Build Your Own Box Set: IRISH HORROR COLLECTION

Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all! Saint Pats is best known for three things Drinking, The Parade in NYC , and Drinking. But this St. Patrick's Day let's make note of Ireland's contribution to Horror!!! OK so it's not a tremendous contribution, but hey besides the Japanese I think the Irish are the only other country to use Mushrooms as a bad guy... well, you'll see.
So here is our Irish Horror Collection box set ...and NO There are no films from the Leprechaun franchise represented in this fictitious set. Honestly I'm sick of the little bastard.

Disc 1 - DEAD MEAT


Tourist Helena (Marián Araújo) and her mate Martin (David Ryan) are traveling by car through the County of Leitrim, Ireland, when Martin hits a man. He brings the body to his car, and the corpse returns to life and bites him. Helena looks for help in a cottage and is attacked by Martin. Soon she realizes that the place is infested with zombies. She meets the gravedigger Desmond (David Muyllaert) and they cross the countryside trying to find a safe place. They soon become aware that the mad cow disease has infected humans transforming them into the living dead. Gotta watch those cows when visiting Ireland...


Disc 2 - RAW HEAD REX


Ireland will never be the same after Rawhead Rex, a particularly nasty demon, is released from his underground prison by an unwitting farmer. The film follows Rex's cross country rampage, while a man struggles to stop it. OK not a good movie, but this holds a special place in my dark fetid heart, as one of the first VHS rentals I had with my very own video club membership when I was a kid. (note- I used the VHS packaging above)


Disc 3 - SHROOMS


3 couples go into the woods of Ireland to collect magic mushrooms and trip out. On their way they meet some strange inhabitants and it doesn't take long until a creepy story is being told by the campfire which might be more than just a story. So strange things happen, people start disappearing, silhouettes move through the woods and the creepy story starts to melt into reality. The horror kicks in along with the effects of the mushrooms.


Disc 4 - ISOLATION


The story takes place on a run-down cattle farm in Ireland, What is it with the Irish and Mad Cows? Something is growing in one of introvert farmer Daniel's cattle sheds and Jamie and Mary, young couple on the run, are about to be seriously affected by it. After allowing local scientists to perform genetic experiments on his cattle, A mutated calf is born and goes on the hunt. Evil cows rule.
