NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD & I EAT YOUR SKIN
Zombies have never been hotter, and this DVD highlights two undead classics including the legendary genre-spawner from George Romero (Dawn of the Dead, Survival of the Dead) and one of Elvira’s all-time favorite zombie flicks. Called “a genuine cultural phenomenon” by Entertainment Weekly, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) gave shocking birth to the modern horror movie. When radiation from a fallen satellite causes the dead to reanimate with a hunger for human flesh, a group of survivors holes up in a Pennsylvania farmhouse and attempts to fend off the undead onslaught in this tense film Hatchet director Adam Green calls “one of the most terrifying movies ever made”. In I EAT YOUR SKIN (1964), a cancer researcher on a remote Caribbean island discovers that by treating the natives with snake venom he can turn them into bug-eyed zombies. Though uninterested in this discovery, he’s forced by his employer to create an army of the creatures in order to conquer the world in this 1964 classic called “fascinating…in a so-bad-it’s-good way” by the Zombie Movie Guide.
THE SATANIC RIGHTS OF DRACULA & THE WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON
Hammer’s final Dracula film starring Christopher Lee (Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings) and Peter Cushing (Star Wars, “Sherlock Holmes”) meets Oscar® nominee Dean Stockwell (Blue Velvet, The Manchurian Candidate) in the world’s first ever political werewolf film in this MOVIE MACABRE™ soon-to-be DVD classic! In THE SATANIC RIGHTS OF DRACULA (1973), Scotland Yard investigators think they have uncovered a case of vampirism in London, so they call in an expert vampire researcher named Van Helsing (a descendant of the great vampire-hunter himself, no less) to help them put a stop to these hideous crimes. It soon becomes apparent that the culprit is Count Dracula himself, disguised as a reclusive property developer, and secretly plotting to unleash a fatal virus upon the world. Lee and Cushing are joined by Freddie Jones (Dune, The Elephant Man) and Joanna Lumley (“Absolutely Fabulous”, Ella Enchanted) in a bloody good flick. Oscar®-nominee Stockwell stars in THE WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON (1973), about a reporter who has an affair with the daughter of the President and is send to Hungary, where he’s bitten by a werewolf. Soon, after being transferred back to Washington with a job as press assistant to the President, bodies start turning up in D.C. in this toothsome chiller.
As synonymous with Halloween as Santa Claus is with Christmas , Elvira has carved out a niche in popular American culture and ELVIRA’S MOVIE MACABRE will assure that the “Mistress of the Dark” is the quintessential symbol of all things spooky for decades to come.
