SPECIAL ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN EDITON: There are some high quality 4:3 video editions of this film around, but we feel our 16:9 anamorphic edition is the best on the market. This is a minor film noir classic! Sinatra and his pals are hired assassins who come to a small, serene town to murder the President of the United States, who's scheduled to transfer from train to car. Hayden plays the tough town sheriff who's trapped with his pacifist girlfriend and her grandpa (brilliantly played by...

In spite of its rather lurid title, this is really a pretty good movie, similar in some ways to The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler. A horrible series of killings, committed over a period of seven days, has been happening once every 28 years since the 1800s. A baron-turned-vampire is suspected. We have the added attraction that this vampire can sometimes be invisible! The baron's handsome great grandson moves into his ancestor's castle to try and figure things out, but the grisly...

Franco and Ciccio (the Martin and Lewis of Italy) are actually pretty funny. They have a certain shtick that works. The boys are sent into space to imitate a pair of lost Soviet spacemen. They fly near the moon and at one point jump into space (hanging from wires) in a vein suicide attempt. One of the high points is when they discover the remains of the first doggie cosmonaut, its little doggie skull still inside its doggie space helmet. Franco's hat winking is a scream!

This horse-drawn cart is what takes human souls to meet their maker, and the cart's creaky sound is heard by those who are about to die. The early sequence of an impoverished old woman struggling across a field of snow as the sound of the cart's axle rings in her ears is truly eerie. This is a brilliant film, a remarkable dark fantasy that has all the atmospheric...

He also appears to have survived some strange radioactive disease and speaks in a remarkably twisted form of English. Later, the doctor suffers from a freak accident that causes him to lose...
