Synapse to Release BASKET CASE 2 and 3 on Blu-ray

Unhinged BASKET CASE sequels coming to Blu-ray.

The only thing more deranged than Frank Henenlotter‘s gonzo 1982 blackly comic horror classic BASKET CASE are its fevered sequels, BASKET CASE 2 and BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY, respectively.

And now, Synapse Films has announce their plans to spit both of these kooky classics out on Blu-ray this August at a SRP of only $19.95 each.

BASKET CASE 2

After surviving a fall from a hospital window, Duane Bradley and his surgically-separated twin brother Belial, 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!

BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY

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!
