Belial! Attacking the cops in a climactic, gory rampage, everyone's favorite mutant mauler stops at nothing to get his newborns back!

Gardenofstone10 Jun 08, 2016 I forgot there were sequels. I love the original!

FarewelltotheFlesh Jun 09, 2016 I'll be picking these up. I bought the UK release years ago but the folks at Synapse are perfectionists and will deliver a better transfer. Looking forward to picking these up. Also, great artwork!

Dave616 Jun 09, 2016 Cool, all we need now after this is Brain Damage on Blu-Ray. HeartPalmeiras Jun 09, 2016 are these the same extras as the UK trilogy release? i bought that one but one of you guys mentioned you think these will be better transfers? not too sure how much better it would be but if it is cheap enough i will probably get these to support Synapse.

nikon76 Jun 10, 2016 @Dave616 Absolutely Brain Damage! That'd be major!!
