101 Films presents gruesome exploitation shocker Mansion Of The Doomed (1976), available in the UK for the very first time. This limited-edition release includes a brand-new documentary on producer Charles Band’s Full Moon Features, an interview with editor Harry Keramidas, artwork from the original UK ‘video nasty’ release and a booklet featuring brand new essays on the film.
Seized and confiscated under the Obscene Publications Act in the UK during the Video Nasty panic of the 1980s, Mansion Of The Doomed (aka The Eyes of Doctor Chaney & House of Blood and known variously as The Terror of Doctor Chaney and Massacre Mansion in the UK) was the first horror film from Charles Band’s Full Moon Features, the legendary B-movie studio that endeavoured to create low-budget horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films while retaining a somewhat “big-budget” feel, which led to the creation of cult classics like Trancers, Puppet Master and Demonic Toys.

One of my moments of dread is the threat of random violence. The moment in the original Terminator when the machine shows up at people’s homes, knocks on their door and asks if they are Sarah Connor then promptly shoots them when they answer yes is still chilling. Drawing inspiration for me from the classically brutal Martyrs (2008) and the odd cheapy eye transplant film Mansion Of The Doomed (1976) is this lovely gripping Italian horror thriller The Goldsmith (aka L’orafo) (2022)
The film opens on a chase scene in broad daylight over urban dirt fields, three children who turn out to be younger versions of the people in the film are fleeing from an older man. Arianna (Valentina Carbone), Stefano (Matthias Cavallo) and Roberto (Federico Graziani). During the chase, the girl drops a gold cross. The old man catches up to them and reaches down for the cross. The male children charge to stop him.

Hello, dear readers! We’re back with a brand-new batch of horror and sci-fi home media releases that will be out this Tuesday. One of my favorite films of 2021, Lana Wachowski’s The Matrix Resurrections is being released on various formats this week, and two other great 2021 releases—Agnes and Silent—are headed to both Blu-ray and DVD as well. Dario Argento’s Phenomena is getting the 4K treatment courtesy of the fine fiends over at Synapse Films, and Full Moon is showing some love to a pair of cult films—Island of the Fishmen and Mansion of the Doomed—that fans will undoubtedly want to check out.
Other genre home media releases for March 8th include Monster From Green Hell: Special Edition, 13 Fanboy, The Legend of La Llorona, Video Psycho, Night of Doom, and the final season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond.

Gothic horror at its finest returns on February 2nd, 2022 with the latest installment of Manor Black! From creators Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, and Tyler Crook, we have details on Manor Black: Fire in the Blood and a look at artwork from the first issue:
"The powerful and ancient blood sorcerer Roman Black has taken a young fire mage under his wing after she has done the impossible—taken her magic house’s totem spirit inside herself. But the totem is powerful, and may be impossible to control, especially when Roman’s children begin to see the young mage as a threat.
Roman Black treads dangerous waters in resisting the Descent—the ancient tradition of choosing a successor and transcending the mortal world. His own father held out against this inevitable fate, and the repercussions through the House of Blood were terrifying. Now, a tale of unrelenting terror from Roman's past unfolds.

Hardly a high point in the careers of stars Richard Basehart and Gloria Grahame (not to mention an up-and-coming Lance Henrickson), this grisly little grindhouse version of Eyes Without a Face still has its disturbing moments. Insane surgeon Basehart transplants the eyeballs of unwilling live donors into the sockets of his maimed daughter and fails every time. Dp Andrew Davis went on to direct studio movies like The Fugitive. Also known as Eyes, The Eyes of Dr. Chaney, Terror of Dr. Chaney and Massacre Mansion.

Hello, dear readers! We hope you’ve been enjoying our Indie Horror Month celebration so far, and we’re only (nearly) halfway there! Last week, we launched our retro video interview series, Ihm: Revisited, which featured a series of in-depth interviews with the likes of John Carpenter and Oren Peli. Today, we’ve got a brand new interview with you to enjoy featuring Full Moon Features’ founder Charles Band.
For the first part of our interview with Band, we spoke to him about how he got started in the industry prior to the launch of Full Moon in the late 1980s. During our discussion with Charles, he talked about growing up on film sets because of his father, the entrepreneurial spirit that fueled him before he started working in the world of film and how he was able to use a book-binding business to help him fund his career in...

Exploitation films were thriving in the ‘70s, and everything was excess. Why have one naked woman when you could have four, or settle for one onscreen flaying when clearly several are in order? Maybe watching Mansion of the Doomed (1976) you’d be content with a single case of eye transplant surgery instead of the six offered? Well, you’d be wrong. This is a film that leans heavy on the nihilism and nastiness of the times, with nary an existential answer yet plenty to talk about.
Doomed seems to be the key word in the title that permeates nearly every frame; other titles include Eyes, Massacre Mansion, and The Terror of Dr. Chaney, with the latter perhaps being the most apropos considering the moral dilemma lies completely on his shoulders. But Mansion of the Doomed works because, well, that mansion is packed with the doomed, protags and antags alike.

The Nesting (1981) An all star cast including Oscar winning screen veteran Gloria Grahame (in her final performance), legendary character actor John Carradine (The Howling) and Robin Groves (Silver Bullet) star in a haunted house horror chiller directed by Armand Weston of The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion).
After a theatrical run and some limited success upon the film's initial VHS release from Warner Home Video, The Nesting became long obscure. Well that changes now! The Nesting is finally hitting DVD and Blu-Ray shelves on June 28 from Blue Underground.
In The Nesting, a mystery writer finds herself mysteriously drawn to an isolated mansion. She leaves New York to move into the eerie Victorian mansion, once a brothel haunted by the ghost of a madam Florinda Costello (Gloria Grahame) along with an assortment of dead prostitutes. The ex-brothel is the scene of several gory killings, witnessed by the writer.

The Nesting is one of thousands of horror films that has never been released on DVD, that is until now, because Blue Underground is putting it out and you have the nice option of a pristine Blu-ray if you like.

“Coming on both formats June 28, The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion) was directed by Armand Weston and stars Robin Groves as Lauren Cochran, an agoraphobic mystery writer who relocates from the city to an old Victorian house in the country to get over her writer’s block. Unfortunately, Lauren soon receives more inspiration than she’d like as people around her start dying violently, and she starts uncovering the house’s gruesome history.

Michael Pataki was a leading character actor from the 1960s, who was best known for his roles in cult horror films. Pataki starred as Caleb Croft, a vicious vampire rapist whose offspring (William Smith) seeks his destruction in 1974’s Grave of the Vampire, and was Count Dracula and his modern-day descendant Michael Drake in Albert Band’s cult classic Dracula’s Dog (aka Zoltan, Hound of Dracula).
Pataki was born in Youngstown, Ohio, on January 16, 1938. He studied drama and political science at the University of Southern California.

The shocking 1971 thriller Blood And Lace (not to be confused with Mario Bava’s similarly titled Blood And Black Lace from 1964) opens with a bloody hammer murder shot from the point of view of the killer that predates an almost identical opening to John Carpenter’s Halloween by 6 years. The plot of Blood And Lace involves murder, pedophilia, incest, and a freezer full of child corpses. And it was rated PG! (more accurately Gp, the 1971 equivalent). An irresistible mix of bad psychodrama, overacting, and gratuitous gore, Blood And Lace is a disturbing film of genuine misanthropy, bereft of humanity on any level and it’s hard to believe that children in 1971 were allowed into movie theatres showing it. It’s also hard to believe that it is Not available on DVD.
The victim of Blood And Lace’s aforementioned hammer attack was village hooker Edna Masters, leaving her troubled teenage...
