Actually just one. The Mummy set has Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.

Hoping for Creature and Invisible Man by October. I knew this wave was most likely The Mummy (to tie in with the new film) and Dracula (since they only had two films to remaster), but Black Lagoon and Invisible Man are my jam. I'm in it even more if they include a 3D Revenge of the Creature.

Well obviously these will be mine.

MJD64 · 02-21-2017, 04:08 PM

I suspect Universal doesn't consider the Mummy sequels worthy of 4K restoration but I am holding out hope Dracula's Daughter and Son of Dracula do get 4K treatment.

Do any other fans wish the alternate Spanish audio tracks on the Mummy sequels had been ported over? I seem to recall reading in Video Watchdog they were recorded back in either the 40's or 50's and do contain some differences in music cues (if memory serves, it's been awhile) Given their vintage, they certainly are a part of the history of this series.

Also, here's hoping A&C Meet The Mummy is in its 1.85 OAR.

Bear in mind that in addition to standard sets, there are also a Fandango Cash promotions.

MifuneFan · 02-21-2017, 04:16 PM

It would be odd for them to reauthor th Dracula disc, ao I have to assume the Spanish version will be included

Preordered! No brainer for me!
Any drop in price at this point will be considered a nice bonus.

Just happy to support this line.

That's about $26 American!

The MUMMY LEGACY, finally! Bring on the Gillman!

Dex Robinson · 02-21-2017, 04:54 PM

I'll mention that, personally, the most exciting movie in this set is Abbott & Costello Meet The Mummy. I'm sure everybody has a favorite but for me, this is second only to Meet Frankenstein. And it has historical value as the last A&C outing for Universal. If Universal does this right, it SHOULD be 1.85:1.

A&C lore has it that this was expected to be lightweight "filler" as A&C went out with a whimper. But it was unexpectedly popular...and deservedly so.

I really enjoy the musical number by Peggy King. Sure, it's out of place...just like most of the Andrews Sisters songs in the earlier movies...but I find it a delightful change of pace. Peggy is still with us at age 87.

I'll expect something on the level of what we got with Were-Wolf of London and She-Wolf of London, but hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'm also surprised this is coming out in May.

It was just mentioned on another forum from a reliable source that was sworn to secrecy was told that these are 4K remasters they were working on these last year.

Great news! Two more DVD sets to the trade pile!

CinemaScope · 02-21-2017, 05:00 PM

Universal didn't release the Frankenstein/Wolfman sets in Europe, & I'm sure they won't release these, but I'm very happy to import (& with a low pound), the fact that we can get these films looking so good is amazing. I hope this thread doesn't degenerate into moaning about double-dipping of some titles & going on about the price, like the old Frankenstein/Wolfman thread did.

Yeah, I'd been pretty much holding out for all the character-based sets on Blu.

StingingVelvet · 02-21-2017, 05:26 PM

Neat, sooner than expected. Assumed it would be next Halloween but hoped the Mummy movie would push it to sooner. I'm not a huge vampire fan but I'll get the Dracula set for completion's sake. Very excited about the Mummy set.

crissrudd4554 · 02-21-2017, 05:27 PM

I was literally just watching MUMMY'S HAND on my portable DVD player on a plane trip two days ago. Nice to hear Universal are continuing on with these so quickly. Hopefully this means we'll have the INVISIBLE MAN and CREATURE sets closer to Halloween.
