Dracula: Prince of Darkness Heads to Blu-ray Stateside
11 June 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A good argument can be made that Christopher Lee's interpretation of Count Dracula is among some of cinema's finest. The man just commands a room and still does to this very day. That's why we're thrilled that Dracula: Prince of Darkness is on its way to Blu-ray here in the States for the first time!
According to Blu-ray.com Millennium Entertainment will release a Collector's Edition of director Terence Fisher's classic horror film Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966), starring Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, and Andrew Keir. The release will be available for purchase on September 3rd.
Synopsis:
For many years after becoming one of the definitive movie Draculas in the 1958 Hammer Films classic Horror of Dracula (in which he was pitted against Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing), Christopher Lee refused to reprise his role as filmdom's most infamous vampire. He finally returned to the role in this belated sequel, »

Dracula: Prince of Darkness Blu-ray is Coming to the Us
8 June 2013 1:58 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Millennium Entertainment recently sealed a deal to bring Hammer titles to the Us and Dracula: Prince of Darkness is the first title to be released on Blu-ray. At this time, the only Us-specific news we have is that the movie will be released on September 3rd, but we should have a full press release from Millennium shortly. Because the release is coming straight from Hammer, we believe it will mirror the UK release and here’s a look at that version’s bonus features, transfer, and cover art:
“In this sequel to Dracula (1958), four English tourists are holidaying in the Carpathians when they meet the unconventional Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an inn. He warns them to avoid the local castle if they value their lives, but the next day the quartet find themselves stranded in the mountains after their driver abandons them. When a driverless carriage arrives they board it, »

Hammer's Former Home Historic Bray Studios Being Turned into Luxury Apartments
30 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Here's some heart-wrenching news for fans of classic Hammer horror films. Turns out the owner of Bray Studios, where the iconic studio filmed many of its most classic films, is looking to turn this once mecca of horror into luxury homes.
According to the UK's Daily Mail, the owner of Bray Studios in Berkshire, Neville Hendricks, says the iconic location is no longer viable for movie-making – and that he wants to put up to seven executive homes on the site.
But the plan has infuriated big names in the movie business, including Terry Gilliam, director of The Fisher King, and Richard O’Brien, composer and star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show – who are backing a campaign to save the studios. Protesters have set up a Save Bray Studios Facebook page and started an online petition. They claim that the studios are struggling only because show business agent Hendricks, who owns the site near Windsor, »

Blu-ray, DVD Release: The Magic Christian
29 March 2013 2:08 PM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: May 28, 2013
Price: DVD $24.95, Blu-ray $29.95
Studio: Olive Films
Raquel Welch helps Ringo Starr find the magic in The Magic Christian.
Directed by Joseph McGrath, the 1969 cult comedy film The Magic Christian starring Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther) and Ringo Starr comes from the pen of the brilliant Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove, Barbarella), based on his 1959 comic novel of the same name.
In the movie, Sir Guy Grand (Sellers), the richest man in the world, whimsically adopts a young homeless man (Starr) who he happens to meet by chance during a stroll in the park. Together they set off on a series of inspired escapades that comically attack the snobbery and hypocrisy of modern society. Moving from one misadventure to another, they have encounters with characters portrayed by such noteworthy performers as Richard Attenborough (The Great Escape), Laurence Harvey (Summer and Smoke), Raquel Welch (Hannie Caulder), Christopher Lee »

First Time Watch #4: The Devil Rides Out
6 March 2013 10:40 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Hammer are synomonus with classic takes on movie monsters with films such as Dracula: Prince of Darkness and The Curse of Frankenstein picking up the Universal Monsters baton and adding a bit of spice to proceedings making rather more gaudy but often no less effective experiences. However, just as the Universal crew took in many monsters, as did Hammer with a wide variety of horror genre fare of which I personally have little experience. It was a pleasure then to take in Satanist drama The Devil Rides Out, a film I’d been meaning to see for years but had finally been given the push by a recent episode of FirstShowing.net’s excellent podcast The Golden Briefcase.
Satanists in the movies are a difficult bunch to get right. With their “heightened” sense of fashion, chanting which can mean gibberish and a general air of batshit insanity, often times they »
