While Blu-Ray gets cheaper and standard DVDs become coasters on out coffee tables. There are still many great horror films that never even made it to our DVD shelves. First off is one of my childhood favorites called Sleepy Hollow with Jeff Goldblum and Dick Butkus. I know this has been remade before by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp, but this Washington Irving adaptation has a place in my heart and should be on DVD.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 1980
BLOOD BEACH, 1981
Another campy film from a post-Jaws era about a creature under the sandy beaches of California sucking down unsuspecting beach-goers into the sand. It stars John Saxon from the classic Black Christmas and Burt Young from the Rocky films. Who knows what you'll find under the beach.
GARGOYLES, 1972
This is not your kiddie Disney-esque film about gargoyles on church tops saving the day. Oh no! This is a live action film about gargoyles trying to save their race from extinction by taking a human woman captive for their leader when his mate is hit on the highway by a passing 18-wheeler. It has a Roger Corman feel to it with impressively surreal effects for it's time and monster make-up that made me keep the nightlight on for months.
