After giving them some tea, the unwitting couple find themselves transported into the strange, sensual, and terrifying world of Dark Dreams.

Our facility serves as a massive (over 20,000 sq. ft.) climate-controlled film archive where we house negatives and prints for thousands of films, many of which would never have otherwise quite literally ended up in dumpsters or deteriorated beyond repair. Our in-house lab is equipped with state-of-the-art film scanning, digital restoration and color grading suites, which allows us complete control over our digital film preservation efforts. Additionally, in 2015 we launched our own distrubution company, which has allowed us both more control over our release schedule as well as the ability to better market and promote our titles. But, despite all of this, we are still a small company and we rely heavily on selling direct-to-consumers through VinegarSyndrome.com to cover a great deal of our operating costs. As such, by buying direct and "cutting out the middlemen', you are truly helping more films get saved, persevered, and released
