About this product
The legendary Roger Corman is known for low budget, cult classics that provide a lasting impression. Showcased here are three of Corman's iconic works, beautifully restored in high definition from 35mm archival film elements. A Bucket of Blood (1959), Dementia 13 (1963), and The Terror (1963) are true Corman classics with reused sets, crew, and actors. A Bucket of Blood tells the story of Walter Paisley who, after accidentally killing his landlady's cat and covering the body in plaster to hide the evidence, is acclaimed as a brilliant sculptor. Dementia 13 centers on the dysfunctional Haloran family, who have converged at Haloran Castle to enact a morbid ritual in remembrance of Lady Haloran's deceased daughter, Kathleen. Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff star in The Terror - both obsessed with the ghostly apparition of a young woman in 18th century France. All three titles in this 3 Disc Collection are presented in their original theatrical aspect ratio.
