(1976) Pauline Quirke, Geoffrey Bateman, Wensley Pithey, Ruth Goring, Shirley Cheriton.  Quirke is brilliant in her portrayal of a pitiful, frumpy, inhibited teenage checkout girl at a small supermarket.  She has a crush on her manager who despises her and lusts for another female employee.  Then strange things begin happening.  It begins with a can rolling across the market floor, seemingly under its own power...  

(1945) Rauli Tuomi, Regina Linnanheimo, Kaija Rahola.  Although this is only marginally a horror film, it is an elegant gothic thriller, filled with old world charm and mysterious goings-on.  The plot revolves around a gathering of people in a creepy mansion, all of whom are seeking answers to an age-old family curse.  What are the secrets of the haunted wing of the mansion?  

(1951) Kamal El-Shinnawi, Ismail Yassin, Souraya Helmy, Mohsen Hassanain. We are blessed with another Ismail Yassin comedy-horror film.  Oh joy!  This one is fairly decent (6.5 on IMDB) with Yassin having to spend a month in a haunted house in order to collect his inheritance...

(1962) Lisa Gaye, Fernando Rey, Virgilio Teixeira, Gerard Tichy.  In widescreen on DVD video for the first time.  A schlocky but fun blend of horror and sci-fi.  A scientist develops a drug that eradicates scar tissue.  He takes a woman and transforms her disfigured face into a thing of beauty. Unknown to him, she is a wanted psycho!  

(1961) Robert Alda, Linda Christian, Neil Hamilton, Ariadna Weltner.   We’re offering a beautiful widescreen edition of this cool drive-in movie.  A devil cult is the subject of this underrated film about a man haunted by the image of a beautiful woman.  Will Christian lure Alda into the depths of the supernatural?  

(1963) Ray Dennis Steckler (aka Cash Flagg), Carolyn Brandt, Brett O'Hara.  A nice widescreen edition of this cult classic.  Ray’s a drifter who’s drawn to an eerie sideshow where he's hypnotized by a gypsy and turned into a killer zombie.  Hidden in cages are other zombies whose faces have been disfigured with acid by the gypsy and her hunchback...

(1965) John Lupton, Narda Onyx, Cal Bolder. Now in widescreen; transferred from a great print.  Jesse and his pal, running from the law, hide out in Frankenstein's granddaughter’s castle.  Big mistake! She then turns his pal into a new Frankenstein monster.  Onyx is delightfully over-the-top as the baroness.  "You are...Igor!"  The lab scenes are a hoot...

(1968) Guillermo De Córdova, Roberto Maurano, Carmin O'Neal.  After a cataleptic seizure, a man is buried alive.  This has all been planned, though, by his disloyal wife and the man’s doctor!  After crawling out of his grave, the man seeks revenge.  He also seeks sex with a variety of women!  

(1974) Twiggy, Michael Witney, Dirk Benedict, Eugen Roche, John Vernon, Michael Conrad.  Twiggy and her husband (Witney) are victims of near death experiences.  Even worse, they are horrified when they discover they are in the cross-hairs of a maniac who, in his madness, leaves the letter W at the scene of their near-fatal "accidents." 

(1976) Bernard Horsfall, Clive Swift, Glyn Houston, Thorley Walters, Simon Oates.  This is a great British made-for-TV feature.  A has-been actor lowers himself to playing a monster in a horror movie.  The monster is known as “the Dummy” and the costume is ridiculous.  However, when the man who stole the actor’s wife shows up on set, the actor starts believing he really is a terrifying monster... 

(1952) Tamer Balci, Hayri Esen, Necla Aygül, Cemil Demirel, Ismail Kara.  A must for bad movie lovers.  This is the first Turkish Tarzan movie. There’s no use being polite just because it was made in a country whose film industry “struggled”—this is a pretty horrible movie.  Awful acting, awful everything.  It’s likely this movie would make Burroughs roll over in his grave...

(1955, aka THE HINDU) Boris Karloff, Victor Jory, Reginald Denny, Nino Marcel, June Foray, Lou Krugman, Peter Coe.  A lavish color adventure about a man who becomes involved with a strange cult that worships a weird fire demon.  In India, a young elephant trainer vows revenge against the cult that killed his family and, when the local Maharajah refuses to help, sets out alone to battle his enemy...

(1972) Johnny Kissmuller Jr., Simone Blondel, Roger Brown, Ettore Manni, Gerardo Rossi.  Film footage shot in the jungle reveals a white jungle man, flying through the air from tree to tree.  An expedition, financed by Lord Carter and led by Captain Fox, set out to find and capture this jungle-man who lives somewhere in the wilds of Africa...

George Hamilton, Cameron Mitchell, Lucianna Paluzzi. This is a real bad movie gem (2.5 on IMDB).  A luxurious yacht is found floating on the Aegean Sea, apparently abandoned, except for two lifeless bodies.  Proceeding from this perplexing beginning, the story—which is told in flashback by Hamilton (who's dead!), revolves around a Greek setting where a stewardess is viciously killed by a masked maniac...

(1929) William Black, Viola Richard, directed by Charles L. Glett.  Don’t bother looking, you won’t find this incredibly rare American-made crime featurette in any of the major film research books or websites.  It’s a little creaky but interesting—especially from a film history perspective.  PLUS:  BOTHERED BY A BEARD (1945) Tod Slaughter, Jerry Verno, John Salew.  Todd does a short reprisal of his Sweeny Todd character...

(1931) Lowell Sherman, Peggy Shannon, Lila Lee, Berton Churchill, David Landau, Joyce Compton.  Sherman gives a grand performance as a doctor who’s fired from his hospital job for being morally corrupt.  He then sets himself up as a plastic surgeon, although he is completely unqualified.   He seduces women, rips off his patients, and soon causes an operating room tragedy that lands him in criminal court...
