The Monster of Piedras Blancas to Decapitate on Blu-ray and DVD with The Horrible Dr. Hichcock

One of my FAVORITE old monster movies, The Monster of Piedras Blancas, is getting set to make its disc debut on Blu-ray and DVD, and we’re elated to bring you the news. Bless you, Olive Films!

The Monster of Piedras Blancas Release Details:
Starring JEANNE CARMEN (The Devil’s Hand, The Naked Monster, The Three Outlaws), LES TREMAYNE (North by Northwest, The War of the Worlds, Say One for Me), JOHN HARMON (Funny Girl, Monsieur Verdoux, Hitch Hike to Hell), and DON SULLIVAN (The Giant Gila Monster, Teenage Zombies, Paradise Alley), the film is directed by IRVIN BERWICK (Hitch Hike to Hell, Malibu High, The 7th Commandment).

Look for it in stores on September 13th

The sleepy little lighthouse community of Piedras Blancas has a big problem when bodies begin piling up (thankfully there’s the ice room at Kochek’s Store for meats and groceries) and a scale from a thought-to-be-extinct prehistoric amphibian is found nearby. Could this be the work of… The Monster of Piedras Blancas?

For a town photographed in black & white, Piedras Blancas is teeming with colorful characters. There’s Sturges (John Harmon, Monsieur Verdoux), the lighthouse keeper who makes it a ritual to leave food out near a secluded beach cave for, well, something; Lucy (Jeanne Carmen, Born Reckless), Sturges’ zaftig daughter, a free thinker who clearly doesn’t pay attention to daddy’s warnings about skinny dipping near the cave; Lucy’s boyfriend, Fred (Don Sullivan, The Giant Gila Monster), a young man more than willing to keep an eye on Lucy; and the dedicated man of science Dr. Sam Jorgensen (Les Tremayne, The Fortune Cookie), who’s out to solve the mysterious murders. It will become painfully obvious to Sturges (and the unfortunate inhabitants of Piedras Blancas): never miss a feeding!

The Monster of Piedras Blancas, directed by Irvin Berwick (Malibu High), co-stars Forrest Lewis (All That Heaven Allows), Frank Arvidson (The 7th Commandment), and Wayne Berwick (The Naked Monster) and is photographed by Philip Lathrop, two-time Academy Award nominee for Best Cinematography (The Americanization of Emily, Earthquake).

From director Robert Hampton, (Lust of the Vampire) comes The Horrible Dr. Hichcock (L’orrible segreto del Dr. Hichcock), the twisted and terrifying tale of Dr. Bernard Hichcock (Flemyng), whose secret desires and perverse passions lead to the death of his wife, Margaret (Fitzgerald),

Remarrying years later, the doctor’s new bride, Cynthia (Steele), is unaware that her husband intends to use her blood to reanimate the corpse of his dearly departed Margaret.

Scarred For Life

Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)

This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
