(1963, Aka Blood of the Executioner) Lex Barker, Guy Madison, Alessandra Panaro, Mario Petri.  Toss those old full-screen versions of this Peplum classic, here at last is a beautiful widescreen copy of this early ‘60s classic from 35mm.  It’s Lex against Guy in this great epic set in the middle ages during the inquisition...  

(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!  

(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...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels.  Our first novel is “Find Eileen Hardin—Alive!” by top tier mystery author, Stephen Marlowe.  Eileen Hardin was barely eighteen, too young to be a call girl!  The second novel is another terrific murder mystery, “Murder on the Make” by Robert Martin.  It was a perfect “murder-for-money” setup...  

(1955) Orhan Erçin, Zafer Önen, Türkan Samil, Özcan Tekgül, Mirella Monro.  This really isn’t much of a movie, yet somehow it kind of works (5.5 on IMDB).  There’s a flying saucer, a dorky robot, an elixir of life, and a plethora of cheesy alien dames who have come to Earth looking for…you guessed it…men!  And who do they find?  

(1967) Andre Reybaz, Georges Douking, Francois Vibert, Magali Noel, Francoise Winskill.  This is a fantastic film filled with a plethora of haunting Images.   It is almost too deep to describe in a simple synopsis.  Let it suffice to say that the story deals with a gem-carver in old Prague who becomes entangled in a web of murder plots and other strange supernatural happenings...

(1961) Bill Travers, William Sylvester, Christopher Rhodes, Bruce Seton, Vincent Winter.  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, FACTORY SEALED VCI VHS pre-record and our quantity is limited.  This is a kind of British version of Godzilla.  Scientists capture a towering prehistoric monster and bring it back to London...

(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?  

(1970) Patty Cakes, Chaz, Pamela Des Barres, Miss Harlow, Goldie Glitters.  This is a fairly obscure documentary about the well-known rock 'n' roll groupies of the late ‘60s.  It’s a fascinating look into the lives of rock and roll’s fringe players, and the depiction is not always a pretty one.  Look for shots of the infamous Plaster Casters...

(1958) Boris Buzancic, Djurdja Ivezic, Antun Vrdoljak, Vanja Drach.  This highly unique thriller centers around two vehicles—a bus and a truck—that are speeding towards each other along a wet, narrow two-lane highway on a stormy night.  Right from the start we learn that the two vehicles will eventually collide because of the actions of a reckless driver.  It’s even pointed out which seats will spell death for their occupants...

(1929) Jameson Thomas, Benita Hume, Basil Gill, Humberston Wright.  This two-disc edition features 35mm transfers of both the sound edition and the silent edition (with music score) of this forgotten sci-fi classic.  An incident at the border of two futuristic countries leads the world to the brink of World War... 

This is the first of two Horror Gems collections celebrating the classic works of “The Unique Magazine,” Weird Tales, featuring Seabury Quinn and others.  The year was 1923 when tales took a turn for the weird with the launch of the world’s first genre pulp magazine, Weird Tales; and here we have a collection of the weirdest and most spine tingling of the first year...

This is the second of two Horror Gems collections celebrating the classic works of Weird Tales, the Best of 1923, Part Two, Otis Adelbert Kline and others.  With so many great tales to cull from the annals of Weird Tales’ inaugural year, there was just no way they could all be contained in one volume, so we’ve collected more of those delectable 1923 fright stories to help you lose plenty of sleep at night...  

(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...

(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...

(1964) Jim Davis, Don 'Red' Barry, Margo Woode, R. Wayland Williams, Tris Coffin.  An inexperienced army lieutenant grabs five volunteers for a dangerous mission from which they may not return.  Their task is simple:  take out the North Korean mortar position that's been pounding U.S. supply convoys and preventing them from reaching the troops at the front line...
