Lucio Fulci's trio of his US & UK based films released together for the 1st time ever in this must-have Godfather of Gore definitive collector's set. Titles Comprise: New York Ripper: Do you like your horror films nice 'n' nasty? Then brace yourself for this notorious 1982 gem of depravity that is every bit as vile and stylishly shocking as you've been led to believe. Directed by the old scalp-ripper himself Lucio Fulci he's in full flesh tearing form as the cops of New York hunt down a psychopath with a penchant for slicing his victims to the bone but not before he... has his fun with them first... Quack! Quack! Quack! If you've recently revisited old video nasties only to be disappointed then this is the ultimate sex 'n' slash fest to test your nerve with a realistic sadistic streak that will have you begging for mercy! Manhattan Baby: From Lucio Fulci the director of New York Ripper comes his utterly bizarre descent into a surreal world of creepy kids Egyptology flesh tearing birds walls that bleed creepy tombs and much more! A succinct plot synopsis is frankly near impossible but here goes: There's a possessed Egyptian amulet what looks like a gate to hell and rip-off moments from a variety of classic genre films including The Exorcist The Awakening The Birds The Omen and most notably Rosemary's Baby. Despite the dubious plotting Fulci was at the height of his powers when he made this highly atmospheric and stunningly shot horror film that makes up in classic set pieces and pierced eyeballs what it lacks in coherence! Black Cat: We all know director Lucio Fulci for his depraved nasties like New York Ripper but if you're wondering why in France he's held in the same esteem as Hitchcock then the deliciously eerie The Black Cat is a great place to start. Inspired by the Edgar Allen Poe tale this black cat is a malevolent moggy that stalks through a sleepy English town appearing to fulfil the murderous wishes of its owner the sinister psychic medium Professor Miles (Patrick Magee in fine deranged form). What Professor Miles has not reckoned on is his cat turning him into the next mouse to slowly kill! High on gothic atmospheric thanks to the moody cinematography of Sergio Salvati this unusual Fulci tale of claustrophobic terror is a little seen gem that compares to the best output of the Hammer and Amicus studios.

Triple bill of sex, violence and insanity from 'godfather of gore' Lucio Fulci. 'New York Ripper' (1982) tells the twisted tale of a serial killer on the loose in the Big Apple. When a woman's body is discovered on the the banks of the Hudson, the subsequent post-mortem reveals that she was most definitely killed by a maniac and the police begin to worry that he might strike again. Sure enough, it's not long before a body is discovered on a ferry, and then another in a nightclub, but with clues thin on the ground, the police are no closer to catching the culprit. However, when the next victim manages to escapes the clutches of her assailant, a vital clue is revealed: the killer is missing two fingers... 'Manhattan Baby' (1982) stars Christopher Connelly as an archaeologist who desecrates the tomb of a 5,000-year-old god of cruelty and evil, and is temporarily blinded by lasers from a blue stone in the wall. Meanwhile, a sightless old woman gives his daughter, Susie (Brigitta Boccoli), an identical stone - the Evil Eye - in a town square. Back in New York, Susie's eyes start glowing blue as she plays with her brother, Tommy (Giovanni Frezza), and her babysitter, Jamie Lee (Cinzia De Ponti). After that, everything goes haywire. Based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe, 'The Black Cat' (1981) is set in a quaint English village where an embittered recluse, together with a powerful black cat, commits a series of grisly murders.
