Through flesh-ripping zombies, psychopathic killers, and blood-soaked scenarios of boundary-pushing terror, Italian horror maestros Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci have given the genre awesome offerings of fear that have delighted and inspired viewers for decades, and Blue Underground will celebrate these legendary, influential writer/directors with two upcoming Blu-ray collections.
Set for release on March 31st, 2015, Blue Underground's The Dario Argento Collection and The Lucio Fulci Collection each feature three films from the prolific filmmakers. We have the official details below (via Blu-ray.com), as well as the Blu-ray cover art (via Amazon). Special features have not been revealed yet, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further announcements.
"The Dario Argento Collection
The Cat O' Nine Tails
A blind man with a talent for solving puzzles teams-up with reporter Carlo Giordani to launch a private investigation into a string of peculiar murders, all of which seem to involve a dubious genetic research facility. The killer soon becomes wise to the duo's plans and will do whatever it takes to stop them from reporting to the police.
Deep Red
A musician witnesses the murder of a famous psychic, and then teams up with a fiesty reporter to find the killer while evading attempts on their lives by the unseen killer bent on keeping a dark secret buried.
Inferno
A young woman stumbles upon a mysterious diary that reveals the secrets of "The Three Mothers" and unleashes a nightmare world of demonic evil. As the unstoppable horror spreads from Rome to New York City, this unholy trinity must be stopped before the world is submerged in the blood of the innocent.
STREET DATE: MARCH 31, 2015.
The Lucio Fulci Collection
City of the Living Dead
The Seven Gates of Hell have been torn open, and in three days the dead shall rise and walk the earth. As a reporter and a psychic race to close the portals of the damned, they encounter a seething nightmare of unspeakable evil. The city is alive - with the horrors of the living dead!
The House by the Cemetery
A young family moves from their cramped New York City apartment to a spacious new home in New England. But this is no ordinary house in the country: the previous owner was the deranged Dr. Freudstein, whose monstrous human experiments have left a legacy of bloody mayhem. Now, someone - or something - is alive in the basement, and home sweet home is about to become a horrific hell on earth.
The New York Ripper
A blade-wielding psychopath is on the loose, turning The Big Apple bright red with the blood of beautiful young women. As NYPD detectives follow the trail of butchery from the decks of the Staten Island Ferry to the sex shows of Times Square, each brutal murder becomes a sadistic taunt. In the city that never sleeps, he's the killer that can't be stopped!
STREET DATE: MARCH 31, 2015."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
