Hercules in the Haunted World DVD (Fantoma) (NTSC Region 1)
Hercules (Reg Park) must fight a monster made of stone, retrieve a golden apple from the tree of Hesperides, and brave the horrors of Hades to rescue his beloved from the clutches of the evil Lyco (Christopher Lee). Oracles, witches, and vampires abound in this delirious blend of sword and sandal adventure, horror, and psychedelia. Maestro Mario Bava's first color film is awash in a sea of primary hues, creepy atmosphere, and eye-popping imagery. Fantoma is very proud to present the original European cut of this widescreen wonder for the first time in the U.S.

George's Island

George's Island

1991, Starring Nathaniel Moreau, Sheila McCarthy, Maury Chaykin, Ian Bannen. Directed by Paul Donovan (Salter).

After wowing audiences with early exploitation efforts like Siege and Def-Con 4, East coast filmmaker Paul Donovan took on a wide variety of film projects, dabbling in everything from the erotic thriller Tomcat to the ill-received tax shelter farce Paint Cans. One of the most unlikely entries on his resume, the 1991 kiddie Halloween film George's Island, remains one his more entertaining and enduring films, a firmly Canadian NFB co-production that livens up an otherwise run-of-the-mill adoption story with spooky effects and wild tales of buried pirate booty.
