Also, what purely horror genre titles with Proce haven't been released yet? Besides The Tingler? Thanks!

Boggle did a decent job summarizing CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER in the post on the previous page. It's more akin to HOUSE OF 1000 DOLLS (both exploitation films with mildly sleazy elements and a Crime Thriller backdrop to the story). "Opium Eater" was directed by Albert Zugsmith, a well-known producer/director of many highly-regarded B movies. The "drug trip/hallucination" stuff was fairly out there for the time of its release.

THE TINGLER is really the only "pure" horror title left of his, I believe. There are still some titles of interest to people who rabidly collect genre films, such as "Opium Eater", HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES, THE STORY OF MANKIND, THE BIG CIRCUS, THE BRIBE, SON OF SINBAD, LAS VEGAS STORY, SHOCK and probably a few others I'm forgetting at the moment.
