Five chilling horror movies starring Vincent Price, the elegant majordomo of vintage horror movies, bundled in this four-DVD set. In Master of the World, Price plays a 19th century mad scientist intent on creating world peace by bombing major cities from his custom-built airship. In Tower of London, Price is a hunchbacked blueblood with murderous ambitions in the royal court of King Edward IV. In Diary of a Madman, a French magistrate kills an assailant in self-defense, only to be possessed by the demon that plagued his attacker. In An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe, Price performs dramatic readings of four of Poe's classic horror stories, including "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Sphinx", "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Pit and the Pendulum". And in Cry of the Banshee, the last survivor of a coven of witches gets supernatural revenge on the lord (Price) who murdered her sisterhood. Includes a plethora of bonus features for each High Definition transfer from fine-grain or inter-positive prints, including remastered stereo soundtracks, audio commentaries, trailers, posters, lobby cards and other photo memorabilia, interviews with co-stars, directors and producers, bonus featurettes, early television appearances by Price, and more.
This collection brings together five of iconic and artistic movies starring the incredible Vincent Price. Featured here is House on Haunted Hill, Last Man on Earth, Shock, The Bat and The Jackals.
Hammer Films brings their unique brand of gothic horror to the small screen in this television series that kept British viewers sleeping with one eye open. All 13 episodes of Hammer House of Horror are included in this five disc collection featuring an abundance if bonus materials.
A lot of great Hammer movies... but these were all made in the 80s. When I bought this on line I thought it would have at least some of the great Hammer flix from the 60s.
This horror double feature contains The Terror starring Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff and Dracula: The Satanic Rites starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.
For years, American horror aficionados have been anxiously waiting for this film to be resurrected in its proper full-length form. Although this stylish gothic fright film has long been available on video under its American release title of Horror Hotel, this release from VCI Entertainment marks the first time it has been available in its longer (by two minutes) British cut on DVD. Of course, the question to ask is: Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. VCI has put together a splendid package that should more than satiate the film's small -- -- though devoted -- following. City of the Dead is available in its proper 1.66:1 letterboxed format (enhanced for 16 x 9 televisions) and in its original English language mono soundtrack. The transfer is excellent and nicely shows off the film's occasionally beautiful black-and-white cinematography. One of the many reasons this low-budget classic has survived through the years is the fact that so much care and artistry was devoted to it. The disc also includes a rather amusing commentary track from legendary actor Christopher Lee (who admits not having seen the film since he first made it), as well as another track from director John Moxey. Moxey's track is by far the more entertaining and informative in relation to the film, since Lee tends to lose interest after awhile, but both tracks do have their strong points. Also included on the disc are three lengthy interview segments with Lee, Moxey, and actress Venetia Stevenson, who has a small but pivotal role in the film. All three interviews are excellent and definitely make the disc worth the purchase. Two theatrical trailers, a photo gallery, and cast and crew bios are also included. VCI also includes two different cover options: a moody photo montage or a garish painting which captures the flavor of the film in all the right exploitation ways. All in all, the disc is a great buy and should easily replace previous video releases.
Great movie. I highly recommend it. But the extras make buying this so worth it.You actually hear and see interviews with the Holocaust survivors.I highly recommend this
