4. Phantasm (Full Frame)

VHS, R, 90 minutes, MGM

Enter the stunning and surreal world of "Phantasm" - where nothing is as it seems and every move you make could lead to a fate worse than death! Writer/director Don Coscarelli ("The Beastmaster") delivers this horror/cult favorite that Newsweek calls "off-the-wall, scary [and] marvelous." 13-year-old Mike Pearson (Michael Baldwin) had always thought that the Morningside cemetery was creepy, but when he sees a body being taken away from a grave by an undertaker with superhuman strength, he decides to investigate. What he encounters in Morningside's white-marbled halls include a grisly murder - by a flying metal sphere with a penchant for blood - an evil Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) whose clutching fingers move independently of his hand, and a horde of cloaked mini-monsters who want Mike as one of their own! Recruiting his older brother Jody (Bill Thornbury) and friend (Reggie Bannister) to help, Mike must battle sinister otherworldly forces in an attempt to avert a supernatural plot to enslave him, his friends - and in fact, his whole town! With "all manner of eerie and shocking special effects" (Los Angeles Times) that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, and some twists and turns that are truly shocking, Phantasm "will scare [and] delight" (Variety) anyone who dares to keep their eyes open 'til its smashing (literally) finish!.

5. Dr. Phibes Rises Again

VHS, PG, 88 minutes, MGM

"That bizarre evil genius, Dr. Phibes, abominable Dr. Phibes, is back with all his old diabolical deviltry" (Variety). This sequel to "The Abominable Dr. Phibes," again features Vincent Price "as one of his most perfect horror villains in his long list of evil-doers" (The Hollywood Reporter). The eminent Dr. Phibes awakens from a decade of suspended animation and heads to Egypt with his mute aide-de-camp Vulnavia and the corpse of his dead wife. To resurrect his spouse, Phibes gets up to his usual, diabolical tricks: cleverly murdering people in strange and heinous ways to invoke a magical incantation. But once he is in the tomb of the dead Pharaohs, the good doctor uncovers that his pursuit of an after-life may be foiled by his nemesis who wants to end the reign of this sadistic surgeon of gore. Digital Video Transfer, 1972.
