Don't think I want to be reminded that an icon of horror is no longer with us with a "death mask"? Jeez!

I would prefer just the film and book, however.

Before anyone else has to ask...

Yep, factory-pressed, region-free blus. J

£120? Someone's forgotten that there's a cost of living crisis on. Remind me about this one if I win the lottery.

[oddbox83]

There’s a significantly cheaper option if you just want the Blu-ray.

[WaverBoy]

I backed this, the coffin box option. Can’t wait!

[CelestialAgent]

Was so busy yesterday I forgot to back it in time

Yeah they had an advert for it. Could be cool to watch.

What junk. Think of all the BD/UHDs you could buy instead.

To be fair it's not a collector's edition without an actual coffin with Christopher Lee inside.

Ah reminds me of those good old days of Anchor Bay and those coffin shaped box sets...

BFI Q&A for the documentary.

BFI Q&A

The audio is lossy DD5.1. I get such a small release may not justify the right software license to do a lossless 5.1 encode with Dolby or DTS, but at the very least they should have maxed the lossy bitrate. It's only 448kbps when they could have gone higher without any compatibility concerns.

Encode isn't optimal - momentary macroblocking appears on several occasions (When played on Oppo 203, and the error is repeatable so not hardware blips like can sometimes randomly happen).

I only mention for awareness and hopefully any future releases can improve on this. Given they give this a cataloguer number of 001...

Great documentary and extras package though! Niggles aside, I'm glad to own this on physical.

This ended up being a limited edition of 500. The last few coffin box sets and blu-rays are available on http://www.christopherleefilm.co.uk and the release will probably be out of print by. next week.

I ended up purchasing this off something called PledgeBox which apparently was a poor decision. I wish I had known there was a Kickstarter that might have actually been fulfilled!
