New & Restocked! A Great Selection of Cool DVDs For You
Here are some both new titles to Creepy Classics and some classics that are now re-stocked:
THE LOST WORLD (1925/Restored/Film Detective) - DVD
The silent Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story of Professor Challenger heading an expedition into darkest Africa to bag dinosaurs. Great dinosaur effects (INCREDIBLE for the time) by Willis O'Brien, who did the stop motion for KING KONG. 106 minutes.
BLOODY PIT OF HORROR (1965 Special Edition) - DVD
Stars Mickey Hargitay, Walter Brandt and Luisa Baratto. A strange old castle becomes the backdrop for a photo spread by models. They're to pose for a horror book cover. One-by-one the entourage disappears and they're subjected to ancient torture devices by a madman called The Crimson Executioner! The executioner is the owner of the castle who's read too much about the original Crimson Executioner....who was a mad torturer a century before. Wild opening credits feature an animated bloody pen writing some of the names. A night in the castle is always the wrong idea. Extras include alternate opening, commentary, trailer!
MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932) - DVD
The role Lugosi took instead of the monster in FRANKENSTEIN. Excellent direction from Robert Florey....creepy, adventuresome and fun. Inventive camera angles from director Florey.
THE BAMBOO SAUCER (1968) - DVD
Stars Dan Duryea, John Ericson, Lois Nettleton and Bob Hastings. Groups from different counties both locks horns when they are investigating a UFO in a remote jungle. The UFO is an elaborate flying saucer that gets re-activated for a wild ride. Exceptional effects by John Fulton.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (1945) - DVD
Stars Hurd Hatfield, George Sanders, Donna Reed, Angela Lansbury and Peter Lawford. The wonderfully acted 1945 classic. Hatfield wishes to always stay young and a demon deal makes it happen. A painting that he has done of himself grows old, while others wonder at how youthful he looks over the passing years. The town begins to talk as his peers become senior citizens and he's still youthful. His soul and human compassion is somehow lost in the deal. Thoughtful cinema magic.
Claude Rains as Professor Challenger leading an expedition to the lost world of dinosaurs and giant lizards! Includes extras: featurette, Fox Movietone News, trailer, comic book gallery, still gallery. Region 0, plays in USA players.
ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL, THE (1941/Kino) - DVD
The great serial with Tom Tyler as Captain Marvel facing odds with the nefarious Scorpion. Masked madmen, dusty tombs and non-stop action. 12 chapters. The greatest serial of all-time! Commentary by Tom Weaver and Leonard Maltin.
