Lost ’90s Slasher ‘Arbor Day’ Makes Home Video Debut in 4K from Terror Vision

Just when your thought Arbor Day was a rare holiday to escape the slasher treatment, a lost film bearing its name has been unearthed.

Arbor Day premiered in 1990 but has never been available in any format in the 35 years since — until now, as Terror Vision has restored the horror-comedy in 4K with HDR.

Limited to 1,000, the three-disc set includes the film on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray along with a featuring-length documentary, Out on a Limb: The Making of Arbor Day.

Special Features:

• Audio Commentary by Director Joseph Sikorski and actors Scott Bradshaw and John Dorcic
• Out on a Limb: The Making of Arbor Day – Feature-Length Documentary
• Out on a Limb Promo Trailer
• Ramblo IV
• Hand Job: Sir Nigel’s Work on Arbor Day
• Extra Interview Clips
• Cannes Abridged 1990
• Isolated Score
• Booklet

While planting a tree as part of an Arbor Day celebration, Elmer Jacobs witnesses the horrifying slaughter of his parents by a grizzly bear. Catatonic for 20 years, he is taunted by apathetic doctors and a cruel hospital staff when he finally snaps like the branch of a tree, and begins a vengeful slaughter, reaping a crop of victims using gardening tools. Unaware of Elmer’s rampage, a group of teens party in his abandoned house only to be chopped down one by one.

Joseph Sikorski directs from a script written by Elmo Birch and Hubie Giblets, the latter of whom helmed Out on a Limb.

Priced at $32.99, Arbor Day is expected to ship in June.
