Mondo Macabro is an American-based home video distribution company founded in 2002 by Pete Tombs and Andy Starke.[2] Their focus is releasing cult and exploitation films on DVD and Blu-ray and was named after Tombs' 1997 book Mondo Macabro: Weird & Wonderful Cinema Around the World.[2]
Mondo Macabro was initially based in the United Kingdom, before Starke suggested basing it in the United States.[3] Mondo Macabro's catalog of releases includes cult and exploitation films produced in such countries as Argentina, Indonesia, and Pakistan.[4][5] The first title released on the Mondo Macabro label was the 1977 Mexican horror film Alucarda, which the company issued on DVD in 2003.[3] Other films released by Mondo Macabro include The Diabolical Dr. Z (1966),[6] The Mansion of Madness (1973),[7] Challenge of the Tiger (1980),[8] Mystics in Bali (1981),[9] and Aswang (1994).[10]
