The Nesting (1981) An all star cast including Oscar winning screen veteran Gloria Grahame (in her final performance), legendary character actor John Carradine (The Howling) and Robin Groves (Silver Bullet) star in a haunted house horror chiller directed by Armand Weston of The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion).

After a theatrical run and some limited success upon the film's initial VHS release from Warner Home Video, The Nesting became long obscure. Well that changes now! The Nesting is finally hitting DVD and Blu-Ray shelves on June 28 from Blue Underground.

In The Nesting, a mystery writer finds herself mysteriously drawn to an isolated mansion. She leaves New York to move into the eerie Victorian mansion, once a brothel haunted by the ghost of a madam Florinda Costello (Gloria Grahame) along with an assortment of dead prostitutes. The ex-brothel is the scene of several gory killings, witnessed by the writer.

The Nesting is one of thousands of horror films that has never been released on DVD, that is until now, because Blue Underground is putting it out and you have the nice option of a pristine Blu-ray if you like.

A writer suffering from agoraphobia rents an isolated house so she can concentrate on her writing. She doesn’t know that the house is a former brothel, and is inhabited by the ghosts of dead prostitutes.

“Coming on both formats June 28, The Nesting (a.k.a. Phobia and Massacre Mansion) was directed by Armand Weston and stars Robin Groves as Lauren Cochran, an agoraphobic mystery writer who relocates from the city to an old Victorian house in the country to get over her writer’s block. Unfortunately, Lauren soon receives more inspiration than she’d like as people around her start dying violently, and she starts uncovering the house’s gruesome history.
