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

- 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

- 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.
