Scream of the Demon Lover

Directed by José Luis Merino.

Starring Erna Schürer.

IMDB

A great double-feature trailer from two obscure early-70's cheapie horror films.

Scream of the Demon Lover was a European film called Ivanna brought into American distribution by Roger Corman's New World Pictures and Velvet Vampire is a largely forgotten American film produced by Charles Swartz who was the head of production at Corman's company.

I'm not sure of the origins of this trailer but seeing that they were both Corman entities, these two films were probably screened back to back at some drive-ins at the time.

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970)

Clip: "Trapped"

Soundtrack: Ennio Morricone

Dario Argento's first film is a masterpiece of the giallo genre and is in my top 5 movies of all-time.

This wasn't the first giallo (that distinction belongs to Mario Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much from 1963) but it set the template for the genre that would boom in the following years.

Also features a memorable score from Ennio Morricone.

This has just been released on Blu Ray by Blue Underground.

Directed by Dario Argento.

Starring Tony Musante, Suzy Kendall and Mario Adorf
