New on Blu-ray: DROP DEAD FRED (1991) Starring Phoebe Cates & Rik Mayall

Product Description: Although derided by critics upon its initial release, Ate de Jong's DROP DEAD FRED has since become a cult favorite, earning a hardy reputation as one of the strangest and most unhinged 'family' films to ever emerge from a major studio. Starring Phoebe Cates (Gremlins, Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Rik Mayall (TV's The Young Ones), Marsha Mason (The Goodbye Girl), Tim Matheson (National Lampoon's Animal House) and featuring Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Vinegar Syndrome presents the US Blu-ray debut of DROP DEAD FRED, from a fresh 2K restoration and featuring loads of new and exclusive interviews and extras.
