Four Star-Excelsior Releasing Company

Background
Four Star-Excelsior Releasing Company was the short-lived theatrical division of Four Star International. It mainly released horror and exploitation films. Four Star was put under New World Entertainment's ownership in 1989 after it was folded by Andrew's Group. New World was acquired by News Corporation on January 22, 1997. Most of Four Star-Excelsior's films are long out of print, however one film, The Brotherhood of Satan, was released and retained by Columbia Pictures and is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
