The second omnibus in the Fiends of the Eastern Front series, collecting Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion’s thrilling horror tales into a new, definitive edition.

In 1970, Lieutenant Tim Wilson is haunted by the memories of war – not just the bloodshed of the battlefield, but the horrors witnessed at the hand of Captain Constanta, who rescued him after a gruesome encounter with the King-Bats of Maximilian Von Klorr – the Black Max himself! Years later, Lt. Wilson sets out on a journey to hunt down Constanta in his native Romania, and uncovers his origins among beasts and creatures of magic.

Collecting the work of Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion, the second omnibus of Fiends of the Eastern Front follows Constanta’s bloody trail across history, and brings monstrous terror from the skies of wartime France to the streets of 1960s London.

#horror – #horrormovies – #Killers – #SynapseFilms – @synapsefilms –

Once upon a time, the James Brothers, Odessa (Dave Larsen) and Kyle (David Gunn, VAMPIRE JOURNALS), murdered their parents in their own beds. Now they’ve escaped from Death Row and are on the run on a stormy night, looking for a place to hide out. They invade the home of the Ryans, who seem like a typical American family and should be easy to control. But there’s something not quite right about this brood–the women seem more attracted than frightened by these notorious murderers in their house, and Dad (C.T. Miller) has secrets of his own. Things get violently out of hand as the James boys find the night not going as they expected…and there are even more surprises waiting in the basement! The directorial debut of modern cult-favorite filmmaker Mike Mendez (BIG *** SPIDER!, THE CONVENT), KILLERS is a highly stylized crime/horror hybrid that also puts a darkly satiric spin on America’s obsession with violent perpetrators. After a brutal, hypnotic opening set to Iron Butterfly’s In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida, the script by lead actor Larsen and Mendez begins as a traditional hostage drama, before the twisted nature of the James brothers’ hosts starts to reveal itself. It all leads to eruptions of gunfire and gore, and a shocking finale that was toned down in previous releases; now it can be seen in its full uncut glory in the unrated director’s cut, available for the first time on disc in high-definition!

I Walked with a Zombie / The Seventh Victim : Produced by Val Lewton (The Criterion Collection) Available October 8

#horror – #horrormovies – #IWalkedwithaZombie #TheSeventhVictim – #TheCriterionCollection – @Criterion –

Terror lives in the shadows in a pair of mesmerizingly moody horror milestones conjured from the imagination of Val Lewton, the visionary producer-auteur who turned our fears of the unseen and the unknown into haunting excursions into existential dread. As head of RKO’s B-horror-movie unit during the 1940s, Lewton, working with directors such as Jacques Tourneur and Mark Robson, brought a new sophistication to the genre by wringing chills not from conventional movie monsters but from brooding atmosphere, suggestion, and psychosexual unease. Suffused with ritual, mysticism, and the occult, the poetically hypnotic I Walked with a Zombie and the shockingly subversive The Seventh Victim are still-tantalizing dreams of death that dare to embrace the darkness.

The Convent (2000) (4K Ultra HD) Available October 8

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheConvent – #SynapseFilms – @synapsefilms –

In 1960, a young woman named Christine enters St. Francis Boarding School for Girls and lays waste to the resident nuns. Four decades later, a group of college students head to the long-abandoned building late one night to tag it with their fraternity letters, little knowing that rumors of the place being haunted are terrifyingly true. Stir in a couple of disapproving cops and a band of unlikely Satanists, and the table is set for a feast of demonic infestation and bloodshed that only the grown-up Christine (Adrienne Barbeau, The Fog, Swamp Thing) can possibly stop. From its opening massacre, set to the strains of (appropriately enough) Lesley Gore, The Convent is an in-your-face fright film with a full-blooded sense of humor. Director Mike Mendez (The Gravedancers, Killers) both embraces and skewers the traditions of supernatural/possession cinema, with wicked twists that upend expectations and deliver jolts and laughs in equal measure. Not for the devout or the easily offended, the film gives Barbeau one of her best roles as the motorcycle-riding, shotgun-wielding Christine, with bonus appearances by fellow genre icon Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) and rapper/ actor Coolio. The Convent rocked audiences at festivals including Sundance and Fantasia, but has long been unavailable on disc. Now you can possess its uncensored U.S. debut, remastered from the original uncut 35mm Internegative elements, and worship the extensive special features!

Author: J Webster Sharp

The British newspaper clipping collection of egalitarian George Ives, collected between 1892 and 1949, ranged from murder and theories of crime to cricket scores. He was fascinated by the unusual, the gothic, the sexual, and the melodramatic.

In this graphic novel, acclaimed cartoonist J. Webster Sharp shares some of the most bizarre stories from his archives in silent comics form. With often shocking, visceral black and white artwork, the strangeness and eccentricity of the Edwardian era provides a backdrop for Sharp’s own struggles with mental health.

The Scrapbook of Life and Death is a fascinating, personal window into forgotten historical views of eccentric and socially transcendent and disturbing behaviours―and their resonance in life today.

Author: John Kenn Mortensen

For horror fans of all ages, a spine-tinglingly creepy and darkly comedic picture book. Fantagraphics’ third release in English from Danish cult illustrator John Kenn Mortensen.

Gruesome, spindly figures gather outside a house, then spirit away a dreaming youth, bed and all. The stage is set for 32 skin-crawling poems imagining various children’s nightmares, all with sequential illustrations by Danish horror master Mortensen. His eerie visions fade to black at the edges, like a dreamer unable to shift their focus, and inspire delicious terror all by themselves. Similarly, the short poems each evoke a distinct sense of dread for the sleeping imagination to expand upon; together, the words and pictures conjure a nightmarish world tinged with pitch black humor. The sequences splay across double-page spreads, evoking Edward Gorey gone grand scale, and grand guignol.

For those of a nervous disposition, read in bright sunlight. For those in search of a nervous disposition, take two before bed.

Black-and-white illustrations throughout

Author: Roman Dirge

HANDS DOWN, THE FUNNIEST BOOK OF THE DECADE!

From the twisted imagination of Roman Dirge, the Michelangelo of the macabre comes this, his latest magnificent masterpiece – I CAN COUNT TO TEN, the first non-children’s book for adults.

ROMAN DIRGE’S UNIQUE BRAND OF HUMOR SPAWNED THE SUBGENRE FOR CUTE GIRL GOTHIC HORROR/HUMOR.

If you loved Roman Dirge’s unique, anarchic and counter-culture cult classic LENORE: THE CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL, then get ready for his greatest book yet!

Presented as a child’s primer book for maths, I Can Count to Ten is without doubt the single most completely useless teaching aid for anyone looking for a book to teach them how to count to ten. What starts as the cutest counting book in the history of education, soon descends spectacularly into the single goriest, bloodiest, and funniest non-teaching aid EVER, that somehow manages to shoehorn in a sinister government conspiracy and an alien invasion into a gentle tale of a bunch of loveable numbers introducing themselves in order.

Genius is a word bandied about a lot, but what Roman has done here is nothing less than pure genius, creating a genuinely funny belly-laugh of a book that will have any reader crying with laughter.
