Sinister Cinema

This is the long awaited English Language version. Barbara has a dual role in this classic Euro-chiller, playing an aristocratic beauty who is possessed by the spirit of a statue. Her fantastic, often erotic performance helps to enhance the dreamily melancholic atmosphere of the house and its grounds, overshadowed by a mysterious lake. The setting is Italy near the end of the 19th century. Near a small village, an old statue is recovered from a murky lake. Not long after, a series of...

This two-disc set features all six episodes of the classic fantasy-horror mini-series. A young girl is stuck in her home due to an illness. To pass the time she draws pictures that, amazingly, come to life in her dreams. She draws a house, which then appears in her dreams. Then she draws a boy in the upper window, who also appears in her dreams. In short, she can influence her dreams by changing her drawings; but when she draws a number of boulders around the house, her dreams become...

This great two-disc set features the rare English-language UK edition, which includes additional footage actually shot in the UK and added to the film. And yes Lorre did dub his own voice for the English version. Also included in this two-disc set is the original German language edition with brand new English subtitles. We all know the story: Berlin has been terrorized by a slew of horrible child murders the whole city trembles with fear. Lorre, as the deranged killer, lures the children by...

There's a plot afoot to steal the Crown Jewels! It all starts when a corrupt businessman breaks a two-bit crook out of Dartmoor prison. Why? To have him impersonate one of the guards at the Tower of London, where the jewels are kept. There are a bevy of sordid characters running about in this slickly made Rialto Studios Edgar Wallace film, but perhaps the best is Klaus Kinski as a finger-sucking killer who pulls the trigger without hesitation. Although neither Heinz Drache or Joachim...

Don't stay at this inn if your a good-looking lady who shows even the slightest propensity toward men. The two crazy-sister inkeepers will have their way with you. A grisly film in which murder victims are hidden in large container of cooking wine. This chilling, Spanish horror film is highly recommended.

This top comedy fantasy has a meek soldier saving his pals with a sword he believes to be Excalibur. Is it real? The final scene has a real twist. A cool movie with great songs, including a fantastic opening number, "You'll Love the Army," sung by the bubbling and beautiful Dall. There are any number of splashy numbers and Askey is at the peak of his comedic career.

Another great '50's "B" horror film from AIP about a woman who is terrorized by the vision of her husband's dead first wife's skull. Weber is wonderful as the new bride who suddenly seems to doubt her own sanity as she comes to live in a "haunted house." Is it really haunted or is there something more nefarious afoot? Then again, just maybe... Some great moments of true fright. Be ready for the highly shocking, supernatural ending. A great B-drive-in movie with a tremendous music score!

A top-of-the-line drive-in classic. Radiation has caused ordinary leeches to mutate into giant monsters. They threaten the folks in a small bayou town. Vickers is at her sleaziest, sexiest best as the local storekeepers unfaithful wife. She and her lover are caught by her husband and driven into the swamp where the monsters pull them down into the slime. Why did she marry Bruno to begin with? Lots of great rubber-monsters-causing-mayem scenes. Unforgettable. From a beautiful 16mm original...

So bad it's great. Martians travel into the void of outer space on a secret mission to Earth. Their mad scheme? Kidnap Santa Claus and bring him back to Mars! For what purpose? To engage his services for brightening the lives of deprived Martian kids, who really don't have a Santa-type character to give them presents once a year. Okay, so this isn't the greatest movie ever made, but it's still a fairly good family Christmas fantasy that's still liked by the young ones in the household. Film's...

Kennedy play an American realtor living an unexciting life in England. Adventure falls into his lap, though, on a weekend when his wife is out of town and he meets up with a gorgeous dame in a bar. His new adventure gets out of hand, though, when he finds himself mired in a plot involving a gang of murdering diamond thieves. From 16mm.

What a gritty, sleazy drive-in B-classic this is it's sooo enjoyable. A man (Kidd) and his oh-so-seductive girlfriend (Statten) have a car accident. He wanders away from the accident, now suffering from amnesia, leaving another driver and his girlfriend unconscious. He falls in with a traveling preacher and takes up a new life as a reverend. Trouble rears its ugly head, though, when his former sexpot girlfriend (now an ex-con) and her crooked boyfriend come looking for blackmail. The wedding...
