TOP 45 RELEASES OF 2019 PART 4

Well here we are at part four at the end of the year is just a few day away. I have turned one year older yesterday and sometimes I really feel it, which is why I watch a lot of movies whenever I can. So let's get started.

20. MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS 1958 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY... Great 50's horror with Arthur Franz as a man who injects himself with a serum and changes into a prehistoric man. One of my all time faves and it looks fantastic on Blu.

19. PROPHECY 1979 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY...Shout continued to turn out the greatest number of great genre horror films with this classic film about a mutant monster running loose in the woods of Maine. Scared the hell out of me when I first saw it, and I still love it.

18. LUST FOR A VAMPIRE 1971 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY... Long sought after Hammer film about vampires starring gorgeous Suzanne Leigh and Yutte Stensgaard. Yep, both the beautiful women look great on Blu-ray and a huge thanks to Shout for finally bringing this out.

17. HORROR OF DRACULA 1958 (WARNER ARCHIVE) BLU-RAY... The first Hammer vampire film and the one that started it all starring Christopher Lee as the infamous Count Dracula and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing.

16. HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD 1961 (KINO) BLU-RAY... Great sword and sandal fantasy film starring Christopher Lee as the evil Lico and Reg Park as Hercules. Lovely to look at on Blu I wish more of these kinds of films would get re-mastered.

15. THE MONOLITH MONSTERS 1957 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY... The closer we get to number one the more Shout releases there are. This is and always will be one of my favorite films because it's so damned original. Giant growing rocks threaten to take over the world. Grant Williams and Lola Albright star.

14. ALLIGATOR PEOPLE 1959 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY... More fun 50's horror on Blu. A scientist conducts experiments on people and changes them into hideous monsters.

13. SATAN'S TRIANGLE 1973 (SINISTER CINEMA)... Great made for TV terror film about a woman discovered alone on a boat after it has passed thru the Devil's Triangle. I never forgot this gem after it scared me so badly on TV when it first aired 46 years ago.

12. MUMMY'S REVENGE 1976 (SCORPION) BLU-RAY... A great Paul Naschy film about a mummy that comes to life and kills those who has disturbed him. This is simply the BEST looking print ever of this film and you'll never see it better than this. Gorgeous color and widescreen and fully uncut.

11. ASSIGNMENT TERROR 1971 (SCORPION) BLU-RAY... Again, a gorgeous print and fully uncut. Michael Rennie stars with the incredibly sexy Karin Dor in a film about alien invaders who plan to conquer Earth with the help of several monsters including The Mummy and the wolfman (Paul Naschy). I have always loved this movie and it was a real treat to finally see it as it was meant to be seen. Widescreen and uncut.

And there you are. Next week will be the first Saturday of 2020, and that is when I will introduce my Top 10 releases for 2019. Have a Happy New Year and I will continue the countdown next week.
