(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...

(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...

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...

aka WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO SOLANGE. Fabio Testi, Karin Baal, Joahim Fuchsberger. A teacher from a girls’ school is having a fling in a boat with one of his students when they see a knife killing on t

(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...

(1930) Charles Bickford, Raquel Torres, Nils Asther, George Marion, John Miljan, Boris Karloff.  This sea monster movie involves a larger-than-life manta ray that preys on West Indies divers...

Armchair Fiction presents classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The leadoff novel is “The Secret of Elena’s Tomb” by Karl Tanzler von Cosel. This is a novelized true story of death and rejuvenation. And readers beware, this frightfully delicious tale of love, obsession, and science gone mad is morbidly true and not for the faint of heart.  The second novel is Amazing Stories regular Leroy Yerxa’s “Witch of Blackfen Moor.” Summoned just before midnight, Doctor Thaddius Quantry raced to the looming fortress of Blackfen manor, which stood in the desolation of the moors as an unwavering beacon in the darkness. As he neared the manor, an agonized scream broke through the eerie stillness of the moor.

(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...
