I would like view the ole hammer films in blu-ray as well but i wonder how the sets are going to look in hdtv especially the colors and sfx.

Darn, I thought you were announcing some on blu. Here are some I'd love to see on blu-ray....

Curse of the Werewolf
Dracula
Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Dracula Has Risen From the Grave
Taste the Blood of Dracula
Scars of Dracula
Curse of Frankenstein
Frankenstein Created Woman
Frankenstein Must be Destroyed
Phantom of the Opera
The Mummy
Blood from the Mummy's Tomb
Twins of Evil
The Vampire Lovers
Dr Jekyl and Sister Hyde
Rasputin: The Mad Monk

I have my fingers crossed that Warner Brothers will start to release a title or two to gauge interest. I woul love to have Horror of Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein and The Mummy in HD...along with just about every other classic horror film. I emailed Dark Sky Films roughly a year ago and they indicated that the Amicus films in their library may soon head to Blu-ray. I would love to own "Asylum."

I liked the Hammer Dracula movies. I'd get them all for sure.

Yeah, I think its just a matter of time realy! But it would be mind blowing to see them in 1080P, also I think alot of them would clean up realy well as Hammer took so much care in their film making. Amicus again would be great I love those movies also, Tales from the Crypt is a fab movie!!


Fingers crossed, lets wait and see!!

I need to see the young and lovely Nastassja Kinski in To The Devil A Daughter in HD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rattyfinky]

indeed!! and ingrid pitt!! ha ha

There is now talk of Hammer on blu ray for next year it seems, a friend of mine works for the company,'The Devil Rides Out' staring Christopher Lee is the first of many

Of course I'd like to see the major Hammer classics, but I wish they would release a number of the films that haven't been as available in the US:

She
Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde
Hands of the Ripper
Twins of Evil
The Vampire Lovers

I imagine the color style of the Hammer films would look beautiful on Blu-ray (as would the Mario Bava films -while we're on the horror theme).

They can't come out soon enough for me

After the bollocks up they made of the Vault of Horror release a year or so ago, the least the movie gods could do would be to give me some Hammer and Amicus goodness on BD.

I think its a question of time for these releases,depends who owns them etc!!
Yeah that VOH was terrible,it looked better in The Amicus box set though.

'Plague Of The Zombies' on BD......wow! now that would be nice!

can this thread be moved to the BD wish list thread please!
