Will Jekyll be the UK undubbed version as opposed to the redubbed cut print previously released on VHS? Heres hoping.

Woo-hoo! Hopefully CURSE will be from a new transfer instead of the PAL dvd's transfer (not that it's bad, but could benefit from some improvement).
And, also hoping CORRUPTION will still be included as an extra...even though it's not a Hammer film. Wondering, this was originally to be marketed as a
Lee/Cushing set -- still a chance of that, or will it be a Hammer set (and that's it)?
Oh, good news, good, good news! Makes the lack of MMs this year much less painful... Thanks, Jameson! Ben |

Hopefully CURSE will be from a new transfer instead of the PAL dvd's transferAgain, I think Sony has a very good track record, Grover Crisp's team is excellent, so I'm not worried at all. |

Oh sir, happy news indeed! I'll try not to whine too much if the cover art is as drab as the ICONS OF ADVENTURE and KARLOFF ICONS OF HORROR sets, really I
will. I'll probably make my own customized keep-cases anyway, and it'll just be great to finally have these on dvd. JEKYLL and SCREAM I've never
even seen before, so it's all good.

I can't wait to finally have 'The Gorgon' on DVD and properly presented. It's one of my favorite Hammer films. Aw, heck, one of my favorite
films in general. Awhile back, when folks were bragging in the Hammer folder about having seen it on the now-defunct Monsters HD, I couldn't have been more
envious, well, now my wait is over. As a kid it seemed like they played it on TV every Saturday afternoon. Anyway, it always spooked me.
As far as the other films go; I haven't seen 'Two Faces...' so that'll be fun, I remember 'Curse...' and look forward to having it, I saw 'Scream of Fear' on TCM not too long ago and really - ahem - Susan Strasberg -ahem - loved it. So, yeah, can't wait. |

Really exciting news...particularly for Scream of Fear and the Gorgon!
