Mar 26 13 10:19 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Millennium is giving us a double DVD triple feature of DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS, LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES and FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN, priced very nice. http://www.amazon.com/Hammer-Horror-Collection-Film-Set/dp/B00B94VJYW/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_2644980011_a1_n_2_p

As long as these have been unavailable (at least at decent prices), I'm just glad they're out there for the fans trying to fill in the gaps in their Hammer library. Realistically, not everything will come to Blu-Ray. (Historically, not everything came to VHS or DVD!) EDIT: It was announced a limited Blu-Ray release is in the works, but no date seems to be listed anywhere. (Not sure why they don't just bring it all out at the same time.)

That's so they can sell the DVD and then have some consumers double dip by purchasing the bluray. "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

Opposite of the approach Disney took with that last PIRATES flick, bringing out the Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray/DVD Combo sets several weeks before the DVD-only release.

Mar 28 13 5:10 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Not having any of these on DVD, I'm gonna spring for it. I doubt that I'll ever feel the need for LEGEND or ..CREATED WOMAN on Blu-Ray (matter of fact, I'm not sure I really need them on DVD). I may one day go for DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS on Blu (especially if someone can dig up some extra Barbara Shelley footage...hubba hubba..) But for now, I'm looking forward to seeing it in this form. If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. Dorothy Parker

Mar 28 13 10:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I wonder if this iteration of DPoD will have the lively commentary track with Lee, Shelley, and their two co-stars. Shelley in particular stands out--a woman of delicious wit and charm. H.

Mar 30 13 8:35 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I don't think it does ( agreed it's a great track, ditto the RASPUTIN one). Mirek has the new release and has posted caps over at Latarnia, discussion has begun, and there's no blue to be found. DPoD seems to be the grenish new remaster though.

Apr 1 13 10:37 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I don't think it does ( agreed it's a great track, ditto the RASPUTIN one) Also liked Lee's commentaries on the Anchor Bay releases of THE DEVIL RIDES OUT and SCARS OF DRACULA. (It's funny, at the end of the DRACULA track, when Lee suddenly realizes he'd never actually sat through the film before and appears to find the movie better than he'd expected.)

Apr 2 13 7:08 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just received this new DVD set and played the first 5 minutes or so of Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. While the image is sharper and the colors are better than the Anchor Bay release, something looks really odd about the motion of the image. The motion looks extremely unnatural like it is speeding up and slowing down by a frame or two, amost like a stobing effect. What is going on? It makes it difficult to watch.

Apr 3 13 8:11 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Frankenstein Created Woman also features rich color and clarity. In Dracula, Prince of Darkness the scene in the inn has a Technicolor punch I've never seen before. Legend of the 7 Golden Vampire's crazy color schemes are even more vibrant. I got this for under 11 clams including the shipping from Amazon! Well worth it at twice the price. Stewart

Apr 7 13 9:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I watched the Millenium FCW last night and , compared to the old AB dvd and the washed out prints that used to air on tv , I've never seen it look so good. One minor flaw though ... for some reason , for a few seconds , as Christina kills the first scoundrel , the picture quality drops off a bit , almost looking like it came from another source. Despite it looking so good , I still think the storyline is as muddled as Dr. Hertz's mind. Whenever this used to play on NY television , the one line description of FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN in the Sunday supplement's tv guide read: The Baron gets blamed for everything.
