Severin Films has dated and detailed three upcoming Blu-ray releases: the three-disc set All the Colors of Giallo, the double-feature Ecco a.k.a. The Shocking World (1963) and The Forbidden (1966), and the double-feature Mondo Freudo (1966) and Mondo Bizarro (1966). All three sets available for purchase on January 29.
Ecco/The Forbidden
Synopsis: Let George Sanders guide you through "a world Beyond Yur Dreaming" in Ecco which means "Look, Witness, Observe and Behold" such sights as... The final performance of the Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris...A modern-day Black Mass performed outside London...A Human Pincushion who rams a rapier through his waist and a needle into his throat...And a young lady who castrates reindeer the old-fashioned way - with her teeth! Plus French Lesbians; the incredible Japanese ritual of Saidachi; a muscleman show for bored housewives; and a Parisian contest for "the Most Beautiful Butt." All served with a lush score Official Mondo Composer Riz Ortolani!
Plus: A "Mermaid" Stripper! A Nazi Stripper! "Authentic Virgin Strippers"! A School for Strippers A Swiss Lesbian Club! A Portable Topless Bar! "One of the most fantastic Murder-for-Love cases in French history"! And a violent Nudie-Movie that's actually a Karate-School Commercial! They're just some of The Forbidden scenes on display in this deranged mondo skinflick from the men who made Mondo Freudo and Mondo Bizarro.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Armed with hidden cameras, infra-red film and plenty of naked women, the guys who made House on Bare Mountain go sociologically insane with Mondo Bizarro and Mondo Freudo, two hilariously sex-crazed shockumentaries from the Swinging Sixties that run the gamut from the real to the unreal to the downright surreal! Witness the orgiastic excesses of a Voodoo ritual "held every Thursday night" in the Bahamas, and Puerto Rican black mass performed "just 17 blocks off Times Square!" Gawk as beautiful Asian strippers are whipped and clawed for the amusement of a blasé audience at a Japanese nightclub "dedicated to sadism!" Cringe as a creepy guy named Jack Schwartz proves he can't bleed by lying on a bed of rusty carpentry nails, then gleefully jamming one through his mouth! Marvel at the wild underworld of underwear with a peek at Frederick's of Hollywood naughty mail-order lingerie and big-breasted gals trying on brassieres in a Chicago department store!
Plus: Lesbian prostitutes in London, male hustlers in L.A., topless bars in Tijuana, and even an "Arab slave auction" held right in front of Robot Monster's Bronson Canyon cave! They're all here and more in Mondo Bizarro and Mondo Freudo, the mutant mondo double feature that asks the question: "How do you know what is beyond the Beyond? For that matter, do you even know what is behind the Beyond?"
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Studio description: All the Colors of Giallo features a black-gloved barrage of trailers, featurettes, music and more! There is even a disc devoted to Krimi films, the German cousin to the Giallo. PLUS! Exclusively as part of our Black Friday sale you can pick up a limited edition dual slip case so you can house ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK and ALL THE COLORS OF GIALLO together.
