(1952, Upgraded 11/3/21) Bela Lugosi, Arthur Lucan, Maria Mercedes. Bela went abroad for this wacky British horror comedy and it was the last time he was seen on screen in his Dracula cape.  There's a bit of an espionage plot, which results in the kidnapping of Mercedes at the film's beginning.  However, the real star of the show here isn't Lucan as Mother Riley, but Lugosi as a maniac who...

(1952, Upgraded 11/8/21) Bela Lugosi, Duke Mitchell, Sammy Petrillo, Charlita, Muriel Sanders. Bela looks pretty bad, and was probably at the height of his drug addiction as he portrays a mad scientist who injects an American crooner with a serum that transforms him into an ape. Still great to see Bela stalking...

(1959, upgraded 8/31/23) Horst Frank, Michel Simon, Paul Dahlke, Herlmut Schmid, Christiane Maybach, Michel Simon. Another must-see film! A serum that keeps severed portions of the human body alive is used by a mad doctor on its own inventors decapitated head. Horst Frank, as Dr. Ood, is a total nut-job and gives what is easily one of the best mad scientist portrayals of the 1950s.  The insane purpose of his experiments is to give his hunchbacked nurse assistant a new body.  Creepy and atmospheric. A very gothic sci-fi horror film and one that we highly recommended. Please note that our version, which is completely uncut and in English, has the original U.S. Trans-Lux opening and closing titles.  From a beautiful 35mm print.

(1935, Upgraded 10/29/21) Tod Slaughter, Sophie Stewart, D.J. Williams, Eric Portman, Clare Greet. Our print features the original British "Maria Martin" opening titles. This film features Tod at his lecherous best.  It's the ultimate story of a sweet, innocent girl gone bad. Her naiveté leads her into Tod's evil clutches which in turn lead her to death's doorstep...

(1936, Upgraded 10/27/21) Tod Slaughter, Stella Rho, John Lister, Eve Lister, D.J. Williams. Tod's most famous film. Two maniacs murder for profit, hack up the bodies, and then sell thim in meat pies. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it. The scenes of Todd dumping his victims from his barber chair, backwards through a secret floor panel into his musty basement below really packed a jolt back in 1936.  Quite grisly even by...

(1937, Upgraded 11/11/21) Tod Slaughter, Marjorie Taylor, D.J. Williams, Eric Portman. One of Tod's best! The mad killer known as “the Spinebreaker" is on the loose and terrorizing London with a series of gruesome killings. Tod once again threatens the beautiful, innocent Marjorie Taylor.  Can Scotland Yard catch the...

(1939, Upgraded 11/11/21) Tod Slaughter, John Warwick, Marjorie Taylor, Robert Adair, Harry Terry. If you've never seen a Slaughter film before, this is the one to start with. There's a monster, a mad killer, and a crazed scientist experimenting with the reanimation of the dead.  The victims often see the face of a misshapen monster leering in their windows, momments before they...

(1940, Upgraded 10/28/21) Tod Slaughter, Sylvia Marriott, Geoffrey Wardwell, Hillary Eaves. Many consider this to be Tod's best film. It's sooo gothic and fill with rich macabre goings-on.  Tod's a maniac (of course) who falsely claims an inheritance in a mysterious mansion after bumping off the rightful heir. There's also a pregnant girlfriend he has to contend with:  "I'll make you a bride...a bride of death! heh, heh, heh!" Todd has great fun as he...

(1943, Upgraded 9/16/21) George Zucco, Mary Carlisle, Dwight Frye. This is Zucco's only film where he plays an actual monster. He has two roles, a good brother and a bad brother. The bad brother just happens to be a bloodthirsty vampire that...

(1943, PRC, Upgraded 12/5/21) George Zucco, Wanda McKay, Robert Livingston, Noel Madison, Charles Middleton, Byron Foulger, Robert Middlemass. Zucco is the manager of a mysterious inn filled with terror and murder...
