Mam Tu Swój Dom
*2022 stock.* Two forgotten films from the same year, with similar themes and music by the same composer.

La Terrificante Notte Del Demonio
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Directed by Patrice Romme, The Devil's Nightmare was an Italian-Belgian production and featured main performers Jean Servais alongside a sensual Erika Blanc; also worthy of note is the disturbing presence of the graceful and filiform silhouette of Daniel Emilfork in the role of Satan.
