This third film in the modern reincarnation of The Mummy takes the action to China, where the evil Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) comes back to life and brings his undead army with him for good measure. It's up to explorer Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) and his family to stop them from taking over too much of the world. Maybe just Iowa.

A group of teens on a road trip end up stranded at a secluded house inhabited by a little girl who warns them of "the doctor" and the monster that the doctor has created. Wanna feel old? Gabrielle Carteris from Beverly Hills 90210 plays the MOTHER of one of the teens.

Neil Marshall (The Descent) directed this hybrid about a deadly virus that causes a portion of Great Britain to be walled up for 25 years. However, when the virus breaks free, it's up to a crack group of specialists to go behind the wall to find a cure. I think Pink Floyd appears at some point.

This set collects three Japanese exploitation movies, so-called "pink films" that blend the sexual with the horrific. In Angel Guts: Red Classroom, a man discovers that the rape scene in an adult movie is in fact real. Malice@Doll is an animated film about a broken sex robot. In Love - Zero = Infinity, a man is hired to spy on a woman who turns out to be a vampire of sorts.

On the heels of the Korean shocker The Wig comes this tale of cursed hair extensions, which kill their new owners. This oddball concept comes from the director of the cult hit Suicide Club, so odds are it's even weirder than it sounds.

Jean Rollin, French erotic horror pioneer, directed this tale of a man who discovers that the woman he sees in his dreams is not only real, but she's also a vampire. Thanks a lot, eHarmony.

Two decades after the events of the vampire movie The Lost Boys, the niece of Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) falls in with a gang of vampires in much the same way that Sam's brother Michael did. It's up to her brother, with help from the Frog brothers, to draw her away from the gang and destroy the vampires once and for all.

Trailer

In this 1967 Japanese film, a woman who was raped as a teenager uses her feminine wiles to get revenge on men.

This box -- er, skull -- set of the second and final season of Showtime's Masters of Horror comes in a nifty skull case, a nice conversation piece for the in-laws.
