Sinister Cinema

Yusuke Kawazu, Emi Shindo, Kathy Moran, Ralph Jesser. Its man against bugs in this cool sci-fi shocker. A plane carrying an atomic bomb is attacked by a new strain of killer bees. The bees have been created by a crazed scientist who has ideas of world domination. This colorful, seldom-scene Japanese sci-fi thriller is pretty wild. Color, scope, 16mm.

Rudolph Klein Rogge, Oskar Beregi, Camilla Spira, Theodor Loos. Directed by Fritz Lang. Another horror classic. Truly one of the best 'mad doctor' movies ever made. This is the supernatural fantasy about the evil Dr. Mabuse, who terrorizes a German city. Not to be missed. From 16mm.

Paul Naschy, Rosanna Yanni, Alberto Dalbes, Maria Perschy, Vic Winner. Paul plays a ghastly hunchback whose only friend, a lady, dies suddenly, leaving Paul to the evil bidding of a mad doctor who promises to bring his gal back to life if Paul does his evil bidding. Lots of grisly murders follow in what is basically an old-fashioned monster movie. Rated R for nudity and violence. Color, 16mm.

Anton Diffring, Arthur OSullivan, Luigi Pistilli, Dagmar Lassander, directed by Riccardo Freda. A monstrous killer is on the loose who throws acid in the faces of his victims.

Cash Flagg, Carolyn Brandt, Brett O'Hara. Cash aka Ray Steckler

Michael Gough, Eric Portman. A real rarity. This is an interesting British ghost story about the reunion of a WW2 bomber squadron. One of those great, twist endings. Top notch acting. From 16mm.

Lucia Bose, Espartaco Santoni, Ewa Aulin. A well-done variation of the Countess of Bathory legend. The evil countess regularly bathes in the blood of virgins to cling to her fading youth. A cool Euro-horror film that's very vampirific. Color, 16mm.

Wolfgang Preiss, Pierre Brice, Dany Carrel. An exhibit of strange female statues in an old windmill turns out to be a bizarre front for a mad scientist who's murdering young girls and using their blood to keep his daughter alive. The statues, needless to say, aren't really what they appear to be. A nightmarish and gruesome film. Need any spare body parts? From 16mm.

Julian West, Harriet Gerard. If you're looking for a fast paced horror film with lots of action go on to another movie in our listings. If you like mood and atmosphere this is probably the greatest horror movie ever made. The use of light, shadow, and camera angles is translated into a pureness of horror seldom equaled, in this chilling vampire-in-a-castle tale. One of the best. This is the longer 72 minute version of this classic horror film, partially in English, partially subtitled in...

Roland Drew, Steffi Duna, Alan Ladd, Greta Granstedt. The first PRC film actually released under the PPC banner
