Scream Factory gives you a double dose of TALES FROM THE CRYPT this Halloween season!


ON OCTOBER 20TH, BATTLE EVIL WITH "DEMON KNIGHT," AND PAY A VISIT TO "THE BORDELLO OF BLOOD" WITH SCREAM FACTORY'S NEW "TALES FROM THE CRYPT" COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAYS!

I am an unapologetic fan of DEMON KNIGHT. It has a great premise, and outstanding cast, and has remained as one of my all-time favorite genre films. BORDELLO OF BLOOD, while not nearly as good, is still a lot of fun in it's own right, and I cannot wait to add these to my personal collection!

Film Synopses: DEMON KNIGHT - A mysterious drifter known as Brayker (William Sadler) possesses the last of seven ancient keys that hold the power to stop the forces of darkness and protect all humanity from ultimate evil. But the human race is safe only so long as Brayker can evade the demonic Collector (Billy Zane) who has gathered the other six keys.

In his obsessive quest for the key, the Collector rallies an army of ghastly cadavers against Brayker and the inhabitants of a run-down hotel. Armed with automatic weapons, sacred blood and sadistic humor, Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) must lead the other guests in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls.

Infested with a talented cast, thrilling special effects and the crypt keeper's deadpan delights, DEMON KNIGHT is directed by genre vet Ernest Dickerson (THE WALKING DEAD, DEXTER, MASTERS OF HORROR) and features a strong cast, including Billy Zane (TITANIC), William Sadler (IRON MAN 3, BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY), Jada Pinkett (GOTHAM), Brenda Bakke (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL), CCH Pounder (ORPHAN, AVATAR), Thomas Haden Church (SPIDER-MAN 3, SIDEWAYS), Dick Miller (GREMLINS), and Charles Fleischer (ZODIAC).

BORDELLO OF BLOOD - Wisecracking private eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) investigates some strange happenings at a titillating bordello on the edge of town. It seems owner Madam Lilith (Angie Everhart) and her luscious cohorts want more than money… they want blood!

Soon Rafe finds himself up to his neck in a den of hungry vampiresses and battling the Reverend Jimmy Current (Chris Sarandon), a slick televangelist with an unstoppable talisman.

Brimming with blood, lust and wicked laughs, BORDELLO OF BLOOD is directed by film producer/filmmaker Gilbert Adler (THIR13EN GHOSTS, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL) and features a fun cast of Dennis Miller (JOE DIRT), Erika Eleniak (UNDER SIEGE), Angie Everhart (JADE), Chris Sarandon (FRIGHT NIGHT, CHILD'S PLAY), Corey Feldman (THE LOST BOYS, THE GOONIES), John Kassir as the voice of the crypt keeper, Aubrey Morris (A CLOCKWORK ORGANGE) and Phil Fondacaro (TROLL, GHOULIES II).
