Dan Curtis' Late-Night Mysteries Blu-ray with Slipcover (Kino Lorber) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release September 23, 2025

Perhaps no figure exerted a greater influence on 1970s television horror than Dan Curtis. Having created the daytime drama Dark Shadows (1966-71), and while producing popular primetime TV movies (The Night Stalker, The Norliss Tapes), his company produced stand-alone thrillers for ABC Television’s Wide World Mystery. Originally shot on videotape, the four productions in this collection have been carefully adapted to HD for this Blu-ray release. Shadow of Fear stars Claude Akins (B.J. and the Bear) as a disgraced police officer hired to investigate crimes surrounding a psychologically troubled housewife (Anjanette Comer). In The Invasion of Carol Enders, the spirit of a car crash victim is reincarnated into the body of another patient (Meredith Baxter, Family). Come Die With Me follows the cat-and-mouse relationship between a cavalier playboy (George Maharis, Route 66) and the housekeeper who tries to blackmail him (Eileen Brennan, Private Benjamin). A wholesome family experiences a Kafkaesque miscarriage of justice when they are accused of drug trafficking in Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest.
