Members of the true-crime podcast, Killin’ Time, set out for a weekend in the Adirondacks to investigate the scene of the infamous Darien Cross cult killings from a decade ago. It was rumored that there was one survivor, who killed Darien, but his body disappeared, leaving no trace and was never recovered. The group has also brought along Ariella, the sister of the sole-survivor of the killings, for the adventure and fun. While the podcasters are there looking for good material for their podcast, Ariella is there to look for answers. However, the group is not alone in the woods; Mistress Morgan and her two evil bunnies have an agenda of their own and it is pure evil. As members of a coven, the women seek to resurrect Darien Cross so that he can continue his path of terror and destruction. Will Ariella find the answers she’s been looking for and have closure on the past? Will the coven resurrect a psychotic killer? Will the podcasters have content for their podcast? One thing is for sure; it’s Killin’ Time!

The loss of a young girl… Her family…devastated. A remote house in the quiet English countryside of Essex… …each member of the family is affected and deals with such pain and loss differently. What such terrible tragedy can cause to an ordinary middle-class family is unbelievable. A hand camera, a woman, high heels, hair scalps and a child. An unspeakable, sickening and perverse cinematographic voyage of BLOOD and MADNESS… …like never seen before !!! Partially filmed with the use of ‘meta-cinema’ and ‘guerrilla filmmaking style’ to recreate a whole new shocking level of ultra-realism, where horror, underground and dark erotica blend together in a unique way… …where the author / director creates a ‘mirror effect’ story… …with no room for sanity. This is…DARIUSS !!!

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.

The Dunwich Horror (1970) Standard Available December 3

#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
