“There is only one master! And his name is Satan!” ? Vinegar Syndrome has re-released a long lost 1985 horror anthology film called Night Train to Terror. They have put out a brand new Blu-ray / DVD set in its original aspect ratio and restored in 2K from the original 35mm film elements. Never heard of this flick? With Halloween season a few weeks away, check out the vintage trailer for it posted by VS. God and Satan are on a train discussing the fate of three individuals. The stories of the people in question are told in a trio of very wacky vignettes. One involves an insane asylum with very strange treatment plans. Another is about a Russian roulette “death club.” The finale shows us the adventures of a server of Satan in a story about the Holocaust. Starring Cameron Mitchell, Ferdy Mayne, John Phillip Law, Maurice Grandmaison, Richard Moll, Faith Clift, Merideth Haze, and Sharon Ratcliff. This looks like some bonkers 1980s horror madness! Love the demons and all the practical gore and FX. Looks like a good one to catch up with.
Here’s the vintage 1985 trailer (+ cover art) for horror anthology Night Train to Terror, from YouTube:
From the distributor: “Aboard a fast moving train bound for Hell, God and Satan decide the fates of three unfortunate mortals. In Harry, a fiendish killer keeps the horribly mutilated body parts of his countless victims in a diabolical tourture chamber. In Gretta, a young woman, obsessed with death, takes part in an unspeakable ritual of Russian roulette. And finally in Claire, a young woman and a Holocaust survivor are terrorized by the son of Satan! Night Train to Terror comes to you on home video for the very first time in its original aspect ratio and restored in 2k from 35mm film elements.” Night Train to Terror is directed by genre filmmaker Jay Schlossberg-Cohen, also of the 1987 film Cry Wilderness. Segments are directed by John Carr (Harry & Gretta), and Phillip Marshak & Tom McGowan & Greg Tallas (Claire). The screenplay is written by Philip Yordan. This originally opened in US theaters in early 1985, with a stop at the Wisconsin Film Festival. Vinegar Syndrome is selling restored version Blu-rays on the official website. Anyone seen it?
