Alraune + The Student Of Prague : German Silent Genre Rarities From Director Henrik Galeen Available December 16

#horror – #horrormovies – #Alraune – #TheStudentOfPrague – #DeafCrocodile –

Two ultra-rare German silent horror films from director/writer Henrik Galeen (who wrote NOSFERATU), ALRAUNE and THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE

ALRAUNE (A WOMAN OF DESTINY), 1927, Filmmuseum München,131 min. Dir. Henrik Galeen. Deranged Weimar Era erotic sci-fi / horror starring Brigitte Helm (Maria / Futura in Fritz Lang’s METROPOLIS) as the unholy offspring of a genetics experiment conducted by her scientist “father” Paul Wegener (The Golem in both the 1915 and 1920 versions), who implants the semen of a hanged man in the womb of a prostitute. (“Alraune” literally translates as “Mandrake” – an old legend states that human-like mandrake roots grow under the gallows where the sperm of a hanged man touches mother earth.) As an adult, the lithe, sinuous Helm with her weirdly magnetic gaze and Modigliani-like features drives men to suicide and madness – including her own pseudo-father Wegener who succumbs to incestuous obsession with her. Beautifully shot by cinematographer Franz Planer (who later photographed LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN and CRISS CROSS) with gorgeous restored color tinting, ALRAUNE is a cascade of decadent imagery: hanged bodies in cemeteries, NIGHTMARE ALLEY-like circuses, opulent casinos and more. A remarkable and long-unseen German silent sci-fi / horror gem from Galeen, fueled by stellar performances by Helm and Wegener. Score by Sabrina Zimmermann and Mark Pogolski.

DER STUDENT VON PRAG (THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE), 1926, Filmmuseum München, 133 min. Dir. Henrik Galeen. Conrad Veidt (THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, CASABLANCA) stars as a hellraising student who sells his soul to the Devil in the form of a wizened old man named Scapinelli (Werner Krauss). But Veidt hasn’t bargained on meeting his own evil doppelgänger who literally steps out of a mirror, Cocteau-like, and starts to take over his life. A remake of the 1913 version starring Paul Wegener (also excellent), Galeen’s eerily compelling FAUST-like fantasy / horror is driven by the always-great Veidt’s impressive dual performance as the student and his strange, unsettling twin. Score by Stephen Horne.

STARRING: Brigitte Helm, Conrad Veidt, Paul Wegener, Werner Krauss

Dan Curtis’ Gothic Tales Available December 9

Shot on videotape and originally aired on ABC’s late-night series Wide World Mystery, these two features exquisitely demonstrate Dan Curtis’ gift for blending 19th-century literature with psychological horror. In The Picture of Dorian Gray, a petulant young Adonis (Shane Briant) indulges in the most decadent pursuits that 19th-century society can provide. While Dorian seems impervious to age and free of guilt for his transgressions, his moral disintegration is foretold in the portrait hidden in his study. In a haunting and sexually-charged adaption of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, Lynn Redgrave stars as Miss Cubberly, a governess hired to tend two orphans (Jasper Jacob, Eva Griffith) in a country manor. She believes the estate is haunted by the spirits of a former governess and her lover, and her pursuit of the truth leads Miss Cubberly to the brink of insanity.

Sometimes They Come Back (1991) Available December 2

#horror – #horrormovies – #SometimesTheyComeBack – #SandpiperPictures –

From the mind of Stephen King (The Shining, It, Carrie, Misery) comes a chilling tale where the past doesn’t just haunt you-it hunts you. Sometimes They Come Back (1991) is a slow-burning supernatural thriller that blends psychological horror with ghostly revenge and the shadowy secrets of hometown streets. Tim Matheson (Animal House, The West Wing, Fletch) stars as Jim Norman, a tormented schoolteacher forced to confront the demons-both literal and figurative-of his childhood after a series of brutal murders resurface in his hometown. Directed by Tom McLoughlin (Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, One Dark Night, Date with an Angel), the film carries King’s trademark mix of dread, nostalgia, and small-town unease. Brooke Adams (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Days of Heaven, The Dead Zone) lends dramatic weight as Jim’s supportive wife, while Robert Rusler (Weird Science, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Shag) and Nicholas Sadler (Scent of a Woman, Twister, Disclosure) menace as the greaser gang returned from the grave. William Sanderson (Blade Runner, Deadwood, True Blood) and Bentley Mitchum (The Man in the Moon, Ruby in Paradise, Susie Q) round out a cast that balances chilling performances with genuine heart. Moody, atmospheric, and steeped in King’s unsettling nostalgia, Sometimes They Come Back remains one of the most memorable made-for-TV horror films of the ’90s. With eerie scares, a creeping sense of dread, and a stark reminder that when the dead return… they rarely come in peace, it stands as a must-watch for Stephen King fans and horror collectors alike. RUNTIME: 98 minutes

The House With Laughing Windows (Limited Edition) (1976) Available December 2

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheHouseWithLaughingWindows – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

While typically famed for its lurid Technicolor hues and grand guignol murders, the Italian giallo thriller had a less bombastic side as well. Erring less towards exploitation than to art, these lesser-seen gems offer some of the greatest rewards for adventurous viewers. Among them, 1976’s The House with Laughing Windows, directed and co-written by Pupi Avati (Zeder), rises up as the cream of the crop.

Art restorer Stefano (Lino Capolicchio, The Bloodstained Shadow) arrives at an isolated Italian village to repair a fresco depicting the agonizing martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The original painter was a death artist – a madman so obsessed with mortality that, according to whispered rumors, he tortured his models in their final moments of life. When people begin to turn up dead, Stefano is forced to consider the possibility that the artist has returned to continue his brutal career – and that he is the primary target.

Often counted among the greatest gialli ever made, The House with Laughing Windows offers a uniquely eerie twist on the genre, culminating in an unforgettable ending that will remain with you long after the credits have rolled. Arrow Video is proud to present this landmark title in its North American High Definition debut.
