CTHULHU POSTER By Richard Luong Highly Recommended. A very large, creepy, magnificent painting of a huge Cthulhu, towering hundreds of feet above a lost sailing ship, sails shredded, about to be crushed and sunk into oblivion.

THE WITCHES DVD Originally released 1968. Directed by Luchino Visconti. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis.

Franco Rosso (The Woman in the Painting) concocts a story of revenge in "The Sicilian's Wife," while Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine) casts Clint Eastwood as Mangano's estranged husband in "An Evening Like the Others." A stunning homage to Italian comic books. MVD, 2018....More. Item Code: WITDVD Full Color |
