Dementia 13/Shock/Black Dragons DVD

Dementia 13
Francis Ford Coppola's directorial debut, produced by horror king Roger Corman, begins with the Haloran family gathering to enact a morbid ritual to memorialise the death of a drowned sibling. While various family members plot and connive, an axe murderer is terrorizing the grounds. Slowly, the family members become increasingly suspicious of each other, as well as of the ghosts that haunt the castle.

Shock
Dr. Cross (Vincent Price), a psychiatrist, is treating a young woman, Janet Stewart (Anabel Shaw), who is in a coma-state brought on when she saw a murder from her balcony. As she comes out of her shock, she recognizes Dr. Cross as the killer. When he realises this he diagnoses delusion and recommends that he take her to his sanitarium. A place that soon becomes a real chamber of horrors.

Black Dragons
A World War II Nazi plastic surgeon, Doctor Melcher, (Bela Lugosi), travels to Japan to perform face-lifts on Japanese spies, making them appear as prominent American industrialists. After the doctor is double-crossed by his masters and almost killed, he plans an elaborate revenge plot involving the murders of his impostors that have taken the place of their American look-alikes.
