'The Houses of Doom' - Limited edition 4 Blu-Ray / 2 CD box set pre-order available from Cauldron Films direct - ?76:00

Release date: July

"Enter The Houses of Doom ?. a 4 film horror series that was made for Italian television in 1989, but things didn?t quite turn out "safe for TV" when producers enlisted cinematic madmen Lucio Fulci and Umberto Lenzi to direct! Far too gory and violent for television and essentially shelved until home video many years later, Cauldron Films is proud to release all 4 films (The House of Clocks & The Sweet House of Horrors directed by Lucio Fulci and The House of Lost Souls & The House of Witchcraft directed by Umberto Lenzi), collected on Blu-ray for the first time in a 6 disc set (4 Blu-rays / 2 CD soundtracks) fully uncut and restored from 2K scans of the film negatives, housed in a rigid outer box with 4 folded posters!"

Disc 1 (Blu-ray): The House of Clocks

"Three young thieves looking for a big score set their sights on the most lavish house they can find. Little do they know that this house and its inhabitants have murderous impulses of their own. Will they make it out alive? Only time will tell?

This bloody and violent tale of time and revenge is directed by Lucio Fulci (Zombie) and stars Keith Van Hoven (Black Demons), Karina Huff (The Black Cat), Paolo Paoloni (Cannibal Holocaust), Carla Cassola (The Sect), Bettine Milne (The Avengers TV series) and Al Cliver (The Beyond) with soundtrack by Vince Tempera (The Psychic)
