Seized and confiscated under the Obscene Publications Act in the UK during the Video Nasty panic of the 1980s, Mansion of the Doomed (aka The Eyes of Doctor Chaney & House of Blood and known variously as The Terror of Doctor Chaney and Massacre Mansion in the UK) was the first horror film from Charles Band's Full Moon Features, the legendary B-movie studio that endeavoured to create low-budget horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films while retaining a somewhat "big-budget" feel, which led to the creation of cult classics like Trancers, Puppet Master and Demonic Toys.
