What, no Tales Of Terror!

 

[Keith Cobby]

I hope singles will be available in due course. The titles I want are Return of the Fly and The House on Haunted Hill.

 

[dana martin]

oh hell yes! this is the way to sneak into the right frame of mind for Halloween!!!

 

[Reed Grele]

I've been anxiously awaiting this.

 

[JohnMor]

VERY excited! Day one purchase for me!! (Even though it won't have my most wanted VP title on blu: Theatre of Blood.)

 

[Gromilini]

Great news! And of course just days after I purchased an out-of-print Warners copy of House on Haunted Hill--doh!

 

[Doug Otte]

I keep waiting for The Tingler...

 

[Keith Cobby]

I agree with you about The Tingler. I prefer his 1950's films and don't care for the later efforts.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

Keep waiting, unfortunately. That's a Sony title and, if it does come to Blu-Ray, it will likely come from Twilight Time (unless Kino Lorber has struck a deal with Sony) or Mill Creek. I would KILL for a full-fledged William Castle box-set on Blu-Ray.

I keep waiting for The Tingler...

If you have a multi region player you can buy that one off Amazon from the UK. ( Assuming it's region coded )

Great. On board for this. Loved the first set. Just wish it had Theater of Blood, which got a Region B release recently. The Last Man On Earth still remains, at least as far as mood, the best adaptation of Matheson's I Am Legend. The Raven is silly fun, but how can you resist Karloff, Lorre and Price all together?

 

[JoeDoakes]

This is great news! I hope Shout finds the best sources for Last Man on Earth and House on Haunted Hill (both public domain titles). It's very interesting that they were able to include Return of the Fly. Here's my wish list for Volume 3: Tales of Terror, Tower of London, Master of the World, The Tingler, Dragonwyk, and Mad Magician (2D and 3D). I recently saw Theater of Blood for the first time and, although I respect many elements of it, it's just too grizzly for me.

 

[JoeDoakes]

I also wouldn't mind seeing Twice Told Tales.

 

[Bob Cashill]

"Grisly." But I would like to see Grizzly on Blu.

The Comedy of Terrors is even unashamedly sillier than Raven (we knew Karloff had that much of a sense of humor), and Last Man on Earth, while not flashy, keeps Richard Matheson's original twist ending that Charlton Heston and Will Smith's egos would never allow.

I recently saw Theater of Blood for the first time and, although I respect many elements of it, it's just too grizzly for me.

It's on the edge of Amer.Int'l's move to "extreme" shocks in the 70's, but it's better if you think of it as the unofficial Third Dr. Phibes movie (with Diana Rigg as Vulnavia)--
Or even as Phibes' modern-day descendant, carrying on the family habit for themed art-revenge.

But I would like to see Grizzly on Blu.

It's coming (I think it'll be a limited edition though). William Girdler lives!

 

[ROclockCK]

Some fun stuff in this set, for sure, but the one I'm most excited about seeing again is Tomb of Ligeia. Although it came late in the Corman/Price/Poe series, I thought it was one of the best written, directed, and performed.

Alas, I am not multi-region, and the Arrow release is region locked, as usual.

But there's still plenty to love in this set. Can't wait.

LAST MAN ON EARTH will look excellent. MGM has a HD master ready to go (it's been on MGM HD).
