Romanian actor Bela Lugosi virtually defined horror with his legendary roles in early cinema classics. This thrilling collection features a trio of the master's definitive non-Dracula screen roles. In WHITE ZOMBIE (1932), a Haitian voodoo master transforms a blushing bride-to-be into a pallid, soulless body at the behest of a jealous rival who desires her. In THE CORPSE VANISHES (1942), an evil scientist invents a poisoned flower corsage to use on unsuspecting young women to put them in zombie-like state, steal their blood, and inject it into his aging wife to keep her young forever. And in the quirky horror-comedy ONE BODY TOO MANY (1944), an insurance salesman becomes embroiled in the shenanigans surrounding a dead millionaire whose heirs must spend a night in a haunted mansion.

Director Stuart Gordon delivers another chilling tale with CASTLE FREAK. A dysfunctional American family learns that they have inherited a 12th-century Italian castle and travels to visit it. As soon as they arrive, strange things start happening--bizarre noises come from deep within the castle, and objects turn up mysterously broken. The family's blind daughter begins telling stories of someone visiting her room at night. When two bodies are found in the dungeon savagely murdered, the family must unlock the castle's evil past in order to save themselves from a similar fate. Dispensing his usual 50/50 mix of horror and comedy, Gordon makes this an out-and-out horror film complete with monsters, old castles, and plenty of bumps in the night. Excellent writing and good performances give CASTLE FREAK depth and character development rarely found in horror films, making the scares all the more effective.DVD Features:Region 0 (All Regions)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Dr. Holden (Dana Andrew), a psychologist knowledgeable about the occult, is dismayed by a friend's strange death, leading him to investigate a demon-worshipping cult in England. But the leader of that sect, Prof. Karswell (Niall MacGuinness), resists Holden's inquiries by calling up an actual demon to fight the good doctor. Can Holden hold his own in a battle of good vs. evil?Based on the M.R. James short story Casting the Runes, Jacques Tourneur's film is considered to be one of the true classics of the horror genre, relying heavily on the power of suggestion to create a heavy atmosphere of fear and dread. The famous, much-debated monster was added by the studio against Tourneur's wishes. The original, uncut version is known as NIGHT OF THE DEMON.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Original Uncut Version - NIGHT OF THE DEMONInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

Director John Carpenter creates an old-fashioned campfire ghost story with THE FOG. Antonio Bay, a quaint, small seaside town is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. That night a heavy, mysterious fog rolls through the town and people begin to die in savage ways. Rumors of a secret as old as the town begin to surface and the people of Antonio Bay realize they are victims of long dead sailors who have come to revenge their own murders at the hands of the town`s founding fathers. The townspeople can only wait for the fog to roll in and pray that they are not the next to die. Carpenter creates a chilling film with THE FOG and gets fine performances out of Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, and the fog itself, which creeps and crawls around as if it were alive. The film elicits its scares out of what is not seen rather than what is, and Carpenter exploits that style perfectly. Vauge shapes move within the fog, while strange noises heard in the distance grow louder, and no one can say exactly what they are up against. THE FOG is one of Carpenter`s earlier films and helped to establish his reputation as a master filmmaker.
