Roger Corman and his brother Gene founded The Filmgroup to distribute their own films. Occasionally they picked up projects by other filmmakers, such as The Devil’s Partner (1961), a macabre tale of an elderly man who regains his youth after making a deal with Satan. This tale of folk terror from director Charles Rondeau stars Edgar Buchanan and Jean Allison. Also on hand is a bonus second feature film: Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961), Corman’s spoof of crime films where a gangster knocks off his crew members, blaming their deaths on a legendary sea monster. These two were often paired as a double-feature during the summer and fall of 1961. Beware of the creature with ping-pong ball eyes!

Also on hand for the double-bill of horror flicks from 1961 is the following:

  • TV Version of Devil’s Partner included
  • Theatrical Version of Creature from the Haunted Sea included
  • Extended TV Version of Creature from the Haunted Sea included
  • Full length commentary for Devil’s Parter
