ARROW Video has unveiled its September 2025 lineup for its subscription-based ARROW platform, featuring a month filled with back-to-school mayhem, creature features, drive-in documentaries, Japanese classics, and more.
The September lineup kicks off on September 5 with “Be Cruel To Your School,” a collection of films perfect for back to school season where sex, violence, and destruction are all part of the lesson plan with titles that include “Massacre at Central High,” “Ninja Academy,” “Cutting Class,” “Girls Nite Out,” and “Dude Bro Party Massacre III.”
On September 8, subscribers will be treated to the highest-grossing films in Japanese history, “Proof of the Man.” Adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Seiichi Morimura, by director Junya Sato (“The Bullet Train”) and screenwriter Zenzo Matsuyama (“The Human Condition” trilogy), “Proof of the Man” is a compelling exploration of racial identity and the trauma of the postwar occupation period, framed in the form of a whodunnit.
On September 12, take a trip through ARROW with C. Robert Cargill Selects, a curated collection of films from the screenwriter, novelist, podcaster, and former film critic known for such films as “Sinister,” “The Black Phone” and the upcoming “Black Phone 2,” “Doctor Strange,” and “The Gorge,” as well as books “Day Zero” and “Sea of Rust.” His genre and cult film podcast, “Junkfood Cinema,” has been running for over a decade.
“I love the Drive In. And I love the movies made for drive-ins, said Cargill. “Throughout history, drive-ins served as the last bastion of artistic freedom and outsider art in America. While theater chains were often picky about the kind of films they would show, drive-ins offered a wider array of films – from the weird and wild to the grotesque and arty.”
“With that in mind, I’ve created some pairings of favorite films I’d love to sit out under the stars and watch with a bucket of popcorn and an ice-cold beer. Kick it off with the heartwarming, movie-loving documentary ‘At the Drive-In’ and chase it down with Brian Trenchard-Smith’s dystopian ‘Dead End Drive-In’. Want some Kung Fu? Try the adorable martial arts Rom-Com’ Heroes of the East’ and follow it up with the insane revenge classic ‘Crippled Avengers’. Need a laugh? Check out George Clooney as the hornball best friend in ‘Return of the Killer Tomatoes’ and follow it up with the modern cult classic silent film ‘Hundreds of Beavers’. Take a trip to a world without people with the sci-fi ‘Last man on Earth’ pairing of ‘Starfish’ and the mind-blowing ‘The Quiet Earth’. Get both laughs and scares with the horror comedies ‘House’ and ‘The Birthday’. So, find the most comfortable spot on your couch, or if you’re feeling adventurous, set up the projector outside, get an ice-cold beverage, and remember again just why we love movies.”
September 12 also marks the arrival of three monster movies, which include:
Gorgo: (New 4K restoration) A volcanic eruption in the North Atlantic brings to the surface a 65-foot prehistoric monster. Two treasure divers capture the creature and take it to London, where it is made the star attraction at a circus. But when a scientist points out that the sailors’ bonanza is only an infant, Gorgo’s 200-feet-high mama comes thundering ashore to the center of London to reclaim her offspring!
The Giant Gila Monster: (New HD master) Somewhere in Texas, a giant gila monster is on the rampage, with some hot-rodding, rock ‘n’ rolling teenagers out to stop it in this 1950s giant monster favorite.
Night of the Blood Beast: (New HD master) Astronaut John Corcoran dies upon returning to Earth after a space mission, but his body is found to harbor an alien parasite that brings him back to life! As the scientists at a remote space research station investigate Corcoran’s mysterious revival, they discover that the alien life form inside him is using his body as a host to incubate its offspring in this 1950s sci-fi/horror favorite from executive producer Roger Corman.
The creature features continue September 19 with a trio of 70s Filipino faves from director Eddie Romero and star John Ashley:
Beast of the Yellow Night: In this Filipino exploitation classic directed by Eddie Romero and starring John Ashley, a desperate criminal makes a bargain with the devil to escape his pursuers, transforming him into a deadly, bloodthirsty creature of the night.
Twilight People: Matt Farrell (John Ashley) is plucked from the sea while skin-diving and taken to the foreboding fortress of Dr. Gordon. He is to become part of the doctor’s diabolical experiment to create a race of superhumans, but the maniacal doctor’s experiments have so far only yielded terrifying, hideous creatures—Pam Grier co-stars as Ayesa the Panther Woman in this 70s drive-in classic.
Beyond Atlantis: A band of adventurers on the search for a reported fortune in buried treasure, investigate many islands to the south of the Philippines, and discover an unknown civilization that may be descendants of the lost continent of Atlantis. Patrick Wayne, John Ashley, and Sid Haig star.
With Halloween on the horizon, the September lineup wraps on September 26 with three terrifying titles:
The McPherson Tape: An early found footage classic, Dean Alioto’s shot-on-VHS alien abduction shocker is set on a typical fall evening in 1983, when a young man was videotaping his niece’s 5th birthday party. As the night’s strange occurrences took place, he kept his video camera running, recording the entire event.
American Mary: The allure of easy money sends Mary Mason (Katharine Isabelle), a medical student, into the world of underground surgeries, which ends up leaving more marks on her than her so-called “freakish” clients.
Masking Threshold: Frustrated by a constant ringing in his ears, a paranoid data analyst documents his obsessive attempts to cure his own debilitating tinnitus through a series of home experiments conducted in a make-shift lab. But as his research becomes increasingly dark and macabre, a horrifying secret behind his maddening condition is revealed with a potential cure more sinister than he could have imagined.
