Exploitation films were thriving in the ‘70s, and everything was excess. Why have one naked woman when you could have four, or settle for one onscreen flaying when clearly several are in order? Maybe watching Mansion of the Doomed (1976) you’d be content with a single case of eye transplant surgery instead of the six offered? Well, you’d be wrong. This is a film that leans heavy on the nihilism and nastiness of the times, with nary an existential answer yet plenty to talk about.
Doomed seems to be the key word in the title that permeates nearly every frame; other titles include Eyes, Massacre Mansion, and The Terror of Dr. Chaney, with the latter perhaps being the most apropos considering the moral dilemma lies completely on his shoulders. But Mansion of the Doomed works because, well, that mansion is packed with the doomed, protags and antags alike.

Dogs have long been referred to as "man's best friend," but they can be loyal to the undead as well, as evidenced in 1977's Dracula's Dog, aka Zoltan... Hound of Dracula, coming to Blu-ray this fall with a new 4K master from the team at Kino Lorber, who are also releasing 1966's Billy the Kid vs. Dracula on Blu-ray this August.
Kino Lorber announced the Dracula's Dog Blu-ray release on Facebook, and the Billy the Kid vs. Dracula Blu-ray news comes from Dawn of the Discs and Blu-ray.com.
An exact release date for the Dracula's Dog Blu-ray has yet to be announced, but it is expected to arrive in October, while Billy the Kid vs. Dracula is slated for an August 20th release.
Directed by Albert Band from a screenplay by Frank Ray Perilli, Dracula's Dog stars José Ferrer, Michael Pataki, and Reggie Nalder.

The Final Chapter (read Part 2 here)! We have Howard the Duck, Freejack and Shyamalan flicks on the list; these are never good signs. Nonetheless we are bringing it all to you in full-color and in 3-D. (Ed. Note: Due to the economy, 3-D has been dropped and will be replaced by Smell-o-vision — check for your scratch and sniff cards in about 4-6 weeks.) Best Sound went to rage-zombie veterans Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke, leaving Mark Weingarten who worked on Rejuvenatrix in the dust. The Sound Editing section contains one too many references to Ron Silver, and at least two references to a Roger Corman film.
The visual effects category pulled on our heartstrings this year due to the loss of Stan Winston, who was noted en memoriam along with other heroes, Vampira, Leonard Rosenman and Charles H. Schneer...
