Hold That Ghost [1941]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD
DIRECTOR: Arthur Lubin
WRITER: Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo, John Grant
PRINCIPAL CAST: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Joan Davis, Mischa Auer, Richard Carlson
SYNOPSIS: The third Abbott and Costello movie of 1941, and perhaps their funniest of all-time, was rushed into release to capitalize on the wild success of their first two starring films, Buck Privates and In the Navy. In Hold That Ghost, Bud and Lou come into an inheritance: an abandoned roadhouse formerly belonging to a “rubbed out” mobster. This choice piece of real estate is also supposedly the hiding place for the mobster’s illicit loot. When they arrive to claim the “inheritance,” all mayhem breaks loose. People are mysteriously murdered. Lights go on and off. Walls go inside and out. Moans and shrieks are heard. And ghosts run rampant in this delightful horror-comedy classic. Before Abbott and Costello met the Universal Monsters, the slap-happy stars enjoyed a jaunt with a haunt in Hold That Ghost! Co-starring Joan Davis, sensational as a “professional screamer,” and featuring toe-tappin’ musical numbers by The Andrews Sisters. Hold That Ghost was the legendary duo’s first horror-themed comedy, leading to five more horror-comedy classics, including the masterpiece, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD
DIRECTOR: Amando De Ossorio
WRITER: Amando De Ossorio
PRINCIPAL CAST: Carlos Lemos, Jack Taylor, Maria Perschi, Bárbara Rey
SYNOPSIS:
*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
A publicity stunt gone horribly wrong strands two bikini-clad models in fog-shrouded waters where they encounter a ghostly galleon—the floating tomb of the undead Knights Templar, the Blind Dead. When the models vanish without a trace, a desperate rescue party boards the eerie ship only to find themselves trapped in a supernatural nightmare entwined with satanic cult rituals. Haunted by the sound-hunting, eyeless Templar corpses, the survivors must confront ancient curses and a relentless, otherworldly evil that blurs the boundaries between life and death.
Featuring a captivating cast including Jack Taylor (Pieces, Count Dracula), Maria Perschy (The People Who Own the Dark), and Bárbara Rey (The Night of the Sorcerers), THE GHOST GALLEON (1974) is the third chilling chapter in the cult Blind Dead saga. Written and directed by visionary Amando de Ossorio, it melds atmospheric Gothic horror with a surreal, dream-like quality and unforgettable undead mythology.

Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun [1977]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
DIRECTOR: Jess Franco/Jesús Franco
WRITER: Mariana Alcoforado, Erwin C. Dietrich, Christine Lembach
PRINCIPAL CAST: Ana Zanatti, Herbert Fux, Susan Hemmingway, William Berger
SYNOPSIS:
*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
BEWARE THE KISS OF THE DEVIL! Maverick exploitation film director Jess Franco and Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich’s notorious “nunsploitation” classic LOVE LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN comes to Blu-ray for the very first time in North America, totally uncut and remastered in HD from the original camera negative! 16-year-old Maria (the lovely Susan Hemingway) is taken by force into the dreaded Serra D’Aires convent, a sect secretly run by diabolical Satanists. Her confessor is in collusion with the Mother Superior (Ana Zanatti) and the not so pious pair almost immediately subject Maria to unspeakable tortures, forcing her into sex with men, women, and even the Devil himself. Gaslit into believing this supernatural debauchery is all a dream, she writes a letter to God begging for salvation, but the powers that be have other hideous plans in store for her… Shocking, salacious, and also stunningly shot and expertly performed by an international cast, LOVE LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN is among the best blasphemous European horror films of the 1970s and a high mark in Franco and Dietrich’s respective oeuvres.
Bonus Features:
1. Commentary by author and film historian Troy Howarth
2. Memoirs of a Portuguese Nun
3. Erwin C. Dietrich Trailers
