I will believe this when I see it. My understanding is that the film elements have not yet been found.

From what elements did Synapse take their 2012 DVD set from?

Pre ordered until further details come to light.

There's a trailer for Elephant's Hammer releases and it shows this as being DVD only. They also seem to think THE MONSTER CLUB is a Hammer movie.

Okay, credits at Amazon are for Adrienne Corri, Peter Cushing, Eric Porter, Peter Sasdy, John Hough and Robert Young.

The translation of the release is Box of Horror, not House of Horror.

The credits suggest Vampire Circus, The Lost Continent, Twins of Evil, and others. I don't think Corri was in the TV series.

Also there are a number of boxes coming from Elysee on the same date (21st October) which are film collections (Michael Powell, Carol Reed, Sabu, Hitchcock), but not any TV.

I do believe it will only be a boxset with already released Hammer titles. It also seems to me that behind the Amazon studio listing "Elysee" is actually Elephant Films.

[gretzky2010]

if you take this dvd release http://www.amazon.fr/Hammer-coffret-...les+cauchemars

named ''hammer le coffret de tous les cauchemars'' which is a boxset of the tv serie

so it makes sense that a boxset with the exact same name would be the tv show

i 'll email them and ask

Yes, I had noticed this as well. Some chicanery is afoot.

I'm not sure if there's a hidden agenda or simply a wrongly registered studio name. The product page seems to be quite an early one, it wouldn't be the first time it's approximative.

I think they're different branches of the same company, like Eureka/Masters of Cinema.

exactly

Just to confirm, see this announcement:

http://www.dvdclassik.com/news/une-s...-chez-elephant

Now search at Amazon France for 'Elysee Blu-ray' (and filter department to 'DVD & Blu-ray'):

http://www.amazon.fr/s?rh=k%3Aelysee...qid=1407329777

Then do the same with 'Elephant Films Blu-ray':

http://www.amazon.fr/s?__mk_fr_FR=%C...ilms%20blu-ray

You'll find lots of the same films, same packaging design, and films listed in the 'Elephant Films Press Release' at DVD Classik showing as being released by Elysee, as well as several stand-alone releases showing as being from Elephant Films, but which look due to appear in the Elysee boxed sets.
