Title number 043 on our Black Label

101 Films presents gothic horror Castle Freak (1995) on Blu-ray. Directed by the late Stuart Gordon, this chilling tale is one of his many films inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Best known for his distinctive contributions to cult horror and sci-fi throughout the '80s and '90s - with genre classics such as Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dolls ? Gordon returned to familiar territory with Castle Freak, a lesser-known gem that reunited him with frequent collaborator and producer Charles Band.

John Reilly, (Jeffrey Combs - Re-Animator), his wife Susan (Barbara Crampton - Re Animator, The Young and the Restless) and their daughter come face to face with terror when they travel to Italy to move into a castle they have inherited. Unbeknownst to them, their new home harbours a grotesquely disfigured and tortured man who has been imprisoned for decades. When mutilated bodies start turning up, John must uncover the Reilly family's dark secret to save his wife and child from the sadistic being.

I'm guessing it's a rights issue with those, but they've added three new interviews and a fairly extensive booklet which is reasonable compensation

if it was a new scan of the film then i would buy it but its the same scan as the 88films release because if it was a new scan of the film then they would have said.

NEW TO THE BLACK LABEL

101 Films presents cult mannequin horror Tourist Trap (1979).

A group of unsuspecting young travellers stumble upon ?Slausen?s Lost Oasis,? an eerie, long-abandoned wax museum hidden deep in the countryside. What begins as an innocent detour soon turns into a nightmarish trap, as they discover the sinister secrets lurking within its crumbling walls. Presiding over this grotesque sideshow is the enigmatic Mr. Slausen, a seemingly harmless caretaker harbouring a terrifying obsession. As the night unfolds, the travellers are plunged into macabre and sordid chambers of horror where wax figures come to life, and escape is nothing more than an illusion.

This limited edition version comes packaged in a slipcase with iconic original poster artwork, and is accompanied by a booklet with new writing on the film; Everybody Hates a Tourist: David Schmoeller's Tourist Trap Revisited by Mat Colegate and Puppet Master or Reluctant Mogul: The Charles Band Empire by Jon Towlson.

The Remastered (from OCN) version put out by Full Moon is listed as 90 mins on Bluray.com. This version from 101 is listed as 89m 33s by BBFC, which suggests it's the same version, but worth waiting for confirmation I guess.

TOURIST TRAP is a brilliantly creepy little movie.
I have the previous release, but if this is the longer version, I?ll certainly buy it.

I was also very pleased to see it released and have already placed a pre-order.
