Continuing its mission to unearth the very best in weird and wonderful horror obscura from the golden age of US independent genre moviemaking, Arrow Video is proud to present the second volume in its American Horror Project series co-curated by author Stephen Thrower (Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents). Starting off with a little-seen 1970 offering from underrated cult auteur John Hayes (Grave of the Vampire, Garden of the Dead), Dream No Evil is a haunting, moving tale of a young woman's desperate quest to be reunited with her long-lost father only to find herself drawn into a fantasyland of homicidal madness. Meanwhile, 1976's Dark August stars Academy Award winner Kim Hunter (A Streetcar Named Desire) in a story of a man pursued by a terrifying and deadly curse in the wake of a hit-and-run accident. Lastly, 1977's Harry Novak-produced The Child is a gloriously delirious slice of horror mayhem in which a young girl raises an army of the dead against the people she holds responsible for her mother's death. With all three films having been remastered from the best surviving film elements and appearing here alongside a wealth of supplementary material, American Horror Project Volume Two offers up yet another fascinating and blood-chilling foray into the deepest, darkest corners of stars-and-stripes terror. 3-DISC SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS 2K restorations from original film elements High Definition Blu-ray presentation Original uncompressed PCM mono audio English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Reversible sleeves featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by The Twins of Evil DREAM NO EVIL Filmed appreciation by Stephen Thrower Audio commentary with Kat Ellinger and Samm Deighan Hollywood After Dark: The Early Films of John Hayes, 1959-1971 video essay by Stephen Thrower looking at Hayes' filmography leading up to Dream No Evil Writer Chris Poggiali on the prodigious career of celebrated character actor Edmond O'Brien Excerpts from an audio interview with actress Rue McClanahan (The Golden Girls) discussing her many cinematic collaborations with director John Hayes DARK AUGUST Filmed appreciation by Stephen Thrower Audio commentary with writer-director Martin Goldman On-camera interview with Martin Goldman On-camera interview with producer Marianne Kanter The Hills Are Alive: Dark August and Vermont Folk Horror author and artist Stephen R.

It's always a small surprise to revisit this movie and realise what a subtly dark performance James Stewart gives as an alcoholic who claims he keeps company with a six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit. As Elwood P. Dowd, the actor emits a faint whiff of decay and spirits, yet Stewart also embraces Dowd's romanticism and grace with splendid ease. Based on a hit play and directed by Henry Koster, the film is terribly funny at times, especially whenever Elwood decides it is only polite to introduce Harvey to complete strangers. The supporting cast can't be beat. --Tom Keogh
