CASTLE OF THE CREEPING FLESH
From writer/director Adrian Hoven – creator of the infamous MARK OF THE DEVIL – comes a rarely-seen EuroSleaze masterpiece packed with krimi depravity, mondo-style shocks and graphic gothic insanity: When a group of bourgeois swingers stumble upon the creepy castle of the cursed Earl of Saxon, they’ll discover an unholy nightmare of sexual violence, bombastic philosophy, deranged performances, grisly medical experiments, inappropriate music cues and one very pissed off bear. A stellar cast of Jess Franco regulars including Janine Raynaud (SUCCUBUS), Howard Vernon (SHE KILLED IN ECSTASY) and Michel Lemoine (KISS ME MONSTER) star in this sumptuous platter of late ‘60s filthwürst – also known as CASTLE OF BLOODY LUST – now scanned uncut & uncensored from the German negative for the first time ever in America.
TALES OF THE UNCANNY:
THE ULTIMATE SURVEY OF ANTHOLOGY HORROR (2020)
When Covid-19 hit, Severin Films chief David Gregory and House Of Psychotic Women author Kier-La Janisse decided to ask their industry friends which Top 5 films and segments that would make the ultimate horror anthology. The result became an international Zoom-enabled documentary featuring Eli Roth, Joe Dante, Greg Nicotero, Mark Hartley, Mick Garris, Ernest Dickerson, Joko Anwar, Ramsey Campbell, David DeCoteau, Kim Newman, Jovanka Vuckovic, Luigi Cozzi, Tom Savini, Jenn Wexler, Larry Fessenden, Richard Stanley, Brian Trenchard-Smith, Brian Yuzna, Gary Sherman, Rebekah McKendry and Roger Corman in a candid discussion of the best portmanteaus in film/TV history. As a Bonus, Severin is proud to include the rarely-seen 1919 German compendium EERIE TALES, the thought-lost 1949 French/Belgian anthology HISTORIES EXTRAORDINAIRE/UNUSUAL TALES, and a limited second disc with Black Friday Exclusive Bonus Horror Anthology: MASTER OF HORROR (1965) Scanned in 2k from Jack H. Harris’ dupe negative.
NO WAY HOME
Twelve years after his shattering debut COMBAT SHOCK, writer/director Buddy Giovinazzo again rocked audiences with this explosive – and long-unseen – drama featuring “an authentic whiff of the sunny, slummy streets of Staten Island” (Time Out) and “a formidable trio of great performances” (The Guardian): Academy Award nominee Tim Roth (PULP FICTION) “delivers an astonishing performance” (Premiere) as a mentally impaired man released from six years in prison to live with his small-time drug dealer brother (James Russo of DONNIE BRASCO), his stripper sister-in-law (Deborah Kara Unger of Cronenberg’s CRASH) and the dark family secrets that threaten to destroy them all. Joseph Ragno (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) co-stars in this “impressive and startling” (The Independent) indie thriller now scanned in 2k from the original negative for the first time ever.
THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE Audio Book
“West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut.” So begins this legendary sci-fi/horror tale by H.P. Lovecraft about a meteorite that crashes in the fictional New England town of Arkham and proceeds to deform all vegetation on “the blasted heath” while driving its inhabitants slowly and homicidally insane. Read by award-winning filmmaker Richard Stanley – whose 2019 movie adaptation starring Nicolas Cage was called “a trippy rainbow of the gory and grotesque” (Daily Mirror) – The Colour Out Of Space remains one of the most startling and significant works in modern horror history.
