CelluloidKid Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Warner Bros. is bringing four classic horror films to DVD for the first time in two double-feature releases. *The Shuttered Room/It! and Chambers of Horror/The Brides of Fu Manchu will be released on DVD on December 9, 2008.* Each of these double-features will be priced at $19.98 SRP, but no special features will be available on the discs. *_The Shuttered Room_* is a gothic thriller starring Carol Lynley and Gig Young as a couple visiting the New England millhouse they inherited. In their eagerness to explore, they disregard the warnings of the very strange locals and are faced with mystery and madness. When a fire destroys a section of a London Museum only one statue survives. It is a mystical monster created by a 16th century rabbi that seems to have the power to withstand all attempts at destruction. Roddy McDowall (Planet of the Apes) stars in It! as a museum assistant who hopes to use the creature to do his bidding. *_Chamber of Horrors_* is a film so scary that special on-screen devices called The Fear Flasher (visual warning) and Horror Horn (audible warning) are included to warn viewers of the most horrific moments. Patrick O'Neal stars as a one-handed maniac on a death spree who utilizes specially designed tools to chop, rip and skewer those who he believes have wronged him. *_The Brides of Fu Manchu_* is the second in a series of five Fu Manchu films about the Asian villain Fu Manchu attempting to stay one step ahead of his Scotland Yard adversary. This time, in another attempt at world domination, Fu Manchu and his henchmen kidnap daughters of the world's leading scientists, demanding they build him a death-ray weapon or the girls will die. Hammer Films icon Christopher Lee portrays the mastermind of terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Celluloid Kid, those four titles were already mentioned here two months ago, on August 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Quo Vadis and The Lone Ranger Collection are two things on my want list, but it is good to see they both got good notices at homemediamagazine.com: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/questex/hom854169KDX/index.php#/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film_Fatale Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I don't believe this has been mentioned before, and I just found out about it: *Zabriskie Point* is being released by WHV in France next month: http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001HBW38I/dvdbeaver0d-21/ref=nosim Could a U.S. release be in the horizon?

LsDoorMat Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't know if this is the place to ask the question, but I noticed that since I first preordered the documentary "When the Lion Roared", that Amazon has now added the tag that it is region 6, which is for China. Why would WHV be selling this documentary exclusively in region 6 in the U.S.? Is this just a mistake? Thanks ahead of time for any information you can give me. I've already asked the customer service people at Amazon, and they don't know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film_Fatale Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It has got to be a mistake. I can't recall anyone (much less amazon) ever selling Region 6 DVDs in the U.S. (which would theoretically go against the licensing agreements). Not to mention that to the best of my knowledge, many discs in China are region-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphoto1021 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 i just read the post about the hitchcock set. i tried out 2 discs and my one dvd player makes a horrible noise when it's loading and gets stuck. i tried on another dvd player i have and one seems to play fine. sometimes i've noticed with other dvd's i have they'll get stuck on one and play fine on another. anybody else have these problems? i imagine i have to bring the hitchcock set back...

Film_Fatale Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 As the folks in that website said, MGM really should recall that set. In the meantime, you may want to try to take it back to the store, but there's a good chance you'll just get another defective set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateo107 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 i'm not sure what the status of the Boomerang DVD is at this point, but for those who can't wait i discovered that you can watch it free on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039208/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film_Fatale Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Good news! I have been especially wanting to see *The Silver Chalice*, even if PN thought he should apologize for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeciff Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 CHALICE is an early CinemaScope film with some very elaborate sets which I am anxious to see. Also, even though its not that great I will be buying THE HELEN MORGAN STORY too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 mateo, I mentioned a month or two back when Moonlight and Road House came out that Boomerang was available at Costco, along with others of the Fox Film noir group. I picked up a couple of them. Don't know if they still have them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 from The Rumor Mill at digitalbits.com: We've gotten another update from our studio and industry sources on great titles that are in the planning or production stages (or both) for release on Blu-ray Disc in 2009. You can reasonably expect to see most of the *Star Trek* feature films on the format, as well as *Chinatown, Deep Impact, The Ten Commandments, Sunset Boulevard, Apocalypse Now, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance* and *The Elephant Man.* According to our sources, there's also an outside chance that you MIGHT see *Titanic* on Blu-ray before the end of 2009. Keep your fingers crossed. I've also learned, directly from Paramount while visiting the studio with our friends at The Home Theater Forum last week, that the studios is FINALLY working on new HD transfers of *Wings* (1927) and *The African Queen*, hopefully for release in 2009 on both DVD and Blu-ray. As always, keep in mind that these titles ARE unofficial and are subject to change until they're actually officially announced by the studios in press releases and retail solicitations. http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#110308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleHHH Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Boomerang was at a store I went to... My mom will be happy if the African Queen finally comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateo107 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wings and the African Queen???? I would be happy with just one of them, finally something from Paramount that hasn't already been released 2 or 3 times already. speaking of which, has anybody mentioned the new releases of the Friday the 13th series?

Yup, Paramount is really getting a bad rap with the double, triple, and quadruple dips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's amazing how a certain snarky little poster keeps reprinting titles in a column of his own, totally ignoring how the same info - with much more details - was mentioned here first by myself and others. A recent example was his listing about The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh as something that Disney must have heard his request (from the previous post of his placed minutes before). Of course, he wouldn't acknowledge that so many of his lsitings have already been in here a long time before he decided to inflict his unwanted thread upon the DVD Forum. For example, *Dr Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh* was listed here all the away back on February 26th of this year and expanded later wiith a photo and more details of the set.. That particular poster should know about this because he was pushing his lists in this thread even then --- and when criticized by a poster other than myself for the lack of interest in a lot of the titles he listed, he was battling others in post after post here in this forum even then.
