5 Horror Classics: The Ape / The Wasp Woman / Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory / The She-Beast / The Killer Shrews [DVD]

With tales of murderous possession and of scientists gone mad and bad, this five-movie collection offers up a very scary selection of horror entertainment. The Ape Dr. Adrian (Boris Karloff) discovers a vaccine for polio: pure, unadulterated human spinal fluid. Now all he needs are some donors. The Wasp Woman Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot), a youth-obsessed cosmetics company mogul, volunteers to be the test subject for a newly developed regenerating beauty cream. The ointment is created from an enzyme found in wasps and is believed to be a veritable fountain of youth. At first, Janice is ecstatic with her results, but there are some unusual changes occurring in her body—and then there's that sinister urge to hunt human prey... Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory At a boarding school for wayward girls, a murderous beast is prowling the campus grounds. With its razor-sharp claws, skin-shredding teeth, and insatiable lust for blood, the flesh-ripping beast slinks out of the shadows when the moon is full and when there is no one around to hear its victim's blood-curdling screams. The She-Beast Veronica (Barbara Steele) is a beautiful young bride who is possessed by an 18th century Transylvanian witch that was murdered by local villagers and is now bent on getting her revenge. The Killer Shrews As a hurricane approaches, Captain Thorne Sherman (James Best) docks at an isolated island to drop off supplies to a mad scientist and his beautiful daughter. Dr. Craigis has accidentally created a race of giant shrews that manage to escape during the storm. The only way to survive is to somehow make it off the island...
