It includes all the original cases, covers, inserts and, of course, the disc(s) itself. SYNOPSIS: While groundbreaking director Mario Bava (Black Sunday, Black Sabbath) remains the most well-known purveyor of Italian Gothic horror, many other filmmakers tried their hand at the form throughout the 1960s as part of a hugely prolific and popular cycle. Gothic Fantastico presents four off-the-beaten path titles from this classic period, all of which demonstrate Italy’s ability to expand genre beyond the classic literary monsters that dominated elsewhere. Product DescriptionWhile Mario Bava remains the best-known purveyor of Italian Gothic horror, many other filmmakers tried their hand at the form throughout the 1960s. Gothic Fantastico presents four titles from this classic period, all of which demonstrate Italy’s ability to expand genre beyond the classic literary monsters that dominated elsewhere.Gaslighting abounds in Massimo Pupillo’s Lady Morgan’s Vengeance – a tale of romance and mystery sprinkled with sadism and the supernatural – as newlywed Sir Harold Morgan tries to destroy his bride with help from his sinister maid. Meanwhile, the perverse influence of Poe is used to great effect in Alberto De Martino’s The Blancheville Monster – a tale of family curses and madmen in the attic, as Emilie de Blancheville returns home to her brother Roderic and finds her own family out for her blood. Mino Guerrini’s The Third Eye features an early role for Italian cult icon Franco Nero and a plot that borrows elements from Hitchcock, layered with a whiff of sickness. Finally, Damiano Damiani’s The Witch takes a more avant-garde approach, when a young historian is lured to work for an ageing woman, only to be held captive when he becomes obsessed with her beautiful daughter.Madness, obsession and messed up families are the order of the day in these four lesser-known monochrome gems from Italy’s peak Gothic period, restored in 2K from their original negatives for the first time alongside an array of in-depth extras.LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSNew 2K restorations from the original negativesHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationsOriginal Italian and English front and end titles on The Blancheville Monster, The Third Eye and The WitchOriginal lossless mono Italian soundtracksOriginal lossless mono English soundtracks on The Blancheville Monster, The Third Eye and The WitchOptional English subtitles for the Italian soundtracksOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtracksNew video introductions to each film by Italian film devotee Mark Thompson AshworthImage galleriesLimited edition 80-page book featuring new writing by Roberto Curti, Rob Talbot, Jerome Reuter, Rod Barnett and Kimberly LindbergsFold-out double-sided posterLimited edition packaging with reversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Colin MurdochDISC 1: LADY MORGAN’S VENGEANCENew commentary by author and critic Alexandra Heller-NicholasNew video essay by author and producer Kat EllingerNew video interview with actress Erika BlancNewly edited video interview with actor Paul MullerNewly edited audio interview with director Massimo PupilloThe complete original cineromanzo, published in Suspense in April 1971TrailerDISC 2: THE BLANCHEVILLE MONSTERNew commentary by filmmaker and film historian Paul Anthony NelsonNew video essay by writer and pop culture historian Keith AllisonNew video interview with author and filmmaker Antonio TentoriOpening credits for the US release of the filmTrailerDISC 3: THE THIRD EYENew commentary by author and critic Rachael NisbetNew video essay by author and filmmaker Lindsay HallamNewly edited video interview with actress Erika BlancDISC 4: THE WITCHNew commentary by author and producer Kat EllingerNew video essay by author and academic Miranda CorcoranNew video interview with author and filmmaker Antonio Tentori OUR TERMS AND GUARANTEES We will contact the auction winner(s) via email within 24 hours of auction close with any specific instructions that may be necessary to complete the transaction.
