Better
Dead Than
Wed on July
1st
Navarre
Corporation’s
BCI
Announces
John Waters’
Cult TV Show
Til Death Do
Us Part
For the
First Time
on DVD Don’t
Fear the
Groom
Reaper!
Los
Angeles,
CA
– Director
John Waters
has become
an icon of
independent
film with
ground-breaking
works like
Pink
Flamingos
and
Hairspray,
so it’s no
surprise
that this
foray into
television
would push
the envelope
in both
content and
taste. On
July 1st,
BCI, a
Navarre
Corporation
Company,
will release
‘Til
Death Do Us
Part,
the series
that lets
Waters run
amok with a
campy
marriage of
madcap
melodrama
and macabre
humor. This
beautifully
packaged
3-disc box
set contains
all 13
episodes
(plus a
bouquet of
never-before-seen
bonus
footage of
Waters at
work) and
will be
available at
the SRP of
$29.98.
“We are
pleased to
present this
twisted TV
show to our
audience,
not just
because it
features an
original
talent like
John Waters,
but also
because it’s
a unique
series that
many missed
the first
time it
aired,” said
Cliff
MacMillan,
BCI’s
Director of
Brand
Management
and
Acquisitions.
“We know
fans of
Waters will
love it, but
so will
anyone with
an interest
in the
offbeat.”
John Waters
is the host
of this
wickedly
amusing
anthology
series about
what happens
after the
honeymoon.
Known to the
viewer
simply as
“the Groom
Reaper,”
Waters leads
us through
slyly sinful
stories of
vindictive
and vicious
husbands and
wives with
each
cautionary
tale ending
in one
spouse
pushing up
the daisies
- always to
the delight
of our
naughty
narrator.
"We asked
fans if they
wanted to
see this
amazing show
on DVD, and
they said,
‘I do!’”
stated Jeff
Siegel,
FremantleMedia's
VP of Home
Entertainment
for the
Americas.
“Now, with
BCI, we are
happy to
provide them
with an
excellent
shower gift.
That is, if
the shower
they are
planning is
anything
like the one
in Psycho."
‘Til Death
Do Us Part
is like no
other TV
series - an
unlikely
marital
mash-up of
‘50s soap
opera
hysterics,
the black
comedy of
“Alfred
Hitchcock
Presents,”
and a touch
of good old
tabloid
sensationalism
that all
adds up
to perverse
entertainment
that’s
custom made
for the
wicked wit
and demented
mind of John
Waters.
