Blue Underground Presents the ‘Killer Thrillers Collection’
On July 26th Blue Underground will be releasing a 3-disc collection of films on Blu-ray entitled the Killer Thrillers Collection. The three films making the set are Baba Yaga, Night Train Murders and Strip Nude for your Killer. This is a re-release of sorts. All three films have previously been released by Blue Underground on Blu-ray but they are now packaging them together in one set. You may recall they did something similar last year when they released The Dario Argento Collection and The Lucio Fulci Collection, both of which made my Best Blu-ray Releases of 2015 List.
If you already own these film from Blue Underground on Blu-ray, then there will be no point in picking this up. The films are exactly the same, including the same special features (of which there are plenty!), they’re just now packaged together. If you don’t own the films, however, this set could be perfect for you! The list price on this set is $39.98, but I am pretty confident in saying places like Amazon and Target will have this for quite a bit cheaper once it becomes available for pre-order. Both Amazon and Target currently have the Fulcio and Argento collections at about $23. Assuming retailers carry this new set at that same price point, this will be a hell of a deal.
For some bizarre reason that I can’t possibly explain I currently own none of these movies. So I’m pretty stoked about this set! Check out the full details below!
BABA YAGA:
Legendary sex symbol Carroll Baker stars as a mysterious sorceress with an undying hunger for sensual ecstasy and unspeakable torture. But when she casts a spell over a beautiful young fashion photographer (the gorgeous Isabelle De Funès), Milan’s most luscious models are sucked into a nightmare world of lesbian seduction and shocking sadism. Are these carnal crimes the result of one woman’s forbidden fantasies or is this the depraved curse of the devil witch known as BABA YAGA?BABA YAGA Extras:

It was released as SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT, NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT, and TORTURE TRAIN. The ads screamed, “Most movies last less than two hours! This is one of everlasting torment!” It remains one of the most graphically fiendish films in exploitation history, the story of two teenage girls traveling through Europe, forced into a nightmare of sexual assault and sadistic violence.NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS Extras:

1962. Nine-year-old Frankie Scarlatti enjoys a homespun childhood in a rustic Western New York town. The entire community gets into the spirit of Halloween, but then two bullies prank Frankie by locking him in his school cloakroom, leaving him trapped for the night. Alone and afraid, his slumber is interrupted when the ghost of a little girl appears, and Frankie witnesses the specter of her murder by an unseen assailant. Later, while recovering at home, the girl’s ghost appears to him again. With help from his older brother, Frankie begins investigating the circumstances of her death. He soon discovers that her murder was one of several unsolved crimes connected to a local child-killer. As the town’s bucolic veneer fades and long-buried secrets and tensions bubble to the surface, all of the clues to the mystery seem to point towards a huge mansion inhabited by a reclusive woman known as “The Lady in White.”
A nostalgia-driven ghost story wrapped within an intricate murder mystery and coming-of-age drama, writer-director-composer Frank LaLoggia’s passion project Lady in White remains one of the most beautiful and original American horror films of the 1980s. Featuring acclaimed actors Alex Rocco (The Godfather), Len Cariou (Executive Decision), and Sydney Lassick (Carrie, The Unseen), it boasts the first starring role by Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks, Inception) as well as breathtaking photography by Academy Award® winner Russell Carpenter (True Lies, The Lawnmower Man). Vinegar Syndrome is honored to bring this genre masterpiece to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and presented in three versions: its pre-release director’s cut, its extended home-video version, and its original theatrical version, along with an abundance of both new and archival extras.
Paul Lê wrote here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2023, “Over the years, fans have described this film as gateway horror, but they liken it more to The Watcher in the Woods than, say, Hocus Pocus or Casper. There are chilling moments that warrant its PG-13 rating.”
