Enter The Houses of Doom …. a 4 film horror series that was made for Italian television in 1989, but things didn’t quite turn out “safe for TV” when producers enlisted cinematic madmen Lucio Fulci and Umberto Lenzi to direct! Far too gory and violent for television and essentially shelved until home video many years later, Cauldron Films is proud to release all 4 films (The House of Clocks & The Sweet House of Horrors directed by Lucio Fulci and The House of Lost Souls & The House of Witchcraft directed by Umberto Lenzi), collected on Blu-ray for the first time in a 6 disc set (4 Blu-rays / 2 CD soundtracks) fully uncut and restored from 2K scans of the film negatives, housed in a rigid outer box with 4 folded posters!
