Los Angeles, CA – There’s a plethora of horror films from around the world, and BCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, is importing them and creating the “Crypt of Terror” Double Feature series. Each double feature DVD will include two films from a particular country. The first two “Crypt of Terror” releases, “Night of the Bloody Apes”/”Curse of the Doll People” and “Cemetery of Terror”/”Grave Robbers,” are from Mexico, and will be available on August 8th.
Night of the Bloody Apes
An injured female wrestler is taken to a hospital, unaware that a doctor, trying to save his son, Julio, is planning an ape-to-human transplant at the same hospital. After what the doctor believes is a successful operation, Julio’s head transforms into that of an ape, and he violently escapes the hospital. The doctor tracks down his son, brings him back to the hospital, and must urgently replace the ape heart with one from a human. Will the heart of a female wrestler be the cure for this newly-made savage beast?
“Night of the Bloody Apes” is presented in Spanish with optional English subtitles, and also offers an English dubbed track. Bonus features include: gory outtakes, trailers and TV spots.
Curse of the Doll People
An archaeologist group travels to the ancient grounds of the Coombas, and discovers a sacred idol. The keeper of the grounds, feeling his land was desecrated, puts a curse on the men, who travel home to find out if the curse is real or just a myth.
With five minutes to go before the supposed midnight that the curse is supposed to take effect, the men feel safe, and relieved. But at the stroke of midnight, one of the men succumbs to a seizure, and before long, a minion of zombie dolls begins stalking the group, seeking revenge. One by one, the archaeologists are pricked by their attackers, turning them into zombie dolls.
“Curse of the Doll People” is available in Spanish with optional English subtitles, and also features an English dubbed track.
Cemetery of Terror
The deceased son of Devlon, a Satanic serial killer, becomes the butt of a prank by a group of medical students. After stealing the boy’s body, the students perform a Black Mass as a means of raising Devlon from the dead. When nothing happens, the students leave the body and head to a nearby house to party.
To the students’ surprise, their little ritual worked, and now Devlon is looking to crash their party, and teach these pre-meds a lesson they won’t soon forget.
“”Cemetery of Terror” is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
Grave Robbers
Four teenagers on a camping trip discover an ornate tomb housing the corpse of an executed Satanist from the Inquisition. The tomb, once used for Satanic rituals and inquisition torture, houses a fortune in gold and jewelry. The teens revel in their new found wealth, only to realize that they have unleashed the Satanist zombie, who is hell bent on claiming his treasure.
“Grave Robbers” is presented in Spanish, with English subtitles.
