edgedrv Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Warner's announced a 5-disc Val Lewton Horror Collection box set for release on 10/4 ($59.92). The box set contains NINE classic films, including THE CAT PEOPLE/CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE/BODY SNATCHER, ISLE OF THE DEAD/BEDLAM, THE LEOPARD MAN/THE GHOST SHIP and THE SEVENTH VICTIM. Of these 5 discs, The Cat People/Curse of the Cat People, I Walked With a Zombie/Body Snatcher and Isle of the Dead/Bedlam will also be available separately (for $19.97 each). The rest of the films will be exclusive to the box set. Extras include audio commentary with Greg Mank and Simone Simon on Cat People and Curse of the Cat People, commentary with Kim Newman and Steve Jones on I Walked With a Zombie, commentary with Steve Haberman and Robert Wise on The Body Snatcher, commentary with Tom Weaver on Bedlam and commentary with Steve Haberman on The Seventh Victim, along with the Shadows in the Dark: The Val Lewton Legacy documentary (on the life and films of the famous RKO producer - the documentary is exclusive to the box set) and theatrical trailers. WOW, this is one of WB most exciting box sets yet. I can't wait to hear Simone Simon's comments about the Cat People movies. There are so many wonderful DVD's coming out this fall I will be spending a mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealfuster Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I am one of the biggest Val Lewton freaks around. I can't wait to buy this set, Edgdrv! All of those films are favorites of mine, and I do own most of them on video, but I'd like to see the shower scene in "The Seventh Victim", which seems to have influenced "Psycho", in a really sharp dvd edition. I am much indebted to you for posting this, and I am marking the date of 10/4 on my calendar. I hope I live till then... 10/4, Edgdrv...over and out!
