The Curse of Frankenstein

The first, and perhaps the best of the long-running series of horror films from the house of Hammer, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in this landmark interpretation based on the famous Mary Shelley story. Baron Victor Frankenstein becomes friends with one of his teachers, Paul Krempe. At first, both men are fascinated by the potential of their re-animating experiments. Eventually, though, Krempe refuses to help with Frankenstein's human experiments. However, he is drawn back into the plot when Frankenstein's creature kills a member of the house staff. For its U.S. Blu-ray debut, Warner Archive is proud to present this deluxe 2 Disc Special Edition, featuring two theatrical aspect ratio presentations, meticulously remastered and restored from preservation separations, as well as bonus disc with the restoration presented in "open-matte" format, as was seen for years on television, plus four exciting new retrospective featurettes, an expert commentary, and the original theatrical trailer.

Also they are releasing Mister Roberts and a vol 2 of The Best of Tex Avery cartoons....I'm excited for those and Frankenstein!

Looks to be a spectacular release. Once I have this and The Revenge Of Frankenstein from the Mill Creek Hammer set, it'll complete my run of the Peter Cushing Frankenstein pics.

"Mister Roberts" I've been waiting for forever. I have three DVDs on my shelf still lying in "snapper cases" from late 1990s purchases. "Mister Roberts", "Arsenic And Old Lace" and "Butterfield 8". The day I have none left will be a day to celebrate!

The only "snapper" DVD I have left is Brian De Palma's Femme Fatale. It's ABSURD that hasn't been released on Blu yet, not even overseas.
