Crypt of Horror: V is for Vampire - $19.95 |
 Actors
include Francis Lederer, Barbara Steele, Michael
Lynn, Ann Merritt, & Gene Densmore, with direction
by Bill Black & Mario Bava. This is a region-free,
all-ages, unrated DVD movie presentation shot in black & white and
COLOR, recorded on two DVD-R discs. It should play on

the rare 1958 feature starring Francis Lederer; CARNAGE OF
DRACULA, a never-previously-released 1964
COLOR film written, produced & directed by BILL
BLACK, plus other features!! RETURN OF DRACULA was the
FIRST Dracula film of the 1950's; in fact THE first
major-release picture to cover the Dracula legend after the
heyday of the Bela Lugosi era. Star Francis Lederer, a
handsome leading man of the 1930's, gives an offbeat portrayal of
the celebrated Count, and setting his vampiric antics against
the "modern" USA of Eisenhower-era California gives this film an
unusual feel. Though entirely in black and white, the films
heart-staking climax features a flash of
RED color for shock effect. CARNAGE OF DRACULA,
Bill Black's great "lost" horror opus of his film school days of
the mid-1960's, features Michael Lynn as Count Dracula,
again played against the modern world, as a scientist labors to
"cure" the Count of the terrible "disease" that drives him to
feed off the blood of humans. When the treatment takes too long, the
Count reverts to his true age, and must make a meal of the
doctor to regain his vitality. Devotes of moody, Gothic horror genre
pieces should find this disc a winner. CARNAGE OF DRACULA, in
COLOR; is released on this disc
for the FIRST time, ANYWHERE. Horror host Lon Madnight
is great fun in the tradition of the superb late-night fright movie
hosts of the 1950's & 1960's..

The Blob - $14.95 |
 The Original 1958 Sci-Fi Classic.... THE BLOB! Nobody believes
teenagers, especially when they tell you that a pulsating gooey
glob of gunk has fallen to earth in a meteorite. And that this
gob absorbs human beings and increases in size as it glides and
slides thru the streets. But when THE BLOB eats enough townsfolk
to grow as big as a building, the cops finally listen to Steve
McQueen in his first starring role. Produced in Pennsylvania on
an ultra-low budget by Jack. C. Harris and directed by unknown
Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr., THE BLOB went on to become one of the
most memorable of the 1950's monster movie entries. Young actor
McQueen had been working in Hollywood in small, supporting
parts, when this chance at a starring role came his way.
Immediately thereafter, he appeared in an episode of Robert
Culp's TRACKDOWN series portraying a Western bounty hunter, Josh
Randall. Faster than Josh could pull his "Mare's Leg," his
character was spun off into the successful TV series, WANTED:
DEAD OR ALIVE. Fortunately for BLOB producer Harris, McQueen had
developed a name and considerable fan following by the time his
monster movie hit the theaters. Also in the cast was Aneta
Corseaut (later to become a regular on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW)
and veteran character actor, Olin Howlin, who in the 1940's,
played the mysterious disembodied head that narrated the INNER
SANCTUM movie series. It should be noted here that THE BLOB had
its own theme song, and, was the only '50's monster to have one.
This digitally remastered version faithfully reproduces the
entire film, in full color. This all regions video is unrated,
recorded in NTSC format on a DVD-R disc, and should be viewable
in any standard DVD player.

Mario Bava's Black
Sabbath - $14.95 |
 From the imaginative pen of visionary author Jules Verne comes
the fantastic story of Robur The Conqueror (Vincent Price) who
flies across the world in his enormous airship bent upon
destroying the Dogs of War wherever they should appear. U.S.
Secret Service Agent Strock (Charles Bronson) and allies (Henry
Hull, Mary Webster and David Frankham) try to stop him because
his targets include American military. Set in 1848, this was
American International's second period movie designed for "hard
top" theaters. A year earlier, producer/director Roger Corman
had convinced AIP honchos Arkoff and Nicholson to take a chance
on a higher budget production. For years they had churned out
low-budget thrillers for the lucrative drive-in theater market.
But Corman's HOUSE OF USHER proved that AIP could be successful
in first run theaters as well. MASTER OF THE WORLD would be the
fledgling company's second entry into this new arena. The name
value of Edgar Allan Poe combined with actor Vincent Price's
popularity led to box office success. AIP hoped to duplicate
this triumph with another classic author, Jules Verne. Roger
Corman was already busy with his Poe sequel, THE PIT AND THE
PENDULUM, so AIP put action director William Witney at the helm
of MASTER OF THE WORLD. Witney was a past master at bringing in
films on time and within budget as he has began his career at
Republic directing cliffhanger serials (SPY SMASHER, NYOKA & THE
TIGER MEN, etc) and the hugely successful Roy Rogers series.
Based upon Verne's two novels Robur The Conqueror and Master Of
The World, skilled screenwriter Richard Matheson delivers a
literate, lively and highly entertaining screenplay. The robust
music score by Les Baxter proves to be one of his best.
Widescreen, color, 102 minutes- plus extras. This digitally
remastered version faithfully reproduces the entire film, in
full color. This all regions video is unrated, recorded in NTSC
format on a DVD-R disc, and should be viewable in any standard
DVD player.

Fiend Without A
Face - $14.95 |
 In this science fiction thriller from 1957, Marshall Thompson
plays Air Force Major Jeff Cummings, based at a strategic
military installation on the US-Canadian border where fantastic
events take place. An invisible force seems bent on destroying
human life by ripping out brains. It is discovered that fiendish
creatures were spawned at an illicit research laboratory. They
multiply at an alarming rate and it seems their appetite for
human nervous systems is insatiable. The faceless monsters
become visible at the film's climax for a final confrontation
with the ever-diminishing military forces. The visual effects
are quite well done for a '50's low-budget thriller and fans of
this genre will not be disappointed. This Amalgamated Production
originally appeared on a double bill with THE HAUNTED STRANGLER,
starring Boris Karloff. This digitally-remastered black & white
film is available here as an all-regions DVD, playable on any
standard DVD player. This film is not rated, and has a running
time of 75 minutes.
