aka "The Horror of Death" - DON'T MISS IT!
Terrific Hammer-style British Gothic Horror-Thriller about a scientist and his children discovering a way of defeating death with science.
co-starring Robert Powell who's best remembered playing Jesus Christ in the 1977 TV mini-series "Jesus of Nazareth" five years after making this film.
I first saw this on 'Elvira's Movie Macabre' in 1986 when I was in the 6th grade, the demons, and especially their screeching screams, scared the holy dog-shit out of me......and still does.
'Elvira's Movie Macabre' version uploaded here under the alternate title "The Horror of Death": https://www.bitchute.com/video/enpwPHxJaV8i/
Plot:
Sir Hugo Cunningham is a brilliant turn-of-the-century scientist, loved and respected by his family and friends, admired by his colleagues. But he is a man quickly becoming obsessed with a curious and frightening question... what is the mysterious apparition found in the photographs of his dying subjects? Has Hugo discovered The 'Asphyx', the spirit of the dead described in Greek mythology? A spirit which lives in constant agony, not finding rest until it takes possession of a human body?

Plot 1:
Previously lost proto-slasher that chronicles the life of murderous psychotic, Jeff Murray, whose perverted mother-obsession leads him on a blood-soaked rampage across the glitter of Sin City.
Plot 2: A man driven insane by his adulterous wife and domineering mother terrorizes the city of Las Vegas, brutally murdering streetwalkers and homosexuals. This very low budget film, marketed for drive-in and "grindhouse" exhibition, was presumed lost until its rediscovery and re-release by Vinegar Syndrome.

*Note: I just noticed it's got the leading lady from 'Psycho A Go-Go' at the 11:30 mark.

"I'm Gonna Kill You Mrs. Clark"
One of my favorite movie villains ever, played by Roy Morton.
Who unfortunately never acted in much else, besides some additional scenes with John Carradine for the Zombie re-edited 'Blood of Ghastly Horror'.
Written & Directed by Al Adamson (who was murdered in real life)
Would later be re-edited into 'Blood of Ghastly Horror' (1967)
which again would be re-titled for TV as 'Man With The Synthetic Brain'.
*Note: the bloody climax of the main villain was missing, but was still in Blood of Ghastly Horror, so I added it back into this film.
Plot:
Jewel thieves quickly dispose of the loot when the alarm goes off, then track down the family upon whose pickup truck they threw them in, cruelly interrogating them in the hope of getting the loot back.

Starring: Oliver Reed - Directed by: Terence Fisher - Produced by: Hammer Films
The only wolfman film put out by Hammer Studios.
Plot:
In eighteenth-century Spain, an adopted boy becomes a werewolf and terrorizes the inhabitants of his town.

First released in West Germany 10 days before I was born.
Starring: Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing
Produced by: Hammer Films
Very interesting modern tale of Count Dracula using biological diseases to start the Apocalypse and destroy mankind, which I thought was an excellent concept to show just how evil he is.
Plot:
In 1974, Professor Lorrimer Van Helsing investigates a satanic cult on behalf of Scotland Yard, only to discover a plot by Count Dracula to commit global genocide.

Starring 1960s Blonde-Bombshell 'Nudie Film' Regular, Sharon Kent.
Plot:
Previously lost proto-slasher involving Mafia members bumped off by a black-clad, veiled "Black Widow" within the New York City underworld, as seen by newspapermen sifting through a cast of prostitutes and thugs.
Investigators enlist the aid of a call girl to capture a dangerous killer praying on local mobsters.

Most excellent sequel to the original 'Demons' released a year before.
This time taking place in a high-rise apartment building.
Once again Directed by Lamberto Bava
and written by Lamberto Bava & Dario Argento.
Plot:
A group of tenants and visitors are trapped in a 10-story high-rise apartment building infested with demons who proceed to hunt the dwindling humans down.

*Re-Upload of better BluRay rip, the former was kinda pixelated.
DON'T MISS IT!
Excellent Italian twist on the Zombie genre, but people get turned into Demons if they get bit or scratched, and instead of being trapped indoors while the monsters lurk outside, everyone is trapped indoors WITH the monsters with no way to escape. The sequel 'DEMONS 2' is equally as fantastic.
Awesome 80s hard-rock/heavy-metal soundtrack to boot.
Directed by Lamberto Bava, the son of famous Italian cinematographer and gothic-horror director Mario Bava.
Written by Lamberto Bava & famous Italian horror filmmaker Dario Argento (who was also Producer of this).
I met the director Lamberto Bava a few years ago at a horror convention in Dallas,TX and he was selling replicas of the chrome demon mask from this film.
Plot:
Random civilians are invited to a screening of a mysterious horror movie, only to find out the film is creating monsters in real life, the theater patrons finding themselves trapped in the theater with ravenous demons with no way to escape.
"They Will Make Cemeteries Their Cathedrals & Cities Will Be Your Tombs"

Dubbed in English
co-starring 'Bond Girl' - Karin Dor
Based on the Germanic/Old Norse legend of Siegfried (or Sigurd) which German composer Richard Wagner based some of his famous operas on.
Plot:
Following the successful conspiracy to execute Siegfried, Kriemhild gets an inroad to exact her revenge by agreeing to marry the king of the Huns.

co-starring 'Bond Girl' - Karin Dor
Based on the Germanic/Old Norse legend of Siegfried (or Sigurd) which German composer Richard Wagner based some of his famous operas on.
Plot:
Made invincible after bathing in the blood of a slayed dragon, Siegfried strikes a dicey deal with the king in order to marry the lovely Kriemhild.

"Mother, This Cloth Smells Of Death!"
One of the better 80s 'Italian Zombie' gore films (which was practically the dying-end of the Italian film industry in America)
By the director of the Giallo classic "Strip Nude for Your Killer" (1975)
Though this one has a really weird incest element that's both creepy and humorous. The Zombies look cool and the gore is exceptional.
Plot:
An archaeology professor discovers an ancient crypt which contains living dead corpses that kill him. The zombies go on a rampage and attack a group of people which the professor had invited to celebrate his discovery.

I first saw this on one of those budget '50 Movie' DVD collections (same place I first saw 'Naked Massacre/Born for Hell'), it was a pleasant little 1970s oddball film with some nice authentically creepy, isolated & nightmarish atmosphere moments, finally making it's way to a BluRay release.
Plot:
After losing contact with her artist father, Arletty travels to the west coast. Though she doesn't find him, she meets Thom, an odd wealthy man who's traveling with 2 companions to meet her father. She reads her father's diary and realizes there's something strange with the residents of this California seaside town.

Re-Upload, the former Tubi-TV Rip was missing the wrist-cutting blood-squirting toilet scene towards the end of the movie, this is a BluRay Rip which includes that scene.
One of my favorite slasher films ever, filmed in Belfast, Ireland during the real-life bloody conflict between Catholics & Protestants. The movie is loosely based on the Richard Speck murders in Chicago, the lack of much of a musical background soundtrack makes this movie exceptionally more creepy and realistic.
The only 2 musical ques in the whole film can be found here:
opening title music: https://www.bitchute.com/video/wKSjbc1YRauV/
morning routine radio: https://www.bitchute.com/video/JvaxZN1XK8Rv/
The BluRay includes a pretty cool recent interview with lead actor Matthew Carriere.

goofy sloppy zombie re-edit of 'Psycho A-Go-Go'.
Lord help us. smh

I'll be uploading the full film tomorrow in it original widescreen Techniscope aspect ratio from the BluRay release, but it's missing a few death scenes of the main villain after he falls to his death, so I'm editing them back in from another source.
One of my favorite 1960s American thrillers
and one of my favorite movie villains played by Roy Morton.
This film was later butchered into a silly zombie mess called "Blood of Ghastly Horror" (1971)

vinyl rip of the rare Psycho-A-Go Go promotional 45 record.

vinyl rip of the rare Psycho-A-Go Go promotional 45 record.

Opening theme lifted from the film, made for a compilation of rare themes & soundtracks never officially released, that I put together around 2016 for a movie torrent site called CINEMAGEDDON.

Warning: Real rats were harmed in the making of this film.
Story goes they starved some rats so they would literally attack actor Paul Naschy and Naschy proceeds to set them on fire alive with a torch.
Like most Naschy films, he was also co-writer (sometimes under his real name Jacinto Molina as in the case of 'Horror Rises From The Tomb')
Paul Naschy plays a hunchback with below average intelligence who works at the morgue. He is in love with a sickly girl who happens to be the only person who is kind to him. Each day he brings her flowers until the day she dies. He never really accepts her death and believes she is just sleeping. The girl eventually ends up at the morgue where she is being prepared for burial. Naschy's character flips out at the desecration of the girls body and stabs and decapitates the men in the only scene of gore in the movie. The police begin to look for him. This is when the Hunchback meets up with a mad scientist who's work isn't accepted by the general society. The scientist promises the Hunchback that he would re-animate the girl's body if the Hunchback brings him fresh bodyparts from the graveyard and live victims. He uses the parts to create a globby slime-monster.

sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, been messing with other projects.
An exceptional Spanish Euro-Zombie film, mixed with medieval witchcraft elements, you won't be disappointed.
Plot: In Medieval France a warlock is be-headed and his wife tortured and executed. Hundreds of years later an isolated group of people discover his head buried on their property. Soon it comes back to life, possessing people and using them to commit sacrifices and to search for the rest of his body.

it glitched out for a second, but I'm not sure if that was the movie file or the streaming program, other than that looked and sounded great.

"THRILL ME!"
Brain-slugs from outer space turn a college town into zombies, a cop, a nerdy guy and a beauty queen struggle to survive the college campus zombie-apocalypse.
NOTE: This includes the 'alternate ending' that was only seen in the TV broadcast, that was different (and better) than the ending from the VHS & DVD release.

"SING JINGLE BELLS!"
Unintentionally hilarious feminist anti-rape thriller.
plot:
A group of rape victims of the same hockey-masked attacker join forces to take on creeps, perverts, players and chauvinistic disco-ducks with some ball-kicking, kung-fu chopping action and finally trap their Jason-esque serial rapist/killer with a 'Jingle Bells' fetish.

Under the original opening title 'Hell Island'
A cruise ship full of yokels & flappers goes down in the middle of the night, the passengers struggle for life-boats, one of them drifts away from the others and lands on an unknown island, the survivors are met with enduring the wild, until they are found and rescued, they are faced...(or rather de-faced) with acid pits and worse, a primitive tribe of one-foot-tall VERY hungry cannibals, who constantly bombard them at every turn, be it day or night.
Made on a shoe-string budget in Fairfield, Connecticut, but very inventive and never boring, there's always something happening on HELL ISLAND!
Who will survive and what will be left of them? (their bones most likely)

Happy Halloween 2023!
My computer crashed right after my last upload, just got it up and running again after 4 days of tinkering & troubleshooting.
The only 'slasher film' besides to Friday the 13th (pt 3) released in 3-D that I can recall.
storyline:
A criminally insane man is accidentally released from a mental hospital. The staff tries to cover it up, but a young psychiatrist travels to the college town where he committed several murders to warn the locals and anticipate his arrival.
