Two-Disc Collection Packed With Special Features, Including Bonus Film The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) and Film Commentary by Star Jonathan Haze
The duality of Roger Corman is on display, showcasing his spooky gothic side with The Terror (1963) — marking the 60th anniversary of its release this year — and his more whimsical side with The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) in this double-feature, special-edition, two-disc, collector’s set, on Blu-ray and DVD 12th December 2023 from Film Masters.

Curiosity leads Lt. Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson) to the castle of Baron Von Leppe (Boris Karloff), where he notices a painting of the Baron’s late wife Ilsa, who looks identical to the ghostly woman.

Jack Nicholson’s daughter Tessa Gourin is speaking out about her estranged relationship with her famous father.
Since the 28-year-old actress was young, her mother, actress Jennine Gourin, told her “not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad,” Gourin recently told The Daily Beast.
“I knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annie’s,” she told the publication, referring to the 1932 film “Little Orphan Annie”.
Gourin claimed that, as a child, Nicholson, who has never publicly acknowledged her as his daughter, “wasn’t interested” in having a relationship with her. While she refused to go into detail about her childhood, she did mention that her father, now 85, paid for her early education.

It reaches from the grave to re-live the horror, the terror! More destructive! More terrifying!” (1958 ad campaign for Frankenstein’s Daughter.)-
Promises, promises. Even the most forgiving fans of low-budget 1950s horror concede Richard E. Cunha’s Frankenstein’s Daughter is a mess. It’s the sort of film where everything seems off-kilter: the script, the acting, the monster, the directing and flat lighting… well, everything, really. Ironically, this reality is also, perversely, the film’s single saving grace. If you go into Frankenstein’s Daughter with such knowledge aforethought and low-expectations, the resulting film – brought in on a budget of 60,000 - is actually pretty entertaining, if only in a manner of speaking.
In 1958 one New York tabloid chastised Manhattan’s Mayfair Theater for plummeting “to an all-time low in booking not one, but two, of the year’s worst films.

The Film Detective continues to thrill us with a couple of excellent cult classics. Frankenstein’s Daughter is a film that had been denied a great deal of exposure to fans of the strange and macabre. For many, it’s a title that has teased us for decades, with a still or a lobby card appearing once in a while by way of a horror book or a specialist periodical, so it is certainly welcome. It is typically what one would expect from this lush 1950s period. An incredibly low-budget affair, these films would often be produced for around $60,000, but the filmmakers certainly knew how to squeeze every ounce out of that budget. If anything, it ignited creativity and provided a lesson in how to make the most of the limited resources that were available to them.
Frankenstein’s Daughter is a fine example of that.

Richard Cunha’s third of four horror item for Astor Pictures is perhaps the most marketable: in 1958 almost anything with the name Dracula or Frankenstein could get a big release. The Film Detective’s new disc (remastered from a 4K scan) shows the picture at its absolute best and confirms Cunha as a decent director. The monsters are dire but most of the acting is rather good: Sandra Knight, Donald Murphy, Wolfe Barzell and Sally Todd in particular. It’s core nostalgia for monster fans, and much gorier than we remembered.

When you get Roger Corman and Vince Price together you tend to get a stylised horror film that is hard not to love. While Tower of London may not be their best collaboration, it is an interesting take on Shakespeare’s play of the nefarious King who killed his way to the top…
Corman’s film though is a more mix-and-match tale for Richard III which pulls in Macbeth and Hamlet to make the tale much more ghoulish. Featuring ghosts that haunt Vincent Price’s Richard of Gloucester it is very clear that Price relishes the prospect of taking on a Shakespearian role, but hams it up for all it is worth.

This four-feature set is the weirdest cinematic treasure box of the year, a sort of anti-matter film school. Three of the films are derived from a single Yugoslavian picture rejected by Roger Corman. His acolytes Jack Hill and Stephanie Rothman proceeded to add serial killings, supernatural hauntings, a goofy vampire, and an ending that could be called 'Zombies In The Wax Museum.' Tim Lucas tells the whole story in a fascinating feature-length extra docu.

Let's hope Jack Nicholson has a pleasant birthday on Wednesday, or at least a less disturbing one than the birthday when pal Hunter S. Thompson showed up outside his house, turned on a spotlight, blasted a recording of a pig being eaten alive by bears, fired several rounds from his 9mm pistol, and (when the terrified actor and his kids refused to open the door) left an elk's heart on the doorstep.
Nicholson turns 78 on April 22, and even though he hasn't been in a movie for five years, he still looms large in our collective imaginations. Younger viewers know him from his flamboyant performances in "The Departed," "The Bucket List," "Something's Gotta Give," and "Anger Management," but his older films remain ubiquitous on TV as well, including "As Good as It Gets," "A Few Good Men," "Batman," "The Witches of Eastwick," "Terms of Endearment," "The Shining," and "Chinatown."

Good looks run in the Nicholson family!Jack Nicholson stepped out with his gorgeous daughter Lorraine Nicholson at Taschen and David Bailey's "It's Just A Shot Away: The Rolling Stones In Photographs" Exhibit in Los Angeles on Saturday.The 24-year-old aspiring actress looked lovely in a white lace dress with a knit cardigan as she stood with her famous father. The 77-year-old actor looked dapper in a gray collared shirt under a printed blazer and his trademark sunglasses. The Brown University graduate has been pursuing an acting career, appearing in 2004's "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," 2011's "Soul Surfer" and the upcoming "Hacker." Lorraine is Nicholson's daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Broussard. The estranged couple also has a son, 22-year-old Raymond. Jack and Ray recently were photographed sitting courtside at the Lakers game and the resemblance was striking. This kid is definitely the spitting image of his handsome dad.

Frankenstein’s monster has fought werewolves, vampires, cowboys, masked wrestlers, and rubber suited hellbeasts. Seriously.
Along with Dracula, the most enduring horror icon of horror fiction is certainly Frankenstein’s Monster. When Boris Karloff starred in Universal’s Frankenstein (1931), directed by the great James Whale, audiences were riveted (ahem) by the tale of science gone mad. Karloff’s portrayal of the monster transcended the boundaries of the genre and became one of the most enduring images in the history of film.
Universal didn't stop there, delivering sequel after sequel, such as 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein (considered by many to be the most complete horror movie ever made), Son of Frankenstein (1939), Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), where Karloff was replaced by Lon Chaney Jr., the immortal 1942 monster mash-up Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man starring Bela Lugosi as the Monster, and finally, House of Frankenstein, a battle between all the marquee Universal monster characters.

It’s rare when the story behind the film is more famous and interesting than the actual film, but Roger Corman’s The Terror is one of those films. Famous for being shot on leftover film sets from other American International Pictures film sets and for having at least 5 different directors throughout shooting, The Terror has also had the pleasure of being released with several different titles (Lady of the Shadows, The Castle of Terror and The Haunting).
