Product Description THE COUNT YORGA COLLECTION IS A FULL BLOODED FEAST TO DIE FOR! By the end of the 1960s the boom in Old World gothic horror had begun to wane in the face of present day terrors like the Vietnam war. In response, American filmmakers brought horror out of the past and into the present, and the classic movie monsters packed their bags and headed for the New World. COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE was among the first to successfully transpose the classic vampire, cloak and all, to a modern day setting as the Count - played unforgettably by Robert Quarry - arrives in the United States and settles in a Southern California mansion with his mysterious “brides”. A drive-in favorite from the moment it was released, a sequel soon followed. THE RETURN OF COUNT YORGA ups the ante and sees the sardonic Count on the streets of San Francisco, his sights set on an orphanage as a potential source of sustenance. Director Bob Kelljan (Scream Blacula Scream) delivers a one-two punch of classic cult cinema mixing chills, thrills, style, and suspense with a knowing wit that revels in the genre trappings.

Description

The war is over. Nobody won. Only the inhabitants of Australia and the men of the U.S, submarine Sawfish have escaped the nuclear destruction and radiation. Captain Dwight Towers (Gregory Peck) takes the Sawfish on a mission to see if an approaching radiation cloud has weakened, but returns with grim news: The cloud is lethal. With the days and hours dwindling, each person confronts the grim situation in his or her own way. One (Fred Astaire) realizes a lifetime Grand Prix ambition; another (Ava Gardner) reaches out for a chance at love. The final chapter of human history is coming to a close. From acclaimed director Stanley Kramer (JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG) and screenwriter John Paxton (CROSSFIRE), comes this spectacular movie landmark - a film masterpiece with a message that will resonate as long as the world has the power to self-destruct at it's own fingertips. Co-starring Anthony Perkins and Donna Anderson.
