Five-disc set includes:

Strange Voyage (El Extraño Viaje) (1964)In a small town outside Madrid, shrewish Ignacia Vidal (Tota Alba) lorded it over her timid siblings Paquita (Rafaela Aparicio) and Venancio (Jesus Franco). When they confronted her over her plans to take off with a lover, sell the house, and kicked them to the curb, things got violent... and the sordid doings would take bizarre turns. Fernando Fernán Gómez' influential, long-sought modern gothic co-stars Carlos Larrañaga, Lina Canalejas, Sara Lezana. 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR

Exorcism's Daughter (Las Melancólicas) (1971)Traumatized since childhood from having watched the botched exorcism of her mother, Tania (Analia Gadé) seemed consigned to living out her days in a filthy, corruptly administered asylum. While a compassionate new doctor (Franciso Rabal) seeks to provide her genuine treatment, has his approach come far too late? Disturbing drama co-stars Helga Liné, Espartaco Santoni, Pilar Bardem, Inma de Santis. AKA: "House of Insane Women," "Las Melancólicas." 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles/Dubbed in English.

The Dracula Saga (La Saga de los Drácula) (1973)Pregnant Londoner Berta (Tina Sáinz) got an urgent message from distant family to come to the Transylvanian village of her youth, so she and husband Hans (Tony Isbert) complied. At the ancestral castle, her condition was warmly received by her decrepit grandfather (Narciso Ibáñez Menta) and the rest of the clan, who were understandably excited about the new blood. León Klimovsky's chiller co-stars Helga Liné, María Kosty, Cristina Suriani, Heinrich Starhemberg. 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR

The Turn Of The Screw (Otra Vuelta de Tuerca) (1985)On the precipice of the priesthood but mired in doubt, seminarian Roberto (Pedro Mari Sánchez) took a job as at-home tutor for the two young children of a local noble. As he became acclimated to the household, however, he'd learn more than he'd care to about the family's secrets.
