ESCAPED MENTAL PATIENTS AND MURDEROUS GIGOLOS LURK WITHIN SCREAM FACTORY'S LATEST BLU-RAYS!
Chalk up two more Scream Factory titles that I need to check out. FRIGHT's plot sounds suspiciously familiar, as it revolves around a babysitter under assault by an escaped mental patient (cough, HALLOWEEN, cough). As for STRAIGHT ON TILL MORNING, I was hoping that it was some sort of crazy Peter Pan-themed fright flick, but instead it seems like it's more of a bizarre love story between a young woman and a gigolo/serial killer. Either way, both films have garnered my interest, and I'd love to add them to my always growing Scream Factory collection. If you're as unfamiliar with these two movies as I am, continue reading to sate your curiosity!
FRIGHT (1971)
Synopsis: Teenage babysitter Amanda (Susan George - STRAW DOGS, TINTORERA) arrives at the Lloyd home to watch their young son for the evening. But it seems that the strangely nervous Mrs. Lloyd is hiding a shocking secret ... a secret that has just escaped from a nearby insane asylum and is now desperately trying to get inside the house. What must Amanda endure to survive the ultimate night of Fright?

SCREAM FACTORY'S UPCOMING BLU-RAYS OFFER UP EGYPTIAN CURSES, MAD SURGEONS, AND A FANGED CHRISTOPHER LEE!
2019 has been a damned good year for Scream Factory, who has continued to build one of the largest physical media catalogs I've ever seen. (It reminds me of MGM back in their Midnite Movies days!) And now they've added three more classic films to their vaults, with the release of Hammer's BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB and SCARS OF DRACULA, and the final entry in the "Sadian Trilogy," namely CIRCUS OF HORRORS! Both Hammer titles fare the best and come complete with new audio commentaries and two different aspect ratios! Let's take a closer look before pre-ordering these Vault Dwellers, shall we?
BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB (1971)
Synopsis: A British expedition in Egypt discovers the ancient sealed tomb of the evil Queen Tera. But when one of the archaeologists steals a mysterious ring from the corpse's severed hand, he unleashes a relentless curse upon his beautiful daughter. Is the voluptuous young woman now a reincarnation of the diabolical sorceress... or has the curse of the mummy returned to reveal its horrific revenge?
Andrew Keir (QUATERMASS AND THE PIT) and the beautiful Valerie Leon (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME) star in this supernatural shocker based on Bram Stoker's classic novel The Jewel Of The Seven Stars.

But when the re-sculpted lovelies try to escape the clutches of the obsessed doctor, they begin to meet with sudden and horrific "accidents." Now the trapeze is swinging, the knives are flying, the wild animals are loose – and "The Grisliest Show on Earth" is about to begin!

SCARS OF DRACULA (1970)
Synopsis: The legendary Christopher Lee is back as Dracula, bringing unspeakable horrors upon a local village that defies his evil reign. But when a young man and his luscious girlfriend unwittingly visit the Count's castle, they find themselves trapped in a face-to-face frenzy of bloodthirsty vixens, religious blasphemy and sadistic henchmen. The Prince of Darkness has returned like never before, but will his horrific mark remain forever?
