Exploitation shocker Mansion of the Doomed Gets 101 Films Black Label Release

101 Films are set to add exploitation shocker Mansion of the Doomed to it’s ever expanding Black Label Series. This limited-edition release available in the UK for the very first time on Blu-ray in May.

Seized and confiscated under the Obscene Publications Act in the UK during the Video Nasty panic of the 1980s, Mansion of the Doomed (aka The Eyes of Doctor Chaney & House of Blood and known variously as The Terror of Doctor Chaney and Massacre Mansion in the UK) was the first horror film from Charles Band’s Full Moon Features, the legendary B-movie studio that endeavoured to create low-budget horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films while retaining a somewhat “big-budget” feel, which led to the creation of cult classics like Trancers, Puppet Master and Demonic Toys.

Mansion Of The Doomed will have Title 035 on the 101 Films Black Label. This will be a limited-edition release which includes a brand-new documentary produced exclusively for this release on Charles Band’s Full Moon Features.

The cast led by Richard Basehart, with stellar support from Hollywood icon Gloria Grahame and genre film legend Lance Henriksen.

Richard Basehart stars as the maniacal Dr. Leonard Chaney, a brilliant surgeon who compulsively kidnaps people and rips out their eyeballs, dumping their bleeding bodies into a filthy basement cage. His masterplan? To transplant these ill-gotten orbs into the skull of his daughter, who herself was blinded in a tragic accident years before
