New on Blu-ray: DAVID "THE ROCK" NELSON COLLECTION - VOLUME 3 (2002)

The David The Rock Nelson Collection Vol 3 New On Bluray

Product Description: Dubbed “The Ed Wood of the 21st Century”, Des Plaines, Illinois based former marine and Golden Gloves boxer turned gonzo filmmaker David “The Rock” Nelson has been churning out his bizarre and mesmerizing brand of backyard monster movies for over 30 years. Often playing multiple onscreen roles simultaneously while utilizing local friends, his parents, and his girlfriend Janet Okulanis as his co-stars, “The Rock” has amassed a robust SOV filmography and persevered undaunted in the face nonexistent funds, unfavorable reviews, and outdated video equipment. Nelson’s work represents a singular viewing experience like no other: landing somewhere between the earnest monster romps of Paul Naschy and the eccentric video diaries of George Kuchar; where the filmmakers’ real life day to day activities and interactions sometimes outweigh the forwarding of the narrative. Equipped with dime store rubber fright masks and his camcorder, David “The Rock” Nelson has unapologetically crafted a legacy that remains an inspirational testament to the spirit of fulfilling your cinematic dreams at any cost.

In Monster Tales (2002), David “The Rock” Nelson is your Rod Serling style host presenting three terrifying tales of backyard monsters run amok! In the first tale, Nosferatu (Nelson) rises from the grave in broad daylight, transforms into a rubber bat, and wreaks havoc on unsuspecting Chicago bar patrons and the Monster Bash cookout! In the second, the marauding Tor (Nelson in a rubber Tor Johnson mark) terrorizes a cemetery, a library art exhibit, and his own parents amidst repeated outhouse bathroom breaks. Lastly, two werewolves fight a bloody duel to the death after a mad scientist (Nelson again) concocts and consumes a secret wolf man spawning plasma potion. All while the bumbling Detective Rock (Nelson yet again) remains futile; binging sweets, watching monster movies, and denying the existence of the monsters in question. Featuring celebrity “appearances” by Forrest J. Ackerman, George Stover, Ric Flair, Mancow Muller, & Tommy Chong, Saturn’s Core is proud to present Nelson’s SOV anthology epic Monster Tales along with a host of additional brain-smashing extras and madness hand picked by The Rock; including his classic short Mummy A.D. 1993 and hours upon hours of java guzzling special features.
