TERROR HAS REACHED NEW DEPTHS…

There’s a hairy humanoid beast lurking in the Louisiana swamps, but only trapper Joe Canton (Jack Elam, Once Upon A Time In The West) has seen it and lived to tell the tale, and the other residents of Oil City, Louisiana don’t talk about it. But that’s not about to stop intrepid grad students Pahoo (Dennis Fimple, House Of 1000 Corpses) and Rives (John David Carson, Empire Of The Ants), who are determined to track down the Bigfoot-like creature. Defying local sheriff Billy Carter (Bill Thurman, The Last Picture Show), the duo trek deep into the wilds of Black Lake, and a series of frightening encounters make it clear the monster is no mere legend. Following in the (big) footsteps of The Legend Of Boggy Creek and similar docudramas, 1976’s Creature From Black Lake is a fictional Sasquatch saga, albeit one inspired by real reports. With a colorful cast, also including Dub Taylor (The Wild Bunch), and plenty of rural atmosphere courtesy of cinematographer Dean Cundey (Halloween, Jurassic Park), scripter Jim McCullough Jr.–who also co-stars–and director Joy Houck Jr. bring touches of humor and humanity that complement the mystery of the monster, and the terror of its attacks. A longtime late-night TV favorite, Creature From Black Lake now roars onto DVD with a boatload of special features!

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

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.
