Crash! (1976) (Remastered) Available December 14

Before Christine, another killer car screamed down the highways looking for blood in director Charles Band’s deranged 1977 auto carnage creeper Crash! Lolita legend Sue Lyon stars as Kim, an unfortunate lass who is perpetually abused by her miserable, much older professor husband Marc (Jose Ferrer, Dracula’s Dog) who, after being left an invalid by an accident he thinks his wife caused, plots to murder his missus with the aid of a monstrous Doberman Pinscher(!). But after Kim buys him a mystical African trinket from a street vendor (played by Salem’s Lot and The Man Who Knew Too Much actor Reggie Nalder), Marc’s plans are foiled and soon the vengeful spirit of his dead wife has possessed her convertible, flipping it into a fearsome four-on-the-floor fiend! Over-the-top action, bizarre plot twists, endless car chases and enough car crashes to fill five films combined in this vintage Band-sploitation saga (shot by future The Fugitive director Andrew Davis!), presented here fully remastered and uncut and louder and meaner than ever before! Buckle up for the weirdest ride of your life!

Blood-A-Rama Triple Frightmare Available December 28

A horror triple feature from the vaults of the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA)!

Help Me . . . I’m Possessed: A free-form nightmare that takes place at a sanitarium in the desert, this surrealist gem includes a psychopathic hunchback, delirious monsters, and a killer early synthesizer score.

Night Of The Strangler: A southern-fried whodunnit with murder, racial tension, and a starring role from The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz, this sweat-soaked sleazer feels like a cross between an American giallo and a trashy airport paperback novel.

Carnival Of Blood: An ominous, semi-cinéma vérité horror movie that was shot at Coney Island in NYC, Carnival Of Blood features an early role from Burt Young (Rocky), pop-art gore that would make H.G. Lewis proud, and a gloriously seedy atmosphere.

NOTICE! These preservations were made from the only known film elements in existence. Please approach the technical quality of the source materials with empathy.

STARRING: Micky Dolenz, Burt Young
