Incubus (1966) (Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD) Available January 14

#horror – #horrormovies – #Incubus – #ArrowVideo –

It is often said that films about the Devil are cursed with bad luck, but Leslie Stevens’ Incubus might be the most cursed of them all. By the time it premiered in 1966, two of its stars had tragically taken their own lives; the eccentric director’s insistence on filming in the obscure Esperanto language ensured it failed to receive any distribution; and it was nearly lost forever when the original elements were believed lost in a fire. Decades passed until it was finally saved and unveiled to the public in all its unholy glory! Wounded in battle, soldier Marc (William Shatner, just prior to being cast in Star Trek) ventures to the remote village of Nomen Tuum to find a well where the waters are said to be blessed with healing powers. Little does he suspect that the inhabitants of Nomen Tuum are demonic seductresses who entice interlopers and lead them to damnation, and one such succubus, Kia (Allyson Ames) has her sights on Marc. As an eclipse shrouds the sun and darkness falls over the village, Marc and Kia’s relationship becomes more passionate… will his soul survive? Now restored in 4K from the last known surviving 35mm print, this eerie and unforgettable American folk horror from the creator of The Outer Limits survives to chill a new generation as never seen before. Stylishly filmed in Big Sur and other California locations by cinematographer (and future Academy Award winner) Conrad L. Hall, Incubus is a film unlike any other, now accompanied by hours of bonus features delving into the mysteries of this once-thought-lost cult classic.

By: Tatsuya Morino (Adapter), Daiun Miki (Author)

When your house is haunted by demons, who do you call?

The beautiful city of Kyoto has an ancient history but beneath its placid exterior lies a dark and secretive world of supernatural phenomena. When people are terrorized by spirits, demons, ghosts and monsters they seek out Daiun Miki, a real-life priest at Renkyuji Temple. Known throughout Japan as the “Ghost Story Priest,” Miki retells the stories of the desperate people he counsels and protects from these otherworldly creatures.

The eleven horrifying true stories in this book include:

Broken Mirrors — A couple believe the mirrors in their home are cursed when they begin to show far more than their reflections

The Monster of Funaoka Mountain — A group of boys spend the night in a “haunted” park only to discover that legends are often more than mere myths

Kokeshi Doll Mother — An orphan girl develops a powerful bond with her precious doll but when her friend comes between them the consequences turn deadly

The Smell of Impending Death — Daiun explains his ability to smell the stench of death on people who are about to die, and how this is more of a curse than a blessing

And seven other chilling tales!

Meticulously adapted by manga artist Tatsuya Morino, Tales of a Kyoto Ghost Story Priest is a fascinating look at the ghostly world of Kyoto from the perspective of a real Buddhist priest.

By: Michael Fleisher (Author), Roy Thomas (Author), Bruce Jones (Author), John Buscema (Illustrator), Ernie Colon (Illustrator)

Conan at his finest! Savage, brutal and always… EPIC!

Freed from the strict Comic Code Authority stamp of approval, the Savage Sword of Conan magazine was always more hard-hitting and savage than its sister title Conan the Barbarian, and featured more action, violence and raunch and Omnibus Volume 5 of the original comic series is no exception.

This volume sees Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones joining stalwart regular Roy Thomas on the writing duties, and artist Ernie Chan joining legends Ernie Colan and Gil Kane on art duties. Omnibus Volume 5 carries on the legacy in fine form!

New writers Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones join Conan legend John Buscema to drive the barbarian’s black-and-white adventures in savage new directions! To topple a decadent royal, Conan must brave a moat of blood filled with gruesome monsters. The barbarian survives a ship capsizing in storm-tossed seas, only to awaken on the shores of an island filled with beautiful but deadly tiger-riding women warriors! Then, sadistic King Razak lures Conan into a death-filled maze. Writer Roy Thomas returns for a locked-door mystery set at sea, with Conan playing the sleuth. Plus, comic art master Alex Toth delivers a stunning Conan art portfolio. This volume also brings back fan-favorite characters like Jenna and Murilo to the supporting cast.

This volume sees classic stories such as “Plunder of Death Island”, “Dwellers in the Depths”, ‘The Sea of No Return” and “Lurker in the Labyrinth” giving full reign to the savagery of Conan. Featuring the usual assortment of superb pin up art by some true greats of the comic book form. This book also features a section of rarely seen bonus material!

By: James Tynion IV (Author), Eryk Donovan (Illustrator)

The deluxe edition collection of the original apocalyptic horror trilogy by James Tynion IV–Memetic, Cognetic, and Eugenic– all precursors for his later hit series like A Nice House On The Lake and w0rldtr33!

In Memetic, the apocalypse comes about via a single image on the internet – a meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world’s population returns to humanity in modern-day New York City, but saving humanity will come at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, when a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind, and then people who took the cure begin having children who are… unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. This deluxe collection not only contains the trilogy of self-contained horror comics from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Department of Truth) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), but acts as a precursor to other hit series from the mind of Tynion like Something is Killing the Children, w0rldtr33, and The Nice House At The Lake. Collects Memetic #1-3, Cognetic #1-3, Eugenic #1-3.

Rampo Noir (2005) (Limited Edition) Available January 7

#horror – #horrormovies – #RampoNoir – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

Four filmmakers from completely different backgrounds bring their radically personal takes to the stories of Japan’s celebrated master of the macabre, Edogawa Rampo (Horrors of Malformed Men, Blind Beast). In Mars’s Canal, by music video director and visual artist Suguru Takeuchi, a lone man encounters the other side of his psyche beyond the reflective surface of a circular pond set in a desolate landscape. Japanese New Wave auteur and longtime director of the Ultraman series Akio Jissoji (This Transient Life, Mandala) harnesses his distinctive stylistic sheen in his story of a mad mirror maker, Mirror Hell. Caterpillar sees the singular vision of cult director Hisayasu Sato (The Bedroom, Naked Blood) at its most grotesque, in his portrait of a wounded war veteran who returns from the frontline as little more than a bloody torso, helpless to defend himself against the increasingly perverted caprices of an embittered wife. Finally, a famous actor is subjected to the obsessive attentions of her limo driver in Crawling Bugs, the directorial debut of internationally acclaimed manga artist Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi and Her Pink Gun). Produced by the same team behind Ichi the Killer and Uzumaki, and with a cast featuring some of Japan’s top stars, including Tadanobu Asano (Maboroshi, Silence) and Ryuhei Matsuda (Blue Spring, Gohatto), Rampo Noir is a stylistic tour-de-force that vividly evokes the erotic grotesque worlds created by Japan’s pioneering proponent of horror and mystery fiction.
