    Released by: Mill Creek Entertainment
    Released on: September 20th, 2017.
    Director: George A. Romero
    Cast: Joe Judith O'Dea, Duane Jones, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman, Keith Wayne, Judith Riley, Kyro Schon, Bill Hinzman
    Year: 1968
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movie:

    A quote from Elliott Stein of The Village Voice states that Night Of The Living Dead is “the most influential horror film since Psycho”, which is probably true. Fans and critics alike will be hard pressed to think of another film that has had a bigger impact on modern horror films. In fact, Night Of The Living Dead has really gone on to be more than just a film, it's literally become an important part of American pop culture as a whole and its influence can be seen not only in films     ...

    Year: 1965

    The Movie:

    This, one of the more notoriously awful films of Ed Wood's career, was actually directed by A.C. Stephens (the first of a few collaborations that would last between the two until Wood passed away in 1978). Orgy Of The Dead was written Ed Wood and based on his novel of the same name (published by Greenleaf Press and supposedly featuring an introduction from Forrest J. Ackerman?).

    Released by: Well Go USA
    Released on: September 12th, 2017
    Director: Don Coscarelli, David Hartman
    Cast: Reggie Bannister, A. Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Angus Scrimm
    Year: Various
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movies:

    The Phantasm movies are weird, even by horror movie standards. There’s just such a strange air of, well, weirdness to them that despite plenty of moments of black humor and quirky comedy, give the four films in the series so far a feeling of uneasiness and dread. Maybe it’s the Tall Man, maybe it’s the bizarre undead dwarfs that do his bidding, maybe it’s the sphere or maybe it’s Reggie ‘Balls In The Air, Dude!’ Bannister – it’s really hard to put your finger on it – but something about these films is just kind of creepy. Hot on the heels of their sold out Blu-ray collection, Well Go USA now reissues the five films in one handy-dandy DVD collection.

    PHANTASM:
    The film that started it all is still the strangest of the series thus far. When the film starts, we’re introduced to a down on his luck teenager named Mike (played by Michael Baldwin) who has recently lost his mother and father. Aside from his musically inclined older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and their mutual friend, a guitar playing ice cream man named Reggie (played by Reggie Bannister), he’s more or less alone in the world and as such, he’s     ...

    Year: 1974/1975/1976
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movie:

    Kinji Fukasaku's Battles Without Honor And Humanity five film series was a huge commercial success in its homeland. While Fukasaku never planned on continuing the series, Toei Studios talked him into coming back for another trilogy, resulting in the three New Battles Without Honor And Humanity series, once again with the inimitable Bunta Sugawara in the lead roles. The three films are not connected, though they do deal with some of the same themes and all take place in the underworld setting that you’d expect if you’re familiar with the original five movies.

    Arrow Video now give these three vintage Yakuza films their official English     ...
