I've checked out the site of the company that offers this, and, as I suspected, it looks like yet another crappy "PD" release, probably the 1,867th such release this film has had.
The ONLY good release of this film is the fully legit Image DVD, part of their EuroShock Collection. It's fairly bare-bones, but is at least presented in its OAR of 1.66:1, has excellent liner notes, and offers a Spanish track (no English subs) and an isolated music and effects track as extra listening options. But, even this decent version is STILL missing the closing credits; the picture fades out early, and the end music theme plays to the end, like on every version I've seen except for one PAL VHS release that retains the complete closing credits crawl, but alas, the opening credits are re-jiggered on that.
I'm wondering if this classic horror film (yep, I said CLASSIC, and will debate to the death all naysayers
) will ever be done complete justice on any home video format. Restored COMPLETE print, OAR, English track, Spanish track, isolated music & effects track, English subtitles, Christopher Lee commentary track, original theatrical trailer, still gallery, and perhaps a making-of featurette? Another godsend would be an official CD release of John Cacavas' memorable score, one of my all-time faves. Just try not to whistle the main theme after you're finished watching the film. That is, if you can whistle.
