The Flesh and Blood Show: The Horror Films of Pete Walker (Blu-ray Deluxe Hardbox Edition) (88 Films) [UK]
- Thread starter paulboland
- Start date
Celebrated as the ‘Godfather of British Horror’, Pete Walker is one of the most controversial exploitation filmmakers of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Graduating from saucy sex comedies and gangland dramas, Walker finally found tabloid infamy making gore-splattered horror movies (or “terror movies” as he preferred to call them). His first X-rated thriller Die Screaming, Marianne shocked audiences, and subsequent films like House of Whipcord established his reputation for sadistic and bloody horror, cementing his status as the biggest cult British filmmaker of his generation.
Now for the very first time, Walker’s seventies’ horror movies are collected on Blu-ray in this terrifying new box-set, starring a host of famous faces: Robin Askwith (Horror Hospital), Stephanie Beacham (Inseminoid), Ann Michelle (Virgin Witch), Susan Penhaligon (The Uncanny), Luan Peter (Hammer’s Lust for a Vampire) and his favourite actress, and omnipresent ‘scary old lady’, Sheila Keith.
The Pete Walker Heritage Collection brings together
Die Screaming, Marianne (1971)
The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)
House of Whipcord (1974)
Frightmare (1974)
House of Mortal Sin (1976)
Schizo (1977)
The Comeback (1978)
All presented here in brand new HD restorations, and featuring a scary array of exclusive extras, including brand-new interviews with Walker himself.
