We’ve got one heck of a week for releases, friends. After some last minute additions, our total count for releases is at 39, but if you factor in the collections at the bottom of the list, the number jumps to more than 40 total movies. It’s almost as if there is an event coming up that would entice people into spending a lot of money on others in the form of gifts, possibly even gifts listed below.
First off: our discrepancies. 555 may have dropped on November 15th, but if you couldn’t find it then it also popped up on my radar for this week. Additionally, I originally had Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box Limited Edition Trilogy listed for this week, but it is now showing as a possible release for next week despite also possibly being completely unavailable. In any case, as soon as I can get some definitive information regarding this title I will make it readily available.
Outside of those two classics, there is also a good handful of other movies in the 25 and older group. Going back as far as 1944’s The Lodger, a lot of bases get covered from the movies of yesteryear. The original Black Christmas will be getting a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, as does Jess Franco’s Night Has A Thousand Desires. There are also double features from Roger Corman and Vincent Price and a steelbook release of The Driller Killer. There is also another “Twilight Zone” release this week, although after the past month or so I’m not sure how much more “Twilight Zone” material there is left to warrant this release.
There are so many other movies listed below, satisfying most, if not all, tastes. Check it out below and keep checking back every week. Pleasant viewing.

Hollywood Horror House (aka Savage Intruder) (1970)
Starring:
Miriam Hopkins, David Garfield, Gale Sondergaard, Florence Lake, Lester Matthews
Synopsis:
By 1970, the once golden age of Hollywood glamour and stardom was a tragic last hurrah represented by the decayed and deteriorated Hollywood Sign. In Hollywood Horror House, we’ll go below the sign, to a decaying hilltop mansion of a once great star, played by a once great star, Miriam Hopkins. The fabled Ms. Hopkins, toast of the town back in the thirties with box office hits like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and Becky Sharpe, was an A-list actress and Oscar nominee. Another Oscar winner (Best Supporting Actress 1936) Gale Sondergaard plays Miss Hopkins’ loyal friend and housekeeper, who tries to save her friend from the handsome stranger, played by son of acting legend John Garfield. He may be the culprit littering the land around the Hollywood sign with hacked up body parts. This hellish time capsule showcasing late 60s/early 70s Hollywood, remains an early example of the slasher films which would follow in just a few years. See Miriam Hopkins trapped in a madhouse of hacked up blood-splattered bodies, tripped out drug sequences, murder by electric knives and a Hollywood Christmas Parade with a drunk out of control movie star as its Grand Marshall. Hollywood Horror House is the last death rattle of the Horror Hag craze that began with Better Davis feeding dead rats to Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. Just as Bette sang I’ve written a letter to daddy’ in that film, listen to Miriam sing the hell out of Taking a chance on love. Witness that demented slice of cinema best described as a motel six version of Psycho…you have been warned!

Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box Limited Edition Trilogy
Starring:
Doug Bradley, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Andrew Robinson, Sean Chapman
Synopsis:
IT WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART
Stephen King was once quoted as saying: I have seen the future of horror… his name is Clive Barker. That future became reality when, in 1987, Barker unleashed his directorial debut Hellraiser launching a hit franchise and creating an instant horror icon in the formidable figure of Pinhead.
Barker’s original Hellraiser, based on his novella The Hellbound Heart, follows Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) as she comes head-to-head with the Cenobites demonic beings from another realm who are intent on reclaiming the soul of her deviant Uncle Frank.
Picking up immediately after the events of the original Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II finds Kirsty detained at a psychiatric institute and under the care of Phillip Channard, a doctor who abuses his position to realise his own dark aims.
In Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, a reporter investigating a mysterious death at a nightclub finds herself in the way of Pinhead and the Cenobites, who plan to bring their horrifying world into our own.
Coming at a time when the genre was degenerating into self-parody, Hellraiser offered a fiercely unique vision that approached its horrors with a far greater degree of seriousness than many of its contemporaries.. Along with its sequels, the Barker-produced Hellbound and Hell on Earth, Arrow Video is proud to present some of the most terrifyingly original films in the history of horror in brand new 2K transfers.
