A Trio of New Kino Lorber Titles Arrive on October 8th: BABY BLOOD, HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD, and MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK!

WOMB-RAIDING PARASITES, A DEMI-GOD'S TRIP TO HADES, AND ZOMBIE PROMS ARE JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF KINO LORBER'S LATEST BLU-RAY TITLES!

GORE! PEPLUM! ROMANTIC ZOMBIE COMEDY! Kino Lorber is truly gifting us with an eclectic mix of films next week Vault Dwellers! BABY BLOOD (which also goes by THE EVIL WITHIN) involves a beautiful woman who has an unwelcome (and hungry) guest nestled within her womb! I had this (apparent) masterpiece on VHS back in the day, but never got around to watching it (a symptom of having too many movies)!

HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD was directed by Mario Bava and has bodybuilder Reg Park invading Hades to find a cure for his ailing Princess, and MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK features an undead Chris Lowery crawling from his grave to take Traci Lind on a date! (Can you blame him?!) If any of these have caught your interest, then continue onward to learn more about Kino Lorber's trio of new releases!

BABY BLOOD (1990)

Synopsis: It's Time to Feed the Baby! It is a voracious parasite from the dawn of creation, surviving centuries in search of the one thing it needs: to be born of a human. But when this cunning creature slithers inside a sexy circus performer (voluptuous French starlet Emmanuelle Escourrou - LADY BLOOD), it demands gallons of fresh blood to grow stronger. Now this reluctantly expectant mommy and her chatty mutant fetus are off on a cross-country killing spree, where pre-natal care means violent carnage and the ultimate mother's milk is BABY BLOOD!

Also known as THE EVIL WITHIN, and co-written and directed by Alain Robak (ADRENALINE), this French shocker is now presented totally uncut and uncensored with all its infamous womb-raiding, gore-spewing and flesh-baring beautifully restored in HD!

Unfortunately I couldn't find much info about the audio & video on this release Vault Dwellers! This title was previously released by Mill Creek Entertainment so Kino's disc will either be on par, or likely better than what Mill Creek offered up! And along with the heap o' new extras on this release, fans of this film won't mind paying $18 - $20 for it! MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK (SPECIAL EDITION) will be available on Tuesday, October 8th - order a copy today from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from KINO LORBER!
