Today's headlines: The Heat Blasts On ... and Savant has More Reviews.

Warners warms the hearts of fans of classic horror, with a double bill disc of House of Wax & The Mystery of the Wax Museum. The 1953 Vincent Price shocker, originally in Naturalvision Third Dimension, is paired with the 1933 original, itself in an obsolete color format, Two-Strip Technicolor. The old show stars the great ingenue Fay Wray in top screaming form.

Paramount also has a gem, Peter Bogdanovich's first real feature, Targets, which is not about a retail chain. The story behind this one is pretty amazing, and it's given in a detailed Bogdanovich commentary and interview. Boris Karloff is Byron Orlock, a horror star who wants to retire because his kind of movies are out of date. Fate proves him right, when he crosses paths with modern terror in the form of a mad sniper. A confected idea is given brilliant treatment here.

Something Weird and Image weigh in with the irresistably tacky-sounding The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield, a monument to the pre-hardcore sleaze come-on that plumbs the dire depths of bad taste. See Jayne ogle Italian streetwalkers and talk about her basically shy nature! With one of those foreign 'documentaries' about sexual misadjustment, The Labyrinth of Sex.

Savant had another review, but thought better of posting it before reading it a few more times ... it's hard sometimes to say what's wrong with a movie without sounding like a complete grouch. More Wilder, more Anchor Bay and MGM horror (just got in the MGM sexy Vampire double bill), and more Criterion and HVE art pictures are on the way. Glenn Erickson
