Reissues

The Alice Howell Collection (DVD)
Alice Howell was one of the great female clowns of the silent screen and starred in her own very popular series of comedy shorts for different studios from 1915-1925.

Alice Howell is relatively unknown today, as a majority of her films are lost. This two-disc DVD set presents, for the first time, a comprehensive selection of Howell’s surviving comedies for fans of classic and silent film comedy to discover and enjoy.

Celebrate 20 years of Mike Mingnola’s ground-breaking comic book with the double feature of Hellboy AnimatedSword of Storms and Blood & Iron, from visionary Guillermo Del Toro. This limited edition comes with an exclusive mini comic that includes the full story of The Chapel of Moloch.

Torment (DVD)
A story of two brothers, both writers of crime novels, one a fine, upstanding gentleman and the other a moody, neurotic, psychopath. The other is determined to create a “faked” version of a perfect crime he intends to commit when an ex-convict visits them. They are both in love with their shared-stenographer-secretary.
