Tod Slaughter given the 4K treatment... I could never have imagined... :lol:

I don't know why they bothered.

He's the worst 'name' actor i've ever come across. Crimes at the Dark House, Murder in the Red Barn, Sweeney Todd - all utter rubbish.

I should lap these movies up being a Gothic horror fan but he ruins them all with his terrible over acting. It's as if he thinks he's in a silent film the way he 'acts'. Somebody should have said that you don't need to act like that when you can use words to convey emotions.

:lol: he is an acquired taste but the films themselves are quite lurid for the time and that gets me through the haminess.

'Two Mules for Sister Sara' (1970)

Release date: October 27

"From Don Siegel, the legendary director of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Coogan’s Bluff, Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick, The Shootist and Escape from Alcatraz, comes this classic western starring screen legends Clint Eastwood (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, High Plains Drifter) and Shirley MacLaine (Sweet Charity, Irma La Douce).

Eastwood is a hard-hitting drifter who rides into town and single-handedly rescues a local nun (MacLaine) from a gang of bandits. After meeting a band of Mexican revolutionaries bent on resisting the French occupation of Mexico, the cowboy and Sister Sara decide to join forces with the freedom fighters and set off on a deadly mission to capture the enemy’s garrison. But along the way, a steamy romance develops between them when the soft-spoken hero discovers the nun is not what she seems. Ending with a violent climax at the well-protected fort, this action-packed western classic cemented Eastwood’s status as a true cinematic superstar.

Featuring a masterful score by the great Ennio Morricone (A Fistful of Dollars)."

Kino October 2020 line-up

I've heard about Curse of the Undead before but never seen it. A bit of a curio really, is it the first ever horror western?

So Kino can manage four new horror releases for October. And all released on dvd as well as blu.

To be fair Dem, Kino is a much bigger outfit than Arrow.

There were several poverty row western/horror hybrids in the 30s and 40s that were along the lines of phantom outlaws, haunted mines and ranches that turned out to be fronts for criminal activity. Even John Wayne appeared in one called Haunted Gold.

I think Curse of the Undead was the first with overtly supernatural elements

Is it any good though?
