American Horror Project: Volume 1

A teenage girl moves with her parents into a decrepit amusement park whose workforce includes the mysterious Malatesta, his vampiric aide Mr. Blood, a transvestite fortune teller, a dwarf who speaks in verse, and some cannibalistic carnies who snack on the unlucky customers while watching old horror movies! Filmed at Pennsylvania's old Willow Grove Park, the bizarre indie shocker "Malatesta's Carnival of Blood" (1973) stars Janine Carazo, Jerome Dempsey, and a pre-"Fantasy Island" Hervé Villechaize. Six-disc set also includes "The Premonition" (1976) and "The Witch Who Came from the Sea." 4 1/4 hrs. total. Soundtrack: English; bonus shorts; interviews; photo gallery; theatrical trailers; TV spots; more.
