The Tigon Shorts

by
Read more: The Tigon ShortsOur contract with Tigon included four horror’s ‘The Sorcerers’, ‘The Blood Beast Terror’, The Blood on Satan’s Claw’ and ‘The Creeping Flesh’ and as what seemed to be the thing to do in those days, as soon as the feature had been released a 200′ edition was produced. I edited the short from ‘The Sorcerers’,…

The Blood Beast Terror
—
by
Read more: The Blood Beast TerrorOne of the titles from our contract with Tigon and wasn’t on par with the other horrors we picked up at the time. It has a solid cast with Peter Cushing, Robert Flemyng, Wanda Ventham and ‘Doctor Who’ regular Kevin Stoney, but they are all wasted in what is a very poor effort indeed. Peter…

The Legend of Dracula

by
Read more: The Legend of DraculaThis was just one of the many titles we picked up from Norman Salter at his one man business Viscom, in Wardour Street. Originally titled ‘In Search of Dracula’, it was an 82 minute documentary exploring the legends of vampires, using books, paintings and early films on the subject. It was actually an eerie, but…

Read more: The Severed ArmThis rather lame horror thriller was another film we’d picked up from Grand National. The title and its premise sound pretty good, with its plotline concerning five men who find themselves trapped in a cave after a rockfall and resort to cutting off the arm off one of their number in order to avoid starvation.…

Night of Bloody Horror

by
Read more: Night of Bloody HorrorI’m almost ashamed to admit that this was one that I never got around to watching on super 8 and only managed to see a few years ago on one of those cheap Mill Creek DVD compilations… and it turned out to be pretty average fare of the 1970s! I reckon it was on the…

Virgin Witch
—
by
Read more: Virgin WitchAnother Tigon production and if I’m honest this was chosen just to make it a six title contract. However saying that here is a film that had witchcraft, plenty of luscious lovelies and a fair sprinkling of naked flesh… not to mention a touch of lesbianism! It starred Ann and Vicki Michelle (real life sisters),…

Night of the Bloody Apes
—
by
Read more: Night of the Bloody ApesThis Mexican horror from 1969, originally titled ‘La Horripilante Bestia Humana’ has its fair share of cheap gore and a liberal helping of female wrestlers! It also featured footage of an actual human heart transplant operation in two separate scenes and it was these that added it to the video nasty list, where it remained…
