The Cauldron Of Death (1970)
CAULDRON OF BLOOD is, with all it’s admitted faults, in reality a very important minor entry in the early stages of the Euro Horror boom years of 1967 to 1975 or so. The film’s main draw is Boris Karloff, brought…
Three On A Meat Hook (1973)

Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990)
