Mill of the Stone Women (1960) (Special Edition) Available December 3

#horror – #horrormovies – #MilloftheStoneWomen – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

Before Black Sabbath, before The Whip and The Body, director Giorgio Ferroni (The Lion of Thebes, Blood for a Silver Dollar) introduced audiences to period horror Italian-style with his chilling 1960 shocker Mill of the Stone Women – a classic tale of terror redolent with the atmosphere of vintage Hammer Horror.

Young art student Hans von Arnam (Pierre Brice, Night of the Damned) arrives by barge at an old mill to write a monograph about its celebrated sculptures of women in the throes of death and torture, maintained and curated by the mill’s owner, the hermetic Professor Wahl (Herbert Böhme, Secret of the Red Orchid). But when Hans encounters the professor’s beautiful and mysterious daughter Elfi (Scilla Gabel, Modesty Blaise), his own fate becomes inexorably bound up with hers, and with the shocking secret that lies at the heart of the so-called Mill of the Stone Women.

The first Italian horror film to be shot in color, Mill of the Stone Women prefigured a raft of other spaghetti nightmares, including the work of maestros Mario Bava and Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this this superb restoration of one of the foundational titles of Italian horror.

STARRING: Scilla Gabel, Wolfgang Preiss, Liana Orfei, Pierre Brice

THE FIRST MONSTER MUSICAL!

In what The New York Times hails as “his cinematic tour-de-force,” American exploitation auteur Ray Dennis Steckler (WILD GUITAR, RAT PFINK A BOO BOO) created what was billed as ‘The First Monster Musical,’ filmed in ‘Hallucinogenic Hypno-Vision’ and ‘Terrorama.’ More than half a century later, it still exists within a seminal celluloid universe all its own: Producer/director Steckler stars – under the name ‘Cash Flagg’ – as a man who falls for a carnival stripper, only to be turned into a zombie by her evil gypsy sister. Singing, dancing and homicidal mayhem ensue. Carolyn Brandt (THE THRILL KILLERS) co-stars in “the demented offering that launched one of the oddest Hollywood careers ever” (CineSavant), now scanned in 2K from the original 16mm AB rolls AND 3+ hours of bonus features for the ultimate in Incredibly Strange viewing.

STARRING: Atlas King, Betty Downing, Brett O’Hara, Carol Kaye

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheDunwichHorror – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

Riding high on their successful adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, Roger Corman and American International Pictures took on that other titan of literary terror, H.P Lovecraft, in The Dunwich Horror!

Dean Stockwell stars as Wilbur Whateley, a mysterious young man who travels from the small town of Dunwich to the library of the Miskatonic University which holds one of the only copies of the Necronomicon, a legendary book of occult lore that Wilbur hopes to borrow. Graduate student Nancy Wagner (Sandra Dee) falls under his malign influence and travels with him back to his home where Wilbur has plans to use her in a ritual to raise ‘The Old Ones’, cosmic beings from another dimension. But who, or what, is in the locked room at the top of the stairs? And what will happen if they get out?

Directed by Daniel Haller, genius art director of numerous Corman classics, this was also the first screenwriting credit for Curtis Hanson, who would later direct the multi award-winning L.A. Confidential. Restored by Arrow Films from the original 35mm camera negative, The Dunwich Horror is among the most successful Lovecraft adaptations ever committed to film, and it has never looked better.

STARRING: Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, Donna Baccala, Ed Begley

Crimson Peak (2015) (Special Edition 4K Ultra HD) Available December 3

#horror – #horrormovies – #CrimsonPeak – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realized journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance…

Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Stoker) as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, The Avengers), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), Thomas’s sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help her discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak.

Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro’s film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here in sumptuous special packaging, with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight into the making of this modern Gothic classic.

STARRING: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam

Descend into an eruption of subterranean slashing in the survival horror CREEP from Christopher Smith (Severance, Triangle) starring Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) and Vas Blackwood (Mean Machine). Delivering relentless scares and psychological suspense, CREEP is a nightmare you can’t escape. London, midnight, on a cold winters evening.

Gripped by panic she attempts to leave the station, she realises she has been locked in. Then a train pulls into the platform and she boards, somewhat unnerved, as she is the only passenger. Her relief at finally being on her journey home turns to alarm when halfway through the train jerks to a halt and her carriage is plunged into darkness. Kate is about to face the first in a series of terrifying events, ones that will shatter her nerve and chic composure – testing her endurance to the limit. She is not alone in the maze of nooks and dark crannies. Lurking in the pitch-black maze is something unimaginable. Something that calls a hidden laboratory home. And something that won’t leave Kate alone.
