TOP 40 DVD RELEASES FOR 2012 PART 3

20. Dark Crimes (Mill Creek) Great set of 50 film noir movies from the 30's to the 60's. One of the best 12 disc sets ever turned out by Mill Creek. 19. Encounters With The Unknown/When Time Began (Saturn) Great double feature with two rare films. Lots of fun for obscure movie lovers. 18. Vengeance of Fu Manchu (Warner Archive) Great adventure film with Fu again attempting to take over the world and destroy Nayland Smith, his arch enemy. 17. Space Children (Olive) 50's classic about a giant brain taking over the minds of children in order to have them disarm a new bomb being developed at a secret plant. 16. The Hearse/Blood Of Dracula's Castle (Scorpion) Sexy Katerina Waters hosts this great double feature that includes the longer version of Dracula's Castle which includes the werewolf scenes. 15. Screaming In High Heels (Vicious Circle) Fascinating documentary about the three original scream queens..Linenna Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer. One of the best of it's kind and not to be missed by fans of 80's horror. 14. Eclipse Series 37 (Criterion) This set contains four classic Japanese horror films from Shochiku Studio. The films include X From Outer Space, Goke The Body Snatcher From Hell, Genocide, Living Skeleton. The best set of the year and not to be missed. 13. Blood Beast Terror (Redemption) Peter Cushing stars in this film about a blood sucking monster terrorizing the English countryside. It turns out to be a genetically created deathshead moth!! Very off the wall but fun. 12. Maleficarum (Pachamama Films) The most talked about movie on my blog and certainly the most bizarre. This stars the lovely Amy Hesketh as a young woman tortured, along with her friend after they are accused of being witches. Amy is the modern Jess Franco!! Not to be missed. 11. Confessions Of An Opium Eater (Warner Archive) The second most talked about movie on my blog stars Vincent Price as a man who fights the tong wars and frees slave girls in Chinatown. Very visually bizarre film directed by Albert Zugsmith.

My Top 10 will be presented next weekend!!
