101 Films presents the Bob Clark Horror Collection. Bringing together for the first time Clark's seminal horrors of the 70s, Black Christmas, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, and Deathdream (aka Dead of Night), in a limited edition 3-disc set, complete with booklet and newly commissioned artwork.
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things:
Led by a mean-spirited director, a theatre troupe travels by boat to a small island for buried criminals. The group gets more than they bargained for when the dead rise from their graves. Can they stay put until daylight against the undead onslaught, or do they flee into the pitch-black night? Will anyone survive?
Deathdream (AKA Dead of Night):
In this shattering variation on "The Monkey's Paw", grief-stricken suburban parents refuse to accept the news that their son Andy has been killed in Vietnam. But when Andy returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong: Andy is alive and well... or is he?
Black Christmas:
As Christmas break begins, a group of sorority sisters make plans for the holiday. Jess (Olivia Hussey) and Barb (Margot Kidder) begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls that put them on edge. Initially, Barb encourages the mysterious caller, but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb's friend Claire (Lynne Griffin) goes missing from the sorority house and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. The police finally begin to get concerned when a teenage girl is found dead in the park - they set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but no one realizes just how near the killer really is!
