Brain Hammer approved horror dvds hitting stores 01/29/08:
BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD (special edition): Legend House
Three showgirls on their way to Las Vegas have car trouble and are stuck all night out in the desert. The next morning cheerful Andre (Andrew Prine) offers them help in fixing their car. However, Andre is really a maniac with a lot of family problems; his mother ran out on him when he was a child so now he keeps kidnapped women chained up in his barn and trains them to perform circus tricks. Andre’s father is still around, but because the old homestead is next to a nuclear test site he has been transformed into a raving homicidal mutant that Andre keeps locked up in a shed.
This family favorite (aka Nightmare Circus) gets a special edition dvd release, with bonus features including a brand new interview with star Andrew Prine and an episode of the “videozine” Gore Beat.

EURO TRASH Triple Feature (BAD INCLINATION, FACELESS, WITCHERY; 3-disc rerelease): Shriek Show/Media Blasters
Another awesome triple feature from the fine folks at Shriek Show. Here’s the details:
Director Pierfrancesco Campanella presents BAD INCLINATION, the tale of a grotesque building with mysterious tenants that holds the secret to a merciless serial killer who is murdering women with an unusual weapon, a metal setsquare. Public Prosecutor Rita Facino (Mirca Viola) is assigned to investigate the case of brutal slayings while TV stations viciously battle it out for ratings, uncovering the story behind the murders and sensationally attempting to find the assassin.
FACELESS is from one of the world’s most prolific and infamous horror filmmakers, Jess Franco, director of Vampyros Lessbos, Succubus, Killer Barbys, and many more! When a powerful industrialists’ (Telly Savalas!) fashion model daughter (Caroline “Maniac” Munro) goes missing, Detective Sam Morgan (Christopher Mitchum) uncovers clues that lead him to the mad doctor’s (Helmut Berger) secret house of surgical horrors. Lots of pukeworthy splatter!
Director Fabrizio Laurenti presents WITCHERY. Gary (David Hasselhoff!) and his gal pal Linda (Catherine Hickland) visit an island off the coast of Massachusetts where a haunted resort hotel looms to do research on witchcraft. They’re joined by the Brooks family (including a pregnant Linda Blair!), prospective buyers of the property. When a violent storm prevents them from leaving the island, they’re forced to endure the vengeful wrath of an evil witch who won’t quit until every last one of them dies a horrible death!
That’s all for this week! As always, KEEP THE BLOOD FLOWING!!!
