Mondo Macabro is an American-based home video distribution company founded in 2002 by British duo Pete Tombs and Andy Starke.[2] A specialty label whose mission is "to hunt down strange, bizarre, and forgotten films and bring them back to life" on DVD and Blu-ray, the company was inspired by Tombs' 1997 book Mondo Macabro: Weird & Wonderful Cinema Around the World;[2] the book also served as inspiration for Tombs and Starke's TV program of the same name, which aired on the British Channel 4 in 2002.[3]

Mondo Macabro was initially based in the United Kingdom, before Starke suggested basing it in the United States.[4] Mondo Macabro's catalog of releases includes cult and exploitation films produced in such countries as Argentina, Indonesia, and Pakistan.[5][6] The first title released on the Mondo Macabro label was the 1977 Mexican horror film Alucarda, which the company issued on DVD in 2003.[4] Other films released by Mondo Macabro include The Diabolical Dr. Z (1966),[7] The Mansion of Madness (1973),[8] Challenge of the Tiger (1980),[9] Mystics in Bali (1981),[10] and Aswang (1994).[11]
