Continuing its mission to unearth the very best in weird and wonderful horror obscura from the golden age of US independent genre moviemaking, Arrow Video is proud to present the second volume in its American Horror Project series co-curated by author Stephen Thrower (Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents). Starting off with a little-seen 1970 offering from underrated cult auteur John Hayes (Grave of the Vampire, Garden of the Dead), Dream No Evil is a haunting, moving tale of a young woman's desperate quest to be reunited with her long-lost father only to find herself drawn into a fantasyland of homicidal madness. Meanwhile, 1976's Dark August stars Academy Award winner Kim Hunter (A Streetcar Named Desire) in a story of a man pursued by a terrifying and deadly curse in the wake of a hit-and-run accident. Lastly, 1977's Harry Novak-produced The Child is a gloriously delirious slice of horror mayhem in which a young girl raises an army of the dead against the people she holds responsible for her mother's death. With all three films having been remastered from the best surviving film elements and appearing here alongside a wealth of supplementary material, American Horror Project Volume Two offers up yet another fascinating and blood-chilling foray into the deepest, darkest corners of stars-and-stripes terror. 3-DISC SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS 2K restorations from original film elements High Definition Blu-ray presentation Original uncompressed PCM mono audio English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Reversible sleeves featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by The Twins of Evil DREAM NO EVIL Filmed appreciation by Stephen Thrower Audio commentary with Kat Ellinger and Samm Deighan Hollywood After Dark: The Early Films of John Hayes, 1959-1971 video essay by Stephen Thrower looking at Hayes' filmography leading up to Dream No Evil Writer Chris Poggiali on the prodigious career of celebrated character actor Edmond O'Brien Excerpts from an audio interview with actress Rue McClanahan (The Golden Girls) discussing her many cinematic collaborations with director John Hayes DARK AUGUST Filmed appreciation by Stephen Thrower Audio commentary with writer-director Martin Goldman On-camera interview with Martin Goldman On-camera interview with producer Marianne Kanter The Hills Are Alive: Dark August and Vermont Folk Horror author and artist Stephen R.

TEN YEARS AGO, HE CHANGED THE FACE OF HALLOWEEN. TONIGHT, HE'S BACK. A decade ago, he butchered 16 people trying to get to his sister. He was shot and incinerated, but still the entity that Dr. Sam Loomis (the legendary Donald Pleasence) calls Evil on two legs would not die. Tonight, Michael Myers has come home again to kill! This time, Michael returns to Haddonfield for Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris of HALLOWEEN 5 and THE LAST BOY SCOUT) the orphaned daughter of Laurie Strode and her babysitter Rachel (Ellie Cornell of HALLOWEEN 5 and HOUSE OF THE DEAD).

John Carpenter's malevolent monster Michael Myers escapes from years of comatose incarnation while being transported from a maximum security institution. Myers carves his way to Haddonfield for Halloween - the original setting of Michael's massacre leaving a bloody trail of carnage and corpses. Only one man knows the true horrors of this mad man - Dr Loomis (Donald Pleasence) who also returns to Haddonfield to do battle once again with the devil incarnate. But Dr Loomis knows only too well it will be almost impossible to outwit the skill and cunning of Michael Myers.
You can't kill the bogeyman", the children insist to a terrorised Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in the original Halloween. How right they are. Laurie is gone, but guess who's back in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers? Acting as if the third entry never existed, this instalment picks up 10 years after the original, with mad maniac Myers in a coma and moved to a new facility. But wouldn't you know it that as soon as a loose-lipped orderly lets slip that Myers has a surviving niece he springs back into action, leaving a bloody trail of corpses on the road to Haddonfield. Donald Pleasance returns as Dr Loomis, scarred and crippled from his last encounter with Myers and seething with a fanatical zeal to stop the freak from repeating his previous rampage. Pleasance is the best thing about the film as an ageing hero seemingly on the verge of madness who drags a bum leg in his manic rush to save little orphan Jamie (Danielle Harris), the 10-year-old waif terrorised by her homicidal uncle. Director Dwight Little has managed a generic if professional slasher picture, rife with improbabilities and dominated by a killer whose superhuman powers reach near-mystical dimensions, but he delivers the goods: shocks, stabs and cold, cruel killings. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
