(1933, Upgraded 12/8/21) Lionel Atwill, Sheila Terry, Theodore Newton, Paul Hurst. This is a well done Monogram mystery chiller with Atwill in a dual role. A man seen at the scene of a murder is known to be mute. Yet, he is seen and heard talking while leaving the scene of the crime. Whats the ploy and who's the real killer?  Some tense scenes in a drawing room with detective Paul Hurst just "fooling around" at the piano...

(1966, Updated 12/30/20) Lon Chaney, Carol Ohmart, Jill Banner, Quinn K. Redeker, Beverly Washburn, Sid Haig, Mantan Moreland. Perversely delightful, often hilarious, and downright horrifying. Chaney is the household master of an eerie mansion full of regressive psychos. Mantan Moreland's famous window-slice-and-dice opening scene gives you a grim but humous taste of what's coming...

(1972, Upgraded 12/28/22) Bonnie Bedelia, Ken Howard, Anthony Zerbe. Howard picks up a young, quirky (and very pretty) vagabond woman in the desert. She tricks him into taking her to her desert shack where she breaks his leg with the blunt end of an axe! After that it’s very much like the Cathy Bates-James Caan relationship from Stephen King’s "Misery." In fact, the story is so...

(1966, Upgraded 12/1/21, ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN) Charles Regnier, Ady Berber, Kai Fischer, Ellen Schwiers, Hans Reiser, Christa Linder, Birgit Bergen. Five people have stolen a priceless, legendary emerald from a religious temple. One of them is slain by an unknown killer. The police search desperately for...

(1963, Upgraded 12/30/22) Victor Buono, Diane Sayer, Ellen Corby, David McLean, Davey Davison, Russ Bender. There's a mad killer on the loose in the form of an overweight lab technician. His victims are the nurses who attend his over-possessive mother. Buono, fresh off his success in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, is uncomfortably over-realistic in his role as the demented killer.  There are some pretty grim...

(1974, Upgraded 11/17/21) Andrew Prine, Manuela Thiess, Sherry Alberoni, Gyl Roland. Prine is a human beast who kidnaps women and terrorizes them in his old barn. They are his animal act and he is their ringmaster. There’s even a cool, gross-looking monster in a shed who gets out and reeks havoc...

(1962, Upgraded 12/28/20) Barbara Steele, Robert Flemyng, Montgomery Glenn, Harriet Medin. This film is truly one of the best Italian horror films of the 1960s, wonderfully atmospheric with a terrific music score.  Barbara's the wife of a demented, necrophiliac physician who’s enthralled by the corpses of beautiful women and haunted by the spectre of his first wife, who died... 

(1962, Upgraded 12/28/20) Gert Frobe, Wolfgang Preiss, Senta Berger. Nice remake of Lang's ‘33 classic, "CRIMES OF DR. MABUSE," perhaps even better. The head of an asylum is hypnotically controlled by Dr. Mabuse. The evil doctor has him carry out...

(1963, Updated 4/28/22) Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson, Sandra Knight, Dick Miller, Jonathan Haze. Jack’s a wandering soldier who traces a ghostly lady to the castle of a mysterious baron played by you-know-who. Strange, supernatural things begin to happen...

(1972, aka THE BLIND DEAD, Upgraded 8/24/20) Caesar Burner, Lone Fleming, María Elena Arpón, José Thelman, Pedro Candal, Rufino Inglés, Verónica Llimerá. If you don't like reading subtitles, here's your chance to see the original English language version of this horror classic. Members of a weird cult are blinded by...

(1960, upgraded 4/23/24) Richard Carlson, Juli Reding, Susan Gordon, Lugene Sander. Directed by Bert Gordon. Great fun as Carlson plays a husband-to-be who's haunted by the ghost of his incredibly large breasted ex-girlfriend whom he allowed to...

(1977, Upgraded 11/1/21) Fabio Testi, Ivan Desny Christine Kaufmann, Jack Taylor. The third of Dallamano's trilogy of “schoolgirls in peril” is a good one. A teenage girl’s mutilated body is found. Testi, as a handsome inspector, investigates. Suspected are three girls who have their own secret...

(1969, aka SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT, upgraded 4/15/22) Joachim Fuchsberger, Marianne Koch, Luciano Pigozzi, Helga Anders, Claudio Camaso, directed by Antonio Margheriti.  What a great Euro-horror film this is!  Five people travel by car through a howling storm.  After getting stuck, they make their way on foot through the rain to a nearby forgotten, shunned inn.  It is occupied by a strange man and his wizened, clairvoyant mother...

(1979, Upgraded 12/9/20) John Carradine, Bruce Fairbaim, Trey Wilson, Karen Stride, Lenka Novak. Carradine is an aged vampire who has a bevy of vampiric beauties who lure many of their “customers” back to his lair. One of the campiest movies we offer. Yet in spite of its ludicrous outward facade, Vampire Hookers is really kind of fun... 

(1973, upgraded 5/10/24) Jack Taylor, Dyanik Zurakowska, José Guardiola, Helga Line. An interesting Spanish horror film about a bus load of toursts who visit a small European town totally inhabited by vampires...  

(1939, Upgraded 4/7/21) Sergei Stolyarov, V. Sorogozhskaya, Georgi Millyar. This is a wonderful, epic fantasy with strong horror overtones. Three brothers—all Russian peasants—let their arrows fly, in search of brides. Each arrow lands at the home of their bride-to-be. The youngest brother, Ivanushka, finds that his arrow has landed on a massive lily pad inhabited by a very large frog. However, the frog soon turns into...

(1965, Upgraded 12/31/20) Barbara Nelli, Paul Muller, Erika Blanc, Gordon Mitchell, Michel Forain. This is a great B&W supernatural Euro-horror film, much in the spirit of three other Italian chillers:  Castle of Blood, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock, and Nightmare Castle.  In fact, the only thing missing is Barbara Steele.  The setting is an eerie castle-mansion, complete with torture dungeon and graveyard...

(1961, Upgraded 12/29/20) Barbara Lass, Carl Schell, Curt Lowens, Maurice Marsac, Maureen O'Connor, Luciano Pigozzi, Grace Neame. A creepy, gothic tale about a snarling werewolf on the prowl at a girls' reform school. Suspicion falls upon a new teacher after a horrible, animal-like slaying takes place. Is he really the murdering beast?  There's all kinds of puzzling pieces and eerie late night goings-on in this...
