Another box label for one of our many video cassette releases. This was one of our very first video cassette releases and was made available, as were all Derann releases, on both VHS and Beta. This was one of three titles that Derek had quickly picked up from Tom Blakeley, with just a phone call. it’s simple storyline concerned a number of bizarre and grisly deaths that bring a scientist to a remote island where researchers have accidentally created a deadly life form. Tom hadn’t any publicity material available, so the video label was was made up of a single photo that didn’t even have its famous star Peter Cushing, on it! Instead it’s veteran character actor Sam Kydd and the a tentacle of one of the creatures. It may seem pretty bland, but this title was a popular item right up to the very end of our presence in the video market.
