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.

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
