Experience the thrills and chills of your favorite classic Full Moon films, now re-imagined, all-eerie, monochrome!

Full Moon's Noir Double Feature: Head of the Family / Hideous! plunges two cult favorites from the twisted imagination of Charles Band into the eerie world of black-and-white "film noir" horror. Newly re-cut and re-imagined in stark monochrome, these definitive versions transform Full Moon's colorful chaos into shadow-drenched nightmares that blend the studio's signature camp and grotesque humor with a smoky, vintage aesthetic that pays homage to the crime thrillers of the 1940s.

In Head of the Family, the notorious Stackpool clan returns--this time even creepier in black and white. Howard (Blake Adams) is a brutish biker with a short fuse and a sultry wife, Loretta (Jacqueline Lovell), who's secretly carrying on with diner owner Lance (J.W. Perra). When Lance stumbles upon the Stackpools' ghastly secret--a family led by a grotesque, oversized head with terrifying mental powers--he hatches a scheme for blackmail that quickly spirals into madness. The noir treatment heightens the sleaze and menace of Band's original, giving this cult classic a whole new sinister sheen.

Hideous! takes the monochrome experiment even further, turning Band's 1997 mutant-monster romp into a moody, shadow-laden fever dream. Dr. Lorca (Mel Johnson Jr.), a collector of biological oddities, has just obtained a grotesque creature spawned from toxic sludge. But when the creature's original owner tries to reclaim it, chaos erupts--complete with government agents, deranged collectors, and an army of oozing, re-animated abominations. Now re-edited as Hideous! Noir, the film's mixture of sexuality, slime, and satire oozes with midnight-movie atmosphere worthy of Re‑Animator and Freaks.

Both films include brand-new introductions by Charles Band himself, as well as exclusive "Noir" trailers showcasing the studio's inventive visual overhaul. For longtime fans of Full Moon Features, this release offers a fresh way to experience two of the studio's wildest cult sensations--now steeped in shadow, irony, and a macabre sense of cinematic style that turns schlock into pulp poetry.
