Throughout the 1990s, a serial killer terrorized upstate New York. After a decade-long crime spree conducted largely under the radar of law enforcement, the killer left behind the most disturbing collection of evidence homicide detectives had even seen – hundreds of homemade videotapes that chronicled the stalking, abduction, murder and disposal of his victims.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes examines these horrific tapes at length: what they reveal about the killer, why they were made and how FBI profilers have used them to better understand violent, psychopathic behavior. The Poughkeepsie Tapes combines interviews surrounding the devastating impact of the "Water Street Butcher," with shocking footage from the tapes themselves."

Way back in 2009, we reviewed a Found Footage flick called The Poughkeepsie Tapes, right HERE. Reading back through that review tonight, I have to say that the picture captions were on point.
Anywho...
The movie grew in reputation as being disturbing as hell, but never found any sort of proper release after multiple tries. But now, Scream Factory, the hardest working release company in the Horror biz (that's probably hyperbole), is making sure that fans can finally see the Dowdle Brothers' neo-classic.
To us, it's like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer meets Found Footage. It's disturbing as shit.
Get hype.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes hits Blu-ray on October 10th.
