From the birth of cinema to the enduring influence of macabre horror, Severin Films presents its most monumental collection to date: Spanning 12 discs with 80+ hours of combined content, MORBID PLEASURES brings together more than 60 films dating from 1895 to 2025 – many on home video for the first time ever – including rare and rediscovered silent films with new scores by Steven Severin (Siouxsie and the Banshees), David J (Bauhaus, Love And Rockets) & Tim Newman, Stephen Thrower (Coil) and renowned composers Michael D. Mortilla and Neil Brand, plus dozens of hours of new & archival Special Features that explore virtually every historic aspect of gruesome entertainment.
At its heart is David Gregory’s award-winning feature documentary THEATRE OF HORRORS: THE SORDID STORY OF PARIS’ GRAND GUIGNOL which examines the infamous Parisian theater and its still-graphic impact on popular culture. The collection also shines a long overdue spotlight on ‘The Most Assassinated Woman In The World’ Paula Maxa as well as filmmakers that include Fred Paul, Maurice Tourneur, Robert Hossein and Vernon Sewell, and traces the theater’s gore-fueled influence on modern cinema, the true crime phenomenon and even live heavy metal, featuring new interviews with Alice Cooper, GWAR and the W.A.S.P. ‘Rack Girls’.
Also included is the new 350-page full-color book Blood, Sweat & Sperm: The Visceral Horrors of The Grand Guignol featuring writings by André Breton, Richard J. Hand, Aleister Crowley, André de Lorde, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alfred Binet, Maxa and more.
Note: Disc 12 is a strictly Limited Edition Bonus Disc featuring Herschell Gordon Lewis’ landmark 1970 film THE WIZARD OF GORE as well as the long-out-of-print 2007 remake starring Brad Dourif, Bijou Phillips and Crispin Glover, directed by Jeremy Kasten.
