A new double-feature disc
containing two of the most obscure SF films from the
heyday of the drive-in! First, PHARAOH's
CURSE centers on an expedition into Egypt's Valley Of The
Kings, where it's members meet horror in the form of a
rapidly-aging youth who is possessed by the mummified
ancient interred within the tomb. ZIVA RODANN plays the
beautiful stranger who leads the archeologists to their
doom, MARK DANA is the hero and DIANE BREWSTER is the lady
in danger. This 1957 black &
white film runs 66 minutes. Next up is the ultra-rare HAND
OF DEATH. Working in his remote desert laboratory,
scientist JOHN AGAR develops a gas he believes will avert
nuclear war. But his science is faulty. Instead this gas
turn him into a horrible bloated monster whose touch means
instant death. Transformed, Agar now looks like The Thing
from FANTASTIC FOUR comics. Returning to the city to get
help from colleague ROY GORDON, Agar accidentally kills
him instead. This puts his beautiful girl friend (PAULA
RAYMOND) and fellow scientist (STEVE DUNN) in mortal
danger. Also in the cast is Joe Besser and young Butch
Patrick (Please note that because HAND OF DEATH is so
rare, no high-quality digital source for this DVD exists,
so there are minor flaws endemic to the original film
source, hence this version is not as perfect as our normal
standard for DVD presentations, but the film is complete
and still highly watchable.) HAND OF DEATH stars JOHN AGAR
