Four Italian horror movies from filmmakers Lucio Fulci and Umberto Lenzi - "The House of Clocks", "The Sweet House of Horrors", "The House of Lost Souls", and "The House of Witchcraft" - all with a haunted house theme. Originally they were intended to be a TV series (Houses of Doom), but were deemed too gory for television and were shelved until an eventual later release.
A man discharged from the hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown is taken to a remote Italian villa by his strangely-behaving wife. But he has strong premonitions that the house is possessed by some force of witchcraft, which he has been experiencing in his recurring nightmare.
A handful of young geologists are unlucky enough to be forced to stay at a rundown hotel in the middle of nowhere. What they don't know is that the hotel has been abandoned for twenty years because the owner of the hotel had killed his family and all the guests two decades ago. Strange things begin to happen, and suddenly murders are committed...
A murdered couple return from the beyond to care for their two young children, as well as seek revenge against their killer, accept their children's step parents, and try to prevent their house from being sold.
A gang of ruthless thugs intent on robbery prey upon a seemingly harmless elderly couple, Vittorio and Sara. The simple plan turns into a terrifying nightmare, as Vittorio's antique clock collection mysteriously turns back time. Now the hunters become the hunted and the old couple becomes a vengeful, malevolent force.
