Monster From Green Hell (1957) (The Film Detective Special Edition) Available March 8

ATOMIC MUTATIONS WITH AN APPETITE FOR FLESH! TOO AWESOME TO DESCRIBE! TOO TERRIFYING TO ESCAPE!

From the era of giant bugs and atomic testing comes this low budget howler about mutant wasps. When scientists try to understand the effects of radiation on earth creatures, the result brings them to an area of Africa known as “Green Hell,” where wasps have mutated into monsters! Jim Davis, who would someday star in the TV series Dallas, plays Dr. Quent Brady, the scientist who starts the whole mess. The film also stars Vladimir Sokoloff (The Life of Emile Zola, Mission to Moscow) as the skeptical Dr. Lorentz, and Joel Fluellen (Raisin in the Sun), as Arobi, who warns Brady to beware of the African location. The locals don’t call it “Green Hell” for nothing! Co-written by Louis Vittes, who gave us the classic, I Married a Monster From Outer Space.

STARRING: Jim Davis, Barbara Turner, Robert E. Griffin

Mansion Of The Doomed (1976) Available March 8

Screaming out of 1976, Charles Band’s Mansion Of The Doomed stands as one of the most lurid and unsettling exploitation films of all time, presented here for the first time uncut, restored and remastered in HD from the original 35mm negative! Richard Basehart (being there, tvs voyage to the bottom of the sea) stars as the maniacal Dr. Leonard Chaney, a brilliant surgeon who compulsively kidnaps people and rips out their eyeball, dumping their bleeding bodies into a filthy basement cage. His master plan? To use these ill-gotten orbs and transplant them into the skull of his daughter, who herself was blinded in a tragic accident years before. Taking its cues from Georges Franju’s notorious 1960 French shocker Eyes Without A Face but careening off in wild, gruesome new directions, Mansion Of The Doomed (aka The Eyes Of Dr. Chaney and House Of Blood) is producer and Full Moon founder Band’s first horror film (and is listed as #1 in the Full Moon catalog) and also features an early co-starring role from future genre icon Lance Henriksen (Aliens) as well as a memorable performance from Hollywood legend Gloria Grahame (Oklahoma!, Blood And Lace) as Chaney’s complicit nurse. Full Moon is thrilled to be bringing this masterpiece of shock back, better than it has ever looked before.

STARRING: Vic Tayback, Lance Henriksen, Marilyn Joi, Trish Stewart, Richard Basehart

The Island Of The Fishmen (1979) Available March 8

Taking its narrative cues from H.G. Wells’ classic tale of mad science and jungle madness the island of dr. Moreau and H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth, director Sergio (Torso) Martino’s delirious and bizarre Island Of The Fishmen (aka L’isola degli uomini pesce) is an Italian genre film like no other. After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant Claude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropical island along with a gaggle of similarly stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by gruesome, slimy, scaly monsters and, after many of them meet their grisly ends, the rest – including the fortunate de Ross – are rescued by the cruel Rackham who immediately whisks them away to the jungle lair of Professor Ernest Marvin. Marvin, a disgraced American biologist, has tampered with genetics to create an army of fishmen, the very same creatures that attacked de Ross. Professor Marvin controls the creatures and has been using them to plunder a submerged city of gold that he believes to be the lost city of Atlantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are slowly, surely beginning to hatch their own plans. Will de Ross – along with the professor’s comely daughter – find away to escape the island before its too late? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (Citizen Kane), Richard Johnson (The Haunting, Zombie) and comely Bond girl Barbara Bach (The Spy Who Loved Me), Island Of The Fishmen was originally released twice to American theaters in the early ’80s via Roger Corman’s New World pictures, first as Something Waits In The Dark and later, in a radically altered version under the notorious and misleading title Screamers. But Martino’s magnum opus has rarely been seen on these shores the way in which he intended. Full Moon is thrilled to be presenting Island Of The Fishmen here for the first time in North America in its completely uncut original form, gorgeously remastered in HD from the original 35mm negative.

STARRING: Claudio Cassinelli, Beryl Cunningham, Richard Johnson, Barbara Bach

Yokai Monsters Collection (3-Disc Standard Special Edition) Available February 22

From the makers of Daimajin comes a trilogy of terror ripped from the pages of Japanese folklore, with ghosts and monsters from ancient myths and legends brought to life through stunning special effects, alongside an epic, big-budget reboot of the series from a modern-day master of the macabre.

In the first film in the trilogy, 100 Monsters, a greedy slumlord’s attempts to forcefully evict his tenants invite the wrath of the titular spirits when a cleansing ritual is botched, with terrifying results. The second film, Spook Warfare, tells the tale of an evil Babylonian vampire inadvertently awoken by treasure hunters, and a brave samurai that teams with the yokai to defeat the bloodthirsty demon. In the final film, Along with Ghosts (released only 12 months after 100 Monsters), the yokai are roused to defend a little girl on the run from deadly yakuza.

Decades later, none other than Takashi Miike (Audition) helmed The Great Yokai War, a loose remake of Spook Warfare that used cutting-edge digital effects to renew the franchise for a new generation. In it, a young boy is given a grave responsibility: to band together with a group of yokai to defend humanity against a vengeful and powerful demon that has sworn retribution against modern-day Japan.

STARRING: Shinobu Araki, Jun Fujimaki, Yoshihiko Aoyama, Hideki Hanamura, Pepe Hozumi
