SECRET OF THE MUMMY (1982) Joel Barcellos, Rubem Barra, Carla Bayton.  Scorned when he announced his discovery of the “elixer of life,” a scientist, Professor Vitus, devotes himself to the recovery of a map that has been divided into eight parts.  But when the professor gets the map back together, he ends up making a startling archaeological discovery: the tomb of Runamb, the Mummy...

(1932, aka GEHEIMNIS DES BLAUEN ZIMMERS) Theodor Loos, Else Elster, Hans Adalbert Schlettow, Wolfgang Staudte, Peter Wolff, Oskar Sima.  This fine German old dark house chiller actually pre-dates the classic 1933 Universal film of the same name.  So it’s apparent the Universal version was actually a remake.  We all know the story: horrible murders occur in a “haunted” room in a mysterious chateau riddled with mysterious characters and secret passageways...

(1958, Upgraded 1/16/23) John Hudson, Peggy Weber, Alex Nichol, Russ Conway, Tony Johnson. Another great '50's “B” horror film from AIP about a woman who is terrorized by the vision of her husband's dead first wife's skull. Weber is wonderful as the new bride who suddenly seems to doubt her own sanity as she comes to live in a "haunted house."  Is it really haunted or is there something...

(1973) Fred Holbert, Leigh Mitchell, Robert Knox, Ron Bastone, Suzie Hamilton. An American-made horror pic that defies description. A whacked out kid mows down his dad with a tractor and somehow mana

SCHALCKEN THE PAINTER (1979) Jeremy Clyde, Maurice Denham.  It is amazing to see Clyde, a former British Invasion heart-throb (Yes…Chad and Jeremy!) giving an outstanding performance in a marvelous gothic horror film.  Based on the J. Sheridan LeFanu (the man who gave us Carmilla) short story of the same name. A lovely maiden (Kennedy) disappears after being forced into marriage with a mysterious man...

(1947, Updated 11/8/21) Bela Lugosi, George Zucco, Nat Pendleton, Molly Lamont, Douglas Fowley, Angelo Rossito. One of the more novel concepts in the history of horror films, the entire story is told by the spirit of a dead lady who's body is lying on a cold slab in the morgue.  A creepy old mansion is the scene where a girl is literally scared to death...

(1975) Kim Novak, Doug McClure, Alejandro Rey, Jim Davis.  McClure and his Coast Guard helicopter pal come upon a shipwreck in an area known as “the Devil’s Triangle.”  When McClure is lowered to the ship he finds dead bodies all over the place.  The only survivor is a beautiful blonde (Kim Novak), who’s in a confused state of mind.  Little does McClure suspect that the evil power that caused all the deaths will soon return...

(1969, Anamorphic Widescreen) Rosanna Yanni, Janine Reynaud, Chris Howland, Alexander Engel, Adrian Hoven, Michel Lemoine, directed by Jess Franco. This "Red Lips" series entry could easily pass as a spy movie, an action thriller, even a comedy.  But since there’s a mad artist with a wolf man assistant, we decided to stash it in our horror section...

(1963, Upgraded 10/28/21) Arch Hall Jr, Helen Hovey, Richard Alden, Marilyn Manning. The greatest low-budget, psycho-horror movie ever made, period, bar none. Three people driving into LA for a Dogers game have car trouble and pull into an old wrecking yard where thry're held at bay by a bloodthirsty psycho and his crazy grilfriend. They put their captives thourgh pure hell in this thriller that was easily 10 years ahead of its time...

(1970) Anna Cropper, Amanda Walker, Julian Holloway, Bernard Hepton, Andy Bradford.  This made-for-TV chiller has the same kind of feel as Christopher Lee’s The Wicker Man. After parting ways with her long term lover, Cropper takes refuge in a lonely country house.  She gets to know the local villagers, who seem friendly at first; yet there seems to be something latently sinister about their...
