Severin Films Officially Announces MORBID PLEASURES: A COMPENDIUM OF GRAND GUIGNOL & THE GRAND GUIGNOLESQUE

After some recent social media teases, Severin has officially revealed MORBID PLEASURES: A COMPENDIUM OF GRAND GUIGNOL & THE GRAND GUIGNOLESQUE! An absolutely incredible look into the history and influence of Paris' Grand Guignol, this looks to be another special collection from Severin Films and required viewing for those looking to expand their knowledge of horror history:

From the Press Release: From the birth of cinema to the enduring influence of macabre horror, Severin Films presents its most monumental collection to date: Spanning 12 Blu-ray discs with 80+ hours of combined content,  MORBID PLEASURES brings together more than 60 films dating from 1895 to 2025 – many on  home video for the first time ever – including rare and rediscovered silent films with new music by  Steven Severin (Siouxsie and the Banshees), David J (Bauhaus, Love And Rockets) & Tim Newman, Stephen Thrower (Coil) and renowned accompanists Michael D. Mortilla and Neil Brand,  plus dozens of hours of new and archival Special Features that explore virtually every historic aspect of  gruesome entertainment.  

At its heart is David Gregory’s award-winning feature documentary THEATRE OF HORRORS: THE  SORDID STORY OF PARIS’ GRAND GUIGNOL which examines the infamous Parisian theater and its  still-graphic impact on popular culture. The collection also shines a long overdue spotlight on ‘The Most  Assassinated Woman In The World’ Paula Maxa as well as filmmakers that include Fred Paul, Maurice  Tourneur, Robert Hossein and Vernon Sewell, and traces the theater’s gore-fueled influence on modern cinema, the true crime phenomenon and even live heavy metal, featuring new interviews with  Alice Cooper, GWAR and the W.A.S.P. ‘Rack Girls’.  

Also included is the new 350-page full-color book Blood, Sweat & Sperm: The Visceral Horrors of  The Grand Guignol featuring writings by André Breton, Richard J. Hand, Aleister Crowley, André  de Lorde, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alfred Binet, Maxa and more. 

Note: Disc 12 is a strictly Limited Edition Bonus Disc featuring Herschell Gordon Lewis’ landmark  1970 film THE WIZARD OF GORE as well as the long-out-of-print 2007 remake starring Brad Dourif,  Bijou Phillips and Crispin Glover, directed by Jeremy Kasten.
