Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Dan Curtis' Gothic Tales (1973-1974), starring Lynn Redgrave, Shane Briant, Megs Jenkins, Charles Aidman, and Jasper Jacob. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 9.
Description: Shot on videotape and originally aired on ABC's late-night series Wide World Mystery, these two features exquisitely demonstrate Dan Curtis' gift for blending 19th-century literature with psychological horror.
The Picture of Dorian Gray (1973)
A petulant young Adonis (Shane Briant) indulges in the most decadent pursuits that 19th-century society can provide. While Dorian seems impervious to age and free of guilt for his transgressions, his moral disintegration is foretold in the portrait hidden in his study.
The Turn of the Screw (1974)
In a haunting and sexually-charged adaption of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, Lynn Redgrave stars as Miss Cubberly, a governess hired to tend two orphans (Jasper Jacob, Eva Griffith) in a country manor. She believes the estate is haunted by the spirits of a former governess and her lover, and her pursuit of the truth leads Miss Cubberly to the brink of insanity.
