Campy, quirky and stuffed to the brim with more double entendres than your average Carry On movie, 1988's Elvira: Mistress of the Dark helped solidify the horror hostess (played by Cassandra Peterson) as a major pop culture icon, here owning every inch of the screen with her quick wit, sass, and of course, cleaving-enhancing gown!

With a stunning performance from the often naked Cecilia Pezet, the film inspired the Salma Hayek character in Tarantino script of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. Sister Maria (Pezet) is known in the convent for her good works and charity, but, in the secret depths of her sexual fantasies, she is tormented by visions of another world - a world where her forbidden passions are allowed to run free. In this world Satan is her master. As her acts of violence and blasphemy mount, Maria realizes that she has been chosen by the Devil to destroy the convent and lead her sister nuns into hell!

To pay their way they sell Scandinavian porn mags and nude pictures of Ingrid. But then they get busted by the cops and are given 24 hours to leave the country. Instead of leaving they take to the road, where they come up against a thieving biker gang and then are mistaken for a pair of bank robbers. Heading south in a hurry, they run out of gas in the middle of nowhere and take refuge in the house of Barbara Slater (Irene Papas) a seemingly bored middle-aged housewife who appears to be up for some sexual shenanigans. The naïve pair party with Barbara but soon discover that she is hiding a terrible and deadly secret. Directed by the legendary Umberto Lenzi of CANNIBAL FEROX fame, this sexy thriller in the Italian “giallo” style is a taut and suspense-filled entertainment with a deviously twisted plot and all the trappings of the “hippie” 1970s, Euro-style.

For his penultimate film, exploitation legend Al Adamson (SATAN’S SADISTS, DRACULA VS. FRANKESTEIN) made perhaps the strangest movie of his career with this surreal foray into ‘family entertainment’. Severin Kids presents Adamson’s first children’s movie, a delightful tale of alcoholism, domestic violence, a talking chimp with a brassiere fetish, vivisection, suicide, ‘The Freak-Out Girl’ Regina Carrol – in her final performance – flaunting an array of skintight/low-cut outfits, and not a single role for children. Don Stewart (THE GUIDING LIGHT) and Joe Cirillo (GHOSTBUSTERS) co-star in the infamous ‘80s oddity that has been hailed as “Possibly the worst kiddie movie ever made,” (DVD Drive-In) and “The finest family film since E.T.” (Joe Franklin). Now scanned from the only surviving pre-print 35mm elements with all-new Special Features – including his last complete feature, the Sandra Dee starrer LOST – that reveal Al’s bizarre kiddie matinee legacy.

As night falls and the wind starts howling, Sian witnesses the shocking sight of Phil burying Elias's dead body in a shallow grave in his front garden!

Los Angeles, 1991. It's been six years since Jack Deth wiped out the last of the Trancers - those zombie-like creatures whose mission is murder. Jack has rebuilt his life in the present with his new wife Lena. He's also got a new job in commodities dealing with his old buddy, Hap Ashby, an ex-baseball hero. Now Jack's got a strange feeling in his gut - the kind you get when Trancers are around. Jack's sixth sense proves him right when he discovers a Trancer at Hap's place, ready to go in for the kill. But Jack hasn't lost his touch, and in a flash he eliminates the first of many Trancers to come. If that's not enough, Jack learns that another special agent, Alice Stillwell, has been sent back "down the line" to the present to help fight the new wave of Trancers. Problem is, she's Jack's former wife, whom he thought dead, and she's lost somewhere in Los Angeles. So Jack's vacation is over. He's back to his Trancer-hunting ways and must find and destroy the source of the new killer-zombies. They are actually led by Dr. Wardo, the brother of Whistler whom Jack killed five years ago. He must also find the missing Alice and decide whether to go back "up the line" with her, or stay in the present with Lena. Get ready for the ride of your life.

A young wife (Brooke Adams, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers) suspects that a mysterious doctor (James Karen, The Return Of The Living Dead, Poltergeist) has inseminated her with mutated sperm in an attempt to create a super-human fetus. Unfortunately, there are extreme side-effects. More frightening than Rosemary's Baby, this chiller features early film roles in the careers of Lisa Kudrow and Kathy Griffin. Why We Love It “It’s stylish and a little smarter than you might expect but it also goes for the gusto in the ways a horror fan wants… The new 2K scan of this title does well by the film’s moody, soft-lit look and the lossless 2.0 stereo track gets the job done nicely.” – Don Guarisco, Schlockmania! “I’d watch this over Rosemary’s Baby anytime! It’s much more entertaining & the replay value is definitely better here.

Originally entitled PICKING UP THE PIECES, and featuring special effects from the legendary Tom Savini (MANIAC/ DAY OF THE DEAD), this first class mix of gore and guffaws makes its worldwide BluRay debut from 88 Films. Proving that a madwoman can be far more threatening than a madman, BLOODSUCKING PHARAOHS IN PITTSBURGH introduces us to a weapon-wielding femme-fatale who is dedicated to lopping off limbs and chalking up a high body count in the name of an ancient religious cult. What results is a plethora of slice and dice silliness and one of the most deranged, but darkly humoured, hack 'em ups ever unleashed. Starring Veronica Hart, the erstwhile adult movie legend from such late night masterworks as AMANDA BY NIGHT (1981), as a crazy killer with a shapely shape, and paying homage to everything from BLOOD FEAST (1963) to THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978), BLOODSUCKING PHARAOHS IN PITTSBURGH proves once and for all that the female of the species is far deadlier than the male!

We filmed at WKU, the OLD Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, and a downtown warehouse for the interior scenes. We also used an old farmhouse in Richpond, KY for the exterior scenes. This was “The Burber House”. HauntedWeen took 23 days to shoot the principal photography and then another 2 years to complete. It was shot on 16mm film and transferred directly to video. We sold a little over 2,000 copies with a money back guarantee. No one sent a copy back to us. HauntedWeen was a independent film project of passion. After graduating with a Film/TV production degree from WKU, I wanted to show Hollywood that we could make movies in Kentucky. It became my quest. More than 200 people worked on the film at different times. Without the help of the local community, it would have been impossible to make the movie. There were many local companies that helped us make our film, Houchens markets, Dominos Pizza, Subway, RC cola, Dixie Cream Donuts, The Capitol Arts Theatre, Wilbur Sprouse, (107.1 The Gator), Barry Williams, WBKO, and too many news outlets to name… are just a few of the local supporters and folks that helped. This DVD release will give everyone who worked on the film and lifelong memory. If you knew someone that was in the movie or even heard about it, you can buy the DVD and get a better understanding of how we accomplished the goal of delivering the film. The DVD includes The Movie, Director/Producer Commentary, a photo album, the original trailer, the unseen HauntedWeen music video, and the never before seen, The Making of HauntedWeen. The Making of HauntedWeen, is a 45 minute documentary. It’s a behind the scenes look at the film’s secrets, the personalities, and the decision making process of how we filmed particular shots. So BUY this movie with over 4 hours of quality entertainment… it’s entertainment for sure. “Hauntedween” DVD – http://hauntedween.com/ A Run Through '91 “The Guyver” Blu-Ray Review (Import Blu-Ray)![]() LOST FOR CENTURIES…ONLY ONE MAN CAN ACTIVATE IT!
