The Murder Clinic (1966) Available July 5

Another fine Italian horror thriller, obviously inspired by The Horrible Dr. Hichcock. Berger plays Dr. Vance, a strange physician who owns a clinic for the mentally ill, located in the wilds of a gloomy forest. He’s surrounded by a bevy of pretty women, all of whom he has eyes for. Unfortunately, there’s also a hooded killer on the grounds, slashing people to death with a straight razor. There’s also a grotesque, club-footed lady living on the upper floor, whom the doctor is trying to cure of a hideously ugly face. This film is great fun and really keeps you guessing who the mad killer is, right up to the very end.

STARRING: Williams Berger, Barbara Wilson, Mary Young, Françoise Prévost, Massimo Righi

The Golem Available July 5

This is a fantastic film filled with a plethora of haunting Images. It is almost too deep to describe in a simple synopsis. Let it suffice to say that the story deals with a gem-carver in old Prague who becomes entangled in a web of murder plots and other strange supernatural happenings. The Golem “creature” is not nearly as pronounced as it is in Paul Wegener’s 1920 classic, but this is none the less a powerful psychological horror film laden with mysticism, mystery, and magic. This Euro-horror gem was made around the same time as another Golem film, It with Roddy McDowell.

STARRING: Andre Reybaz, Georges Douking, Francois Vibert, Magali Noel, Francoise Winskill

Dracula and Son (1976) Available July 5

Lee, in his last screen performance as Dracula, is fantastic as he swings between serious moments of horror and outright comedy. Dracula takes a mortal woman to bear his son. After he’s born, the Count turns mom into a vampire. However, when she can’t make it back to her coffin before sunrise, the Count finds himself stuck with raising the young tyke, which isn’t easy since the young vampire balks at putting the bite on people. Eventually the son decides he wants to “make it on his own” in the real world. Meanwhile dad takes the role of a vampire in a big movie production—the producers not knowing he’s the real Dracula. There are many moments that will make you laugh. Watch for a scene involving rigor mortis and another involving an inflatable doll. Lee is superb, and the film has the same kind of brilliant comedy found in Fearless Vampire Killers. A portion of the film is in English, the rest is in French with English subtitles.

STARRING: Christopher Lee, Bernard Menez, Marie Helene Breillat, Catherine Breillat

Creature from Black Lake (1976) Available July 5

One of the best drive-in movies of the 1970s. Two college kids come to a backwater town doing research on a “bigfoot” creature that’s inhabits a gloomy nearby swamp. Before long they find themselves caught in a sequence of chilling events, culminating with a head-to-head confrontation with the creature. Taylor and Elam are excellent, but Fimple and Carson steal the show as the energetic college kids who soon realize they’ve bitten off far more than they can chew. The final 15 minutes of this film are excellent. The film has a great music score and lots of humorous banter that helps keep the film from getting too dark. A must.

STARRING: Jack Elam, Dub Taylor, Dennis Fimple, John David Carson, Bill Thurman

Challenge the Devil (1963) Available July 5

Six unruly kids break into a remote castle looking for kicks. The castle’s owner, an odd white-haired man (Lee), asks them to find a missing girl hiding in the castle. Little do they know that Lee is actually a Mephistoles-like character in disguise. At this point the six set out on a search that takes them through the nightmarish corridors and staircases of the castle. They encounter massive spiders, ghosts, and a bizarre room containing a labyrinth of sheet glass and mirrors. These horrors soon lead them to near-madness before they finally can escape. Watch for the scene when two female ghosts appear behind cobweb-shrouded doorways. The orgiastic dance scene is also great fun. This may be Lee’s most unusual portrayal in a horror film. Ardisson chews up the scenery with a wild performance. Filmed in Odescalchi Castle near Rome in 1963.

STARRING: Christopher Lee, George Ardisson, Bella Cortez, Lilli Parker

The woman spends the night, but next morning she finds no trace of her hosts. Finding her car repaired, she leaves; but she soon realizes it’s impossible for her to exit the grounds. She is lost in some kind of fantastic paradox that defies reality. This is a beautiful yet subtly terrifying film with many haunting scenes. Kristel is stunningly beautiful.

Jack Weis Double Feature – Crypt Of Dark Secrets / Death Brings Roses Available June 28

TWO JACK WEIS 42nd STREET GRINDHOUSE CLASSICS ON BLU-RAY FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Perhaps the most bizarre film by New Orleans writer/producer/director Jack Weis (Mardi Gras Massacre), Crypt Of Dark Secrets is “71 minutes of supernatural sleaze” (Every ’70s Movie) featuring voodoo vengeance, a possessed swamp stripper, and multiple feats of knuckleheaded folk horror, newly mastered from the original negative. Thought lost for more than 30 years, Death Brings Roses is the Big Easy auteur’s epic of pimps, hookers, mob bosses, double-crosses, a stupefying parade of performances by non-professional locals, and Henny Youngman. Real-life Hollywood tough guy Scott Brady (Johnny Guitar), Oscar® winner Broderick Crawford (All The King’s Men) and Hermione Gingold (Gigi) co-star in this French Quarter crime saga that “walks a fine line between utter hilarity and bubbling sleaze” (Bleeding Skull), now scanned in 2K from Weis’ personal 35mm print.

THE OUT-OF-PRINT SOV CLASSIC IS BACK WITH 9+ HOURS OF NEW SPECIAL FEATURES

Long before they became big-time Hollywood players with Dorm Daze, Golan The Insatiable and the Sonic The Hedgehog movies, 20-year-old producer/co-writer/director Josh Miller and producer/co-writer/star Pat Casey spent the summer of 2000 with $500, a MiniDV cam and a group of friends in Bloomington, MN creating what remains the most insanely accomplished – and long-out-of-print – comedy/horror hit of the SOV era. It’s a deranged suburban saga of hole diggers, serial killers, nympho girlfriends, clothes-stealing monsters and lawn mower murders that Film Threat calls “goofy and funny with charm to spare, filled with ideas both creative and bizarre.” Intervision is proud to present this justifiable cult favorite now lovingly remastered in HD with all-new reunion featurettes, audio commentaries, short films and much more.

Tenebrae (1982) (3-Disc Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD) Available July 26

…TERROR BEYOND BELIEF!

Italian horror master Dario Argento (Suspiria, Deep Red) elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s Tenebrae, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works.

As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless!
