Basket Case Limited Edition

Zavvi

 The feature debut of director Frank Henenlotter (Brain Damage, Frankenhooker), 1982s Basket Case is a riotous and blood spattered midnight movie experience. Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who lives in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big Apple and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation. Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it played on the midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-half years), Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS • 4K restoration from the original 16mm negative by the Museum of Modern Art in cooperation with director Frank Henenlotter • High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation • Original uncompressed PCM mono audio • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Audio commentary with writer/director Frank Henenlotter and star Kevin Van Hentenryck • Archival audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter, producer Edgar Ievins, actor Beverly Bonner and filmmaker Scooter McRae • Basket Case 3-1/2: An Interview with Duane Bradley – short film by Frank Henenlotter • Me and the Bradley Boys – interview with actor Kevin Van Hentenryck • A Brief Interview with Director Frank Henenlotter – a strange 2017 interview with the director • Seeing Double: The Basket Case Twins – interview with actors Florence and Mary Ellen Schultz • Blood, Basket and Beyond – interview with actor Beverly Bonner • The Latvian Connection – featurette including interviews with producer Edgar Ievins, casting person/actor Ilze Balodis, associate producer/special effects artist Ugis Nigals and Belial performer Kika Nigals • Belial Goes to the Drive-In – interview with film critic Joe Bob Briggs • Basket Case at MoMA – footage from the 2017 restoration premiere • Whats in the Basket? – feature-length documentary covering the three films in the Basket Case series • In Search of the Hotel Broslin – archival location featurette • The Frisson of Fission: Basket Case, Conjoined Twins, and Freaks in Cinema – video essay by Travis Crawford • Slash of the Knife (1976, 30 mins) – short made by Frank Henenlotter featuring many of the same actors from Basket Case, including optional audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter and playwright Mike Bencivenga • Basket Case and Slash of the Knife outtakes • Belials Dream (2017, 5 mins) – animated short by filmmaker Robert Morgan • Extensive image galleries • Trailers, TV & radio spots • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sara Deck • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sara Deck • Collectors booklet featuring writing on the film by Michael Gingold and a Basket Case comic strip by artist Martin Trafford
