Terror In The Fog Blu-ray brings together five essential entries from the Wallace krimi cycle produced by Artur Brauner’s CCC Film, showcasing a defining strand of 1960s West German crime cinema. Adapted from stories by British crime writer Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace, these films fuse classic whodunit mysteries with Gothic atmosphere, masked killers, and fog-drenched English settings, creating a distinctive blend of crime, thriller, and horror.
 
Spanning shadowy London streets and isolated country estates, the collection includes The Curse of the Yellow Snake, The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle, The Mad Executioners, The Monster of London City, and The Racetrack Murders. Cult conspiracies, hooded vigilantes, branded victims, and lingering Jack the Ripper echoes define these labyrinthine plots, where murder and menace unfold amid gothic set-pieces and escalating paranoia.
 
Highly influential on the Italian giallo and later American slasher films, the Wallace krimi cycle helped shape modern genre cinema through its visual stylisation and recurring motifs of anonymous violence. Presented here as part of the Masters of Cinema series, Terror In The Fog marks the first time these five CCC-produced Wallace adaptations have been released on Blu-ray in the U.S., sourced from new restorations by CCC Film and supported by an extensive slate of contextual extras, including a bonus feature presentation of The Phantom of Soho.
