. . . as most all of the "Bonus Feature extras" on their 2015 DVD release for BURNT OFFERINGS are much better-than-average entries in this area. PORTRAITS OF FEAR expertly edits Robert Cobert's score for the feature film to make the highlights of the music aptly dovetail with the on-screen images. The latter include three versions of the book cover for the novel upon which the feature film is based, one still of author Robert Marasco, about a dozen production stills, and then PR material from the BURNT OFFERINGS publicity campaigns in Spain, Japan, Germany, and the U.S. (Is it a total coincidence that America is lumped in by Kino Lorber with two and a half of World War Two's Axis Powers?) Apparently BURNT OFFERINGS was released in Spain with the title of "Pesadilla Diabolica," while "Landhaus Toten Seelen" topped the posters in Germany. (I could not decipher the Japanese Hieroglyphics, but it seems that the designers of that nation's posters were totally clueless about the content of the flick, as they picture lightning striking an isolated haunted house perched by its lonesome high on a hill.)
