They did. It was called The Satanic Rites of Dracula.

It is just by a 3rd party seller and fulfilled by amazon but they still do not ship it to the USA at 14.49 euro (great price )

I do not collect media-books and just want the amaray case

Also is it worth getting or is there something in the works with a USA label, WB etc.. ? The disc is only 1080i .....

There's going to be a much better release from Anolis, as recently posted in this thread. There's probably going to be a Warner one in the US at some point too. Either way, skip that unless you really want it RIGHT NOW.

Would anyone like to pay Anolis prices for Dracula AD 1972? Some Hammer films just aren't worth it.
But (as long as they ship to you) the sub £15 for the current very nice quality disc makes it a good purchase.
There's no UK bonus features available for the film so any bonuses from Anolis are likely to be all German so apart from being 1080p and not 1080i I don't see the improvement being that significant

I'm sure WA will get there eventually but it might be 2 or 3 years or even more.
Be nice if they gave us a list of things they were looking to release in the next 12 months

You're like a boomerang.

Oh look, one of those 'no English features available' for Dracula AD 1972...

Iv'e just noticed on HMV, where I have ordered the Hammer films from that, To The Devil A Daughter and a few more of the discs have had their release date changed to the 29th January 2018. I hope it's a mistake.

I do not see that

This is off Hammer Films on Blu-Ray Facebook page................

From my wholesaler Elevation Sales responsible in the UK for Canal Plus releases ....sadly the 2nd batch of Canal Plus Hammer sets have been delayed till 31/1/2018 and the first batch to include Scars of Dracula etc are now slated for 31/10/2017. I wouldn't be a bit surprised these delays are down to production issues or lack of orders from the trade.

I agree not every Hammer film is worth paying Anolis prices; however I believe they are the only game in town (the world?) for Curse of the Werewolf, The Brides of Dracula, and The Phantom of the Opera in their correct aspect ratio as well as The Vampire Lovers completely uncut.

Also, I have the DE Dracula AD 1972 Blu-ray and it looks like hot garbage on my LG OLED display. If anyone wants to buy mine, now that I've talked it up so much, send me a PM.

I'm not too sad about it. There is an absolute STACK of releases including multiple box sets from recently until the end of November and that's the UK alone. My wallet can do with the extra space and I'm certainly not going to be short of stuff to watch in the ever limited time I get these days.

Damn it. I hope the first batch still gets to keep that release date.

[dumb_dutchman]

Safe guess that the German box-set with the 7 titles will be delayed then too. I pre-ordered it and the 8 individual UK editions with the intention of ultimately cancelling one or the others. Do I wait and save money, or do I pay significantly more to get some of the titles in November?

[Wireduck1]

I guess the delay helps the wallet strain just before the Christmas period. And, as long as the date doesn't get pushed further back, a couple of months shouldn't hurt. We've waited this many years already.

Damn those Phantom caps look great.

Yeah, if I could sell my children into slavery without repercussions, I'd own every Anolis release.
Sad times we live in, sad times.....

All the Hammer titles released by Studio Canal in october and january have English subtitles. This is confirmed by Studio Canal in a mail they sent to me.
I am happy.
Scars of Dracula, Demons of the Mind, Horror of Frankenstein, Doctor Jeckyll and Sister Hyde, Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, To the Devil a Daughter, Fear in the Night, etc...

[Lea74]

I see www.zoom.co.uk are now listing the Studio Canal titles.

BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB is £12.99 (£11.69 with SIGNUP10 code)

All the others are £15.00 (£13.50 with SIGNUP10)

I'll probably order Blood From Mummy's Tomb from zoom and the rest 2 for £25 from HMV.
