[Vampires]From the master of terror comes a new breed of evil.[Ghosts]Terror is the same on any planet!
Features: 2 Pack, DVD
A 2-pack DVD featuring two of John Carpenter's action packed horror movies, GHOSTS OF MARS and VAMPIRES.GHOSTS OF MARS: Natasha Henstridge (Species) is Melanie Ballard, a headstrong police lieutenant on Mars in the year 2025. Humans have been colonizing and mining on the red planet for some time, but when Ballard and her squad are sent to a remote region to apprehend the dangerous criminal James "Desolation" Williams (Ice Cube, Three Kings), they discover that he's the least of their worries. The mining operations have unleashed a deadly array of Martian spirits who take over the bodies of humans and won't stop until they destroy all intruders on their planet. With a stellar cast including Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Jessie Statham (Snatch) and Clea Duvall (The Faculty), as well as explosive special effects, John Carpenter's Ghosts Of Mars is an intergalactic terror fest like you've never seen. VAMPIRES: In the blood-chilling tradition of Halloween and Village of the Damned comes John Carpenter's unique vision of the ultimate killing machines, Vampires. "Forget everything you've ever heard about vampires," warns Jack Crow (James Woods), the leader of Team Crow, a relentless group of mercenary vampire slayers. When Master Vampire Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) decimates Jack's entire team, Crow and the sole team survivor, Montoya (Daniel Baldwin) set out in pursuit. Breaking all the rules, Crow and Montoya take one of Valek's victims hostage. The beautiful but unlucky prostitute (Sheryl Lee) is their sole psychic link to Valek, and through her senses they will track down the leader of the undead. As Valek nears the climax of his 600-year search for the Berziers Cross, Jack and the new Team Crow do everything humanly possible to prevent him from possessing the only thing that can grant him and all vampires the omnipotent power to walk in the daylight.
