Be sure to make devotees happy about the bizarre and alternative corners of cinemas, Cultpix signed a comprehensive deal to become the exclusive streaming home for the weird gigantic exploitation and genre film library.
The agreement, revealed on the Cannes Film Market on Saturday, will begin launching a dedicated stuff (SWC) on Cultpix's platform starting June 1. The arrangement was last October 10, after its downloaded DVD-RR Manufacturing Operations (formerly weird videos).
Titles in the deal include "Freaky Things", "All Men Are Apes", "Indecent Desire", "Monsters Crashing Pajama Party", "Gang of Girls", "Satan in Heels", "House of Shame", "Nude on the Moon", "Nude on the Moon", "Deadly Organ", "Deadly Organ", "Teaserama", "Teaserama", "The Underama", "The Undertaker" and his Pals and his Pals and "She".
Lisa Petrucci is responsible for some strange things after the death of founder Mike Vraney, calling Cultpix the “ideal platform for keeping and sharing cult movies in the era of online streaming.”
Petrucci added: “We are excited to include our collections into their services, introducing these unique films to a new generation of audiences while continuing to serve our long-term fans.”
The Cult Film Preservation Band will maintain existing partnerships with physical media distributors including the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA), Severin Films, Kino Lorber, Distriblpix Inc. and Vinegar Syndrome.
Rickard Gramfors, co-founder and CEO of CultPix, called the expanded partnership a natural evolution of their existing relationship with weird things, "a key content partner since its release four years ago."
"This expanded partnership allows us to provide a more comprehensive cult and genre film to members around the world," Gramfors said.
The weird archives built by Vraney and Petrucci over the decades will get their own dedicated sections on the CultPix platform, complete with the archive's unique aesthetic and branding. The film will be launched gradually across categories and will regularly highlight special curated collections.
Despite the extra content, CultPix has recently lowered its global SVOD service pricing to $5.99 per month or $49 per year. The service has accumulated over 1,800 title libraries through partnerships with more than 50 content providers, including 11 film institutions and the National Archives.
Streaming has also expanded its technological footprint, recently launching apps for Amazon FireTV and Android TV platforms to improve accessibility. CultPix has a big business at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and they also promote new Blu-Rays at sister company Klubb Super 8.
