#horror – #horrormovies – #Terrifier – #Signature –
Two-disc set includes: Terrifier (2016) Art the Clown, the baleful bufon from “All Hallow’s Eve,” is up to his old tricks-and this Halloween, he’s treating a pair of wee-hours partygoers to unending terror! As he stalks them into a ramshackle apartment building, you can bet it won’t end well for them, or any of the hapless few who try to interfere! Unnerving splatterthon from filmmaker Damien Leone stars Jenna Kanell, Samantha Scaffidi, Catherine Corcoran, and David Howard Thornton as Art. 85 min. C/Rtg: NR Terrifier 2 (2022) As Halloween approached, teen Sienna (Lauren LaVera) was appalled that her kid brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam) wanted to go as Art the Clown, the murderous merrymaker who terrorized their community the year before.

One of the most extraordinary films to come out of 1970’s Japan!
In Tokugawa era Japan, Princess Kiyo (Miki Sugimoto), youngest daughter of mighty Shogun Ienari Tokugawa, weds country lord Tadateru Ogura. Unfortunately for Kiyo, her new husband is a “man’s man” who has no interest in women. To help Tadateru discover his sexual side, his courtiers bring in Sandra (Sandra Jullien, star of RAVISHING DANY and SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES), a French courtesan who arrives in a wooden box, like a porcelain doll. Her extraordinary sexual technique awakens Tadateru to the fun he’s been missing all these years. Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much that he decides it’s too good for commoners and so enforces a sex ban on the rest of his subjects, decreeing that any of them having intercourse will be executed. Soon the enraged populace are storming Tadateru’s castle with a battering ram shaped like a giant phallus!
TOKUGAWA SEX BAN is one of the more extraordinary films to come out of 1970’s Japan, this astonishing mixture of historical epic, sexploitation, grand guignol gore and political intrigue is a real one-off. Director Norifumi Suzuki also helmed the “nunsploitation” classic, Convent of The Sacred Beast as well as the notorious S&M themed Star of David: Beauty Hunting (1979). This is a first time US release for Tokugawa Sex Ban and a world Blu-ray premiere.
STARRING: Miki Sugimoto, Sandra Jullien, Hiroshi Nawa, Yoko Mihara

The world Blu-ray premier of a rare Spanish psycho thriller!
Julio, the only son of a wealthy businessman, living in the coastal city of Avilés in the north of Spain, is a young man with many problems, including a pathological fear of women due to a psychological trauma he suffered during his childhood. One night, as he prowls the sleazier quarters of the city, he picks up a prostitute and follows her to a seedy hotel room. As she tries to arouse him to action, he responds violently, garrotting her with a length of piano wire, leaving her dead on the bed, covered with blood.
Julio takes the train to Madrid and checks into a boarding house in the city. He is much younger than the rest of the residents and soon Monica, the boarding house owner’s teenage daughter, finds herself attracted to the new arrival. More murders by the sinister “wire killer” are reported in the newspapers and it seems the police have no clue as to who it might be. As Monica gets ever closer to the troubled Julio her mother tries to warn her off the young man. But it’s too late; and soon it seems likely that Monica herself will fall victim to the dreaded “wire killer”. This was director GarcÃa de Dueñas’s only feature film. He worked mostly for TV and was a noted film critic in Spain. This is the film’s world premiere on Blu-ray and its first appearance, in any form, in the US.
Cinematography of this rare Spanish “giallo” is by the masterly Fernando Arribas (The Blood Spattered Bride, Blood Ceremony).
STARRING: Lola Flores, James Philbrook, Teresa Rabal, David Carpenter, Maria Rohm

The world Blu-ray premier of a wild Asian horror movie!
Burhan, desperate for wealth and glory, decides to visit the Snake Woman, a mysterious and powerful deity who can confer instant riches on those who obey her commands. She tells Burhan he must kill three women, feast on their blood and eat their breasts. Transformed into Dracula, with cloak and fangs, he sets off on his mission. One killing is all he can take before abandoning the task.
He encounters Nyi Lajang, the Snake Woman’s enemy, a half human/half snake creature. Nyi Lajang offers Burhan a way out of his contract with the Snake Woman. She gives him a silver pin that he must stab Snake Woman with during sex while she is in human form. This will turn her back into a snake and neutralise all her magical powers. This is what Burhan does. But his problems are far from over…
One of the wildest and craziest Indonesian horror films ever made, HUNGRY SNAKE WOMAN is a phantasmagorical ride through a world of cannibal slave maidens, chainsaw wielding heroes, a possessed go-go dancer, exploding rib cages, bizarre black magic spells, a dash of kung fu fighting, buckets of gore, and even a little bit of sex, featuring the legendary Suzzanna, Indonesia’s “queen of horror.” This is a US video premiere and a world premiere on Blu-ray, digitally restored from the original negative. The disc includes the rare English language version of the film. HUNGRY SNAKE WOMAN is directed by Sisworo Gautama Putra, who also gave us the films PRIMITIVES and THE WARRIOR, both starring Indonesian super star Barry Prima.
STARRING: Suzzanna, Advent Bangun, George Rudy, Nina Anwar
