Don May Jr. broke the news to FANGORIA and it's great news indeed. Seems that SYNAPSE FILMS has acquired the rights to a handful of classic HAMMER films and will be bringing them to DVD and maybe Blu-ray later this year.
Here's what May told Fango:
Synapse's Don May Jr. gave us the scoop that theyβve picked up Robert
Young's VAMPIRE CIRCUS, John Hough's TWINS OF EVIL and Peter Sasdy's
HANDS OF THE RIPPER, along with the classic 13-episode TV series HAMMER
HOUSE OF HORROR. We have new high-definition transfers of all three
features, May tells Fango. Supplement producer Daniel Griffith is
working with us on extras, including - so far - interviews with filmmaker
and Hammer fan Joe Dante and FLESH AND BLOOD: THE HAMMER HERITAGE OF
HORROR writer/director Ted Newsom. Other possible interviews and extras
are in the works, including theatrical trailers and TV spots. It's very
possible we will be putting out the three features on Blu-ray as well.
If we do, we'll announce both the DVD and Blu-ray releases at the same
time. All 13 episodes of HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR will be released in a
DVD boxed set. The plan is to have these available in third quarter
2010.
This is great news for horror fans everywhere.
Keep it here and as the info comes in, I'll make sure you know about it.
