Bucket of Blood (1934) (aka Tell-Tale Heart) Available November 25

4 Evil Eyes

This British obscurity has been a much sought-after horror film by fans for decades. It offers a fairly engaging rendition of the classic Poe story. The acting at times is a bit crude and stilted, but what shines is the use of close-ups to amplify the feelings of brooding horror. There are some great shots throughout the film, especially in the final minutes when it becomes apparent that madness is overwhelming Dryden, who does his melodramatic best as the killer. Kelt, as the old man, sports a pretty scary-looking eye, the grisliness of which is often shown in close-up. It’s a pretty grisly moment when he’s dug up from under the floorboards! This film was released stateside as Bucket of Blood, and as far as we know this is the first time it’s ever been issued in a home video format.

STARRING: Norman Dryden, John Kelt, Yolande Terrell, Thomas Shenton, James Fleck

4 Evil Eyes

YOU’RE INVITED TO ORVILLE’S COMING OUT PARTY… IT’LL BE A SCREAM… YOURS!!

The Set-Up: Five young kinky actors and their artistic director come to a desolate and nearly forgotten burial island, complete with a morbid history of MURDER, RAPE, CURSES and DEMONS. Alan (Alan Ormsby), the brilliant but bizarre Director of the company, has brought them to this foreboding place to dabble in witchcraft; specifically to dig up a fresh corpse and use it in a ritual ceremony which is supposed to raise the dead from their graves. The PAY-OFF: It seems as though Alan has really gathered his “”children”” here, only to play a practical joke on them and then to party the rest of the night away. However, the joke’s on Alan. His bizarre ritual ceremony really does raise the dead from their graves…only they’re in no mood to party! NOTE: “Benjamin” Clark is really “Bob” Clark, the creative director behind the hit films Porky’s, Black Christmas and A Christmas Story among others. Alan Ormsby, though he turned in what has been described as “”…one of the most obnoxious screen performances in history!””, has actually made a mark for himself as the screenwriter for such memorable films as My Bodyguard, Cat People, Karate Kid 3 and Porky’s 2.

STARRING: Alan Ormsby, Robert Philip, Anya Ormsby, Debbie Cummins, Jane Daly
