Horror in your House
June 5, 2007
By: Tex Massacre
The Absence of Light: York Home Video
When a well-meaning scientist discovers how to create life that will benefit humanity, two competing organizations bent on world dominance attempt to steal the secret and create instead a race of inhuman super soldiers that will make slaves of the world!
Caroline Munro, Tom Savini, Michael Berryman, Tom Sullivan, David Hess and Tony Todd star in, what must be, and horror convention fan’s wet dream film.
Alone in the Dark, Afraid of the Dark, Relentless 3 & 4 — Quadruple Feature: Image
Brace yourself for four times the terror! During a power failure, murderous psychopaths break out of a mental institution and lay siege to their doctor's house in ALONE IN THE DARK, one of the most terrifying and memorable cult films of the 1980s. The chilling AFRAID OF THE DARK follows a psychic boy troubled by a razor-toting slasher who preys on defenseless blind women. Detective Sam Dietz pursues a savagely cunning serial killer who carves up young women and taunts police by mailing them pieces of his handiwork in RELENTLESS 3. Then Dietz returns in RELENTLESS 4, hot on the trail of a bloodthirsty murderer with a passion for ritualistic executions.
Here’s you change to pick up four films that aren’t really worth the price of one, for the price of one!!!
Big Bad Wolf: Screen Media/Universal
A wild college party in a remote cabin will go horribly wrong when Derek Cowley and his friends find themselves terrorized by a bloodthirsty werewolf. While fighting for his life, Derek will discover a shocking and horrifying secret about the monster he must kill to survive.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Image (TEX’S PICK OF THE WEEK)
Follow a new twist in the warped road of delirium in this "remix" of silent film era classic! Writer and director David Lee Fisher scanned the original backgrounds of the 1919 classic and put speaking actors into the mix.
What sounds like a bad idea from the start, actually presents itself and an impressive post-millennial take on German Expressionism. If you’ve never seen the original film, shame on you, but Fischer’s new take is brilliant starting point for film fans looking to broaden their genre horizons.
Chicago Massacre – Richard Speck: Lionsgate
On July 14, 1966, Richard Speck took 9 student-nurses hostage. He held the girls, methodically beating, raping and stabbing them to death in one of the bloodiest mass murders in American history.
Michael Feifer follows-up his Ed Gein biopic with a new look at the horrors of Richard Speck. Featuring an appearance by everyone’s favorite scream queen Debbie Rochon, the film stars Corin Nemic, Andrew Divoff and Tony Todd. I wonder why this wasn’t assigned to Ulli Lommel? Could it be that Lionsgate is branching out?
Day of the Ax: Brain Damage Films
On May 8th, 1984, 12-year-old J.R. Sorg murdered his mother with an ax. For eight years, the boy remained at the Saint Catherian Mental State Hospital. In 1992, he escaped, brutally murdering many innocent people in the process. The manhunt for J.R. was called off after six months due to lack of evidence; the media had a field day and titled it "Day of the Ax." But this so called Day of the Ax was only the beginning.
The Dead Zone: The Complete Fifth Season: Lionsgate
Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, THE DEAD ZONE is a unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice.
Edgar Allan Poe’s Darkness: Brain Damage Films
A theater group's obsession of Edgar Allan Poe turns fatal while performing his works. Mysterious voices, strange smells and moving objects force Rex and Lyman to make a horrific decision. Obsession with bloodletting and having sex with the same girl drives the awkward pair to the unthinkable.
Fox Special Packaging Reissues: ALIEN, ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, THE OMEN, PREDATOR
Do you really need to by new editions of these four films just cause the box art changed? Seriously, doesn’t Fox have some catalog shit that needs to be issued instead!

And yes, it s also a human love story, even though the budding romantics are infested with slimy, tumor-like globules.

I have to disagree with the comment about "Afraid Of The Dark". I found that movie bizarre and delightfully creepy. I'm glad to see it's on DVD now. I've been searching for it for a while. |
Some pretty cool looking stuff. Can't wait to see Terror Toons 2 and The Messengers. |
