Looks great! I am a bit sad there are no subtitles, but I am going to get it anyway.

I believe this was the very first horror movie I saw - on German television, which we could get in southern Denmark. It was naturally dubbed in German, too. Luckily I grew up watching Sesame Street in German, so it quickly became like a second language to me.

Since my parents were probably the last on earth to get a VCR, most of the horror I watched during the 1980's was in fact on German television. It took years before I managed to see all of them again in their original language.

Kino has just said that this is going OOP.

Thanks so much for the heads up. Could just just please link to the article or comment where it mentions this?

Anyway, just went ahead and bought on Amazon for around $21.

The most important question: are OTHER Kino Vincent Price Blu-ray releases also going out of print?

If so, must jump on them fast!

Thanks!

Glad I picked this one up during one of the last sales. Never saw it before a couple weeks ago, but definitely an interesting watch.

From the "Vincent Price On Blu-Ray" thread:

Get them while you can at their While Supplies Last sale....

Might want to add these released to the OP of that thread when the US releases go totally OOP:

Vincent Price (The Raven, The Tomb of Ligeia) dials up the depravity in this spellbinding trilogy of Nathaniel Hawthorne's (The Scarlet Letter) chilling classics! Dripping with demented genius, poisonous plants, oozing blood and a corpse in a wedding gown, Twice-Told Tales spins three gripping, diabolical nightmares of madness, mayhem and murder most foul. Price stars in all three stories, including "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", about a scientist who finds the fountain of youth... and lives to regret it; "Rappaccini's Daughter", the twisted tale of a demented father whose love for his daughter turns poisonous; and "The House of the Seven Gables", the ghostly legend of an ancient cursed family who lived for power... and died for greed. The stellar cast includes Sebastian Cabot (The Time Machine), Brett Halsey (Return of the Fly), Beverly Garland (Chicago Confidential) and Joyce Taylor (13 Frightened Girls!).

Since there isn't a separate thread for The Oblong Box, I thought I'd drop by and mention what I mentioned on the Vincent Price thread. Hi-Def Digest has reported that both this and The Oblong Box have new, better encodings and are now pressed on BD-50 discs. Screenshot comparisons are in both reviews to show the improvement.

The both of them are also being sold for under $20 at Walmart (if the listings are indeed the new reissues.)

Both blu-rays arrived and they are indeed the limited edition re-releases with the slipcovers. Walmart is still looking to have them both for great prices.

Did Smith and Martin record the commentary together? It initially sounds like it but they never interact, and at one point one of them is in the middle of a tangent, the other interrupts to talk about what's on-screen, and then once that's done the tangent resumes like nothing happened.

I don't understand why you would make a commentary that way.

I think they were recorded together but are reading from a prepared script. I don't mind it when a solo commentator like Tim Lucas does that but it's weird when they have two people handing back and forth. I'm pretty sure the David Del Valle and Constantine Nasr commentary for House of Wax is recorded the same way even though they've both done commentaries where they pretty much wing it.

The bit that gets me is at about 1:15:30, where Martin is discussing the publication of the original novel, and it feels like he gets cut off mid-sentence so Smith can talk about the cast as Price and Garland first enter the house. Once he's done, Martin resumes discussing the novel as though Smith's interjection had never happened.
