Double-yeah! Terror of the Tongs? Phooey! Stranglers of Bombay? Obscure! Give us some horror!

I think this set is great. I've only seen STRANGLERS (which I like a lot), so I'm looking forward to three Hammer films with Christopher Lee that will be brand new to me. Great job, Mike!

As for the horror films, Mike has indicated that a Lee/Cushing set is in the works, so be patient and maybe we'll see something around Halloween.

Worst Hammer film ever. That one can stay forgotten!

I'd think more people would be familiar with The Gorgon than Stranglers From Bombay. Can there really be a market for Terror of the Tongs? Especially at Wal-Mart? Somehow, I can't see Billy Joe Bobby picking up that set and going "yee-haw, jes what's I been looking fer!"

Unless plans have changed, THE GORGON is coming in the later Lee-Cushing set. So be patient; it's coming. You're frustrated because these aren't the Hammer titles you would preferred to have gotten from Sony first. That's understandable; most people on this board would probably share that opinion, including myself. But just because these are coming out doesn't mean we won't be getting the others. The more Hammer that is released, the better (unless your name is Tom Weaver).

I wonder what else might be in a Hammer/Lee/Cushing horror box set? If TERROR OF THE TONGS is in the "adventure" set, then the remaining Columbia owned Hammer titles that feature Lee or Cushing or both should be TWO FACES OF DR. JEKYLL, TASTE OF FEAR and THE GORGON. Doesn't Sony usually do their box sets in 4 title combinations? If so, then what might the fourth title be? Am I forgetting a Columbia owned Hammer horror with either Lee or Cushing?
