Die Monster Die Blu-Ray

When American student Stephen Reinhart (Nick Adams) arrives in the English village of Arkham to visit his fiancée Susan Witley (Suzan Farmer), he has no idea of the horrors that await him inside. Stephen is invited by Susan's mysteriously ill mother (Freda Jackson) and is met by Susan's father, Nahum (Boris Karloff), who makes it clear that the visit is an unwelcome intrusion into the lavishly furnished halls of the Witley estate, for Nahum hides a dangerous secret.

A meteorite has crashed into the garden, burning the earth and emitting a mutating radiation that has transformed the greenhouse plants into pulsating giants, with horrific and sickening side effects for the residents. Based on H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Colour Out of Space," Die, Monster, Die! is a British horror film filled with mystery, shock, and blood.
