1962. Nine-year-old Frankie Scarlatti enjoys a homespun childhood in a rustic Western New York town. The entire community gets into the spirit of Halloween, but then two bullies prank Frankie by locking him in his school cloakroom, leaving him trapped for the night. Alone and afraid, his slumber is interrupted when the ghost of a little girl appears, and Frankie witnesses the specter of her murder by an unseen assailant. Later, while recovering at home, the girl's ghost appears to him again. With help from his older brother, Frankie begins investigating the circumstances of her death. He soon discovers that her murder was one of several unsolved crimes connected to a local child-killer. As the town's bucolic veneer fades and long-buried secrets and tensions bubble to the surface, all of the clues to the mystery seem to point towards a huge mansion inhabited by a reclusive woman known as "The Lady in White."
A nostalgia-driven ghost story wrapped within an intricate murder mystery and coming-of-age drama, writer-director-composer Frank LaLoggia's passion project LADY IN WHITE remains one of the most beautiful and original American horror films of the 1980s. Featuring acclaimed actors Alex Rocco (The Godfather), Len Cariou (Executive Decision), and Sydney Lassick (Carrie, The Unseen), it boasts the first starring role by Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks, Inception) as well as breathtaking photography by Academy Award® winner Russell Carpenter (True Lies, The Lawnmower Man). Vinegar Syndrome is honored to bring this genre masterpiece to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and presented in three versions: its pre-release director's cut, its extended home-video version, and its original theatrical version, along with an abundance of both new and archival extras.

Shaw masterpiece!
"I've been loving these Shaw releases lately! Shaw Scares vol 1 was my intro into their films and I love the combination of action and martial arts and gore that they put into these films. I had never heard of Human Lanterns so I instantly had to pick this one up. Keep them coming! I loved this movie!"
— Jason R. (5/5)

Classic Shaw Bros Horror Wuxia
"A totally gorgeous 4k scan of maybe one of the first horror wuxia movies I saw years ago. This played even better for me than it did back then, largely in part to how good it looks, in addition to the moment or two of additional footage added in that throws in some nudity and gore that was previously excised from the original cut. In a lot of ways, this is more wuxia than horror for most of the runtime, but it's all rock solid either way."
