'THE HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS' NOW ON BLU RAY FOR THE FIRST TIME!


For anyone recently watching the recent DVD release of 'HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS' thinking, I wish this was available on Blu Ray....Wish no more, because it IS! Slipped out quietly this week. It's a release by KOCH MEDIA. The disc is in English / German. The extras are nothing to write home about, but you can add this 'bluey' to your Cushing Collection!

The American writer Kenneth Magee makes a bet with his publisher, to write in a single night, a horror novel. The publisher counters and sends Magee in an old country house where supposedly no one has lived for decades. The Haunted 'House of the Long Shadows' proves to be a collection of terrible events, as a hotbed of poison attacks, murder and manslaughter. Who is the brutal killer who takes a bloody trail of death through this house? Magee fears for his life, as already some corpses block the way to the exit, and he feels that he will be next. But suddenly, in the misty dawn, the ghostly nigh
t takes a completely unexpected outcome.
