From there, we encounter 777—an experimental serial killer artifact that was conjured on video tape by teenagers in Tucson, Arizona and has never been released on any format. Finally, we visit BLACK MAMBA—a crazed psychedelic anthology from undiscovered auteur Belinda M. Wilson. Plus, the blood keeps flowing with THE PSYCHOTIC ODYSSEY OF RICHARD CHASE, A.I.

A Hyena In The Safe (1968) Available November 25

#horror – #horrormovies – #AHyenaInTheSafe – #CelluloidDreams –

One safe. Six keys. Six robbers, each expecting their cut of a diamond heist when they finally meet to divide their spoils after months in hiding. But before they can open the safe that guards their glittering hoard, they are mysteriously killed, one by one.

With fear and suspicion growing among the shrinking group of survivors, it becomes clear that one of them is trying to take all the diamonds for themselves!

Directed and co-written by Cesare Canevari (MATALO!), “A Hyena in the Safe” is a remarkable caper/giallo crossover filled with dark humor and moments of psychedelic glory. The fallout from this heist will make your head spin with its inventive, over-the-top deaths and a free-spirited attitude that only the flamboyant 60s could produce.

Celluloid Dreams is proud to present this beautifully restored version, bringing the film to high definition for the first time.

Severin Black Friday 2025: Retribution (1987) Trailer

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #Retribution – @SeverinFilms –

In 2021, Severin Films was proud to resurrect the “gory, bizarre and intense” (McBastard’s Mausoleum) forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu ray. But in 2025, our search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost Unrated Version just days prior to its destruction. ‘80s splatter fans rejoice: Magar’s neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage has never looked or sounded more harrowing. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this “relentless squishy joy that makes us angry we’ve lived this long without having seen it” (Bleeding Skull), now on 2 discs with both the Unrated and Theatrical Versions scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and over 3 hours of Special Features.

A gripping supernatural thriller that blurs the line between reality and the afterlife, where one woman’s obsession with ghosts leads her into a world of terror.

After a heart-stopping encounter with an unearthly apparition, a young woman becomes fixated on the spirits that linger in the shadows. Drawn into a chilling journey to confront the very essence of fear, she steps into a world where the boundary between the living and the dead fades into oblivion.

Written by Noct Koike and brought to life by the haunting artwork of Chika Ishikawa (KOBAN), Ghostly Darkness of Kanata takes you on a nerve-wracking adventure into the unknown. Every page pulses with the tension of everyday moments—suddenly infected with the uncanny, as spirits and phantoms intrude on a world that seems so familiar.

As the heroine delves deeper into the occult, her quest to understand the afterlife soon reveals that terror doesn’t always come from the unknown—it hides in the places we think we know best. The ghosts she seeks might just be the ones chasing her.

In this supernatural thriller, prepare to face your deepest fears, as the lines between life and death, safety and danger, vanish into the darkness. Will she survive the haunting force she’s invited into her life? Or will she become one with the ghosts of Kanata?

Read all three graphic novels based on New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill’s short story “The Cape,” collecting The Cape, The Cape: 1969, and The Cape: Fallen.

Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away…but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. The Cape explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric—a confused and broken man—takes to the skies…and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him.

The Cape: 1969 goes back in time to the Vietnam War when Eric’s father, Captain Chase, a medevac helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong…but they soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren’t the only terrors hiding in the jungle.

In The Cape: Fallen, uncover new folds in Hill’s cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series.

This critically acclaimed, Eisner Award–nominated story—written by Jason Ciaramella based on the short story by New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill, with art by Zach Howard and Nelson Dániel—smashes the classic superhero myth and wraps the bloody wreckage in a bright blue shroud: The Cape.

Writer Michael W. Conrad (Neptune, Nightwing) and acclaimed artist Noah Bailey (Diabolical, Station Grand) have reunited. The creative team behind Comixology Originals/Dark Horse Comics hit graphic novels, Tremor Dose and Double Walker, bring their strange and horrific sensibilities to their new graphic novel; The 99 Legs. When a down on his luck crime writer discovers a string of murders in his area that seem to align with his newest unpublished manuscript, he is terrified. Fearing that it will implicate him in the crimes, the writer contacts his agent to put a stop to the delivery of the manuscript to publishers. What follows is a blood spattered, spiraling nightmare, as the mystery of the killer’s identity unfolds. The 99 Legs finds its roots in the duo’s shared appreciation of Italian Giallo film genre, complete with its leather clad killers, twisting suspense, and a perfect marriage of the avant garde and low art sensibilities. A must read for fans of the macabre and uncanny tales that Conrad and Bailey have become known for, The 99 Legs promises to be their most disturbing collaboration to date.
