Re: Midnite Movies
From the Classic Horror Film Boards:
Tom Weaver says:
""I must plead guilty to having lost track of what has/hasn't been announced yet, but over the weekend my homeboys in the retailing world were telling me about all sorts of upcoming titles that were not known to me, including a big Roger Corman set (lots of exploitation titles but also PREMATURE BURIAL and X-RAY EYES), a Vincent Price set (PHIBES movies, TWICE TOLD TALES, several more), a PHARAOH'S CURSE-CURSE OF THE FACELESS MAN double-bill, THE VAMPIRE-THE RETURN OF DRAC, a FLY set with the (I think) never-before-released CURSE OF THE FLY, a special edition of the 1960 LOST WORLD, a PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES-BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES combo -- and several others that I haven't been able to retain, the titles were coming at me too fast and furious. (Wish I'd had a pen and paper!)"
Then From Jameson281
"[Haunted Palace and Tower of London (1962) are] in the Price box set. I don't know if these are being made available separately. The Price set might include DR. GOLDFOOT AND THE GIRL BOMBS (U.S. version only), but I have no official confirmation on that.
The Roger Corman promotion that Tom mentioned will include a couple of previously unreleased titles in addition to the reissues.
Both RETURN OF DRAC and THE VAMPIRE will be using brand-spankin' new hi-def transfers. I discovered original 1950's documentation establishing 1.85:1 as the proper aspect ratio, but I'm not sure what they chose to use for the DVD.
PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES should also be a new hi-def transfer from original elements, so you'll be able to toss those public domain versions..
I was told that the CURSE OF THE FACELESS MAN/PHAROAH'S CURSE double bill was cancelled, but if Tom is hearing about it from retailers it must be back on.
There should be a couple more Midnite Movie double features coming pairing a previously released title with a new-to-DVD title.""
and from Fangoria comes this additional list of double features:
THE BEAST WITHIN/THE BAT PEOPLE
GORILLA AT LARGE/MYSTERY AT MONSTER ISLAND
THE HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN/THE MEPHISTO WALTZ
YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP/KONGA
Geeze, Fox and MGM are already kickin' Halloween DVD butt - and we haven't even heard what Warners is doing. Start saving now folks!!

Re: Midnite Movies
Who owns The Town That Dreaded Sundown?
I've been waiting forever for this one to come out on dvd.
If you\'ve got what it takes, sooner or later someone will take what you\'ve got.

Re: Midnite Movies
Darn, I'll be the only one who complains. I already have many of these so I'll have to double dip on double features.
Real Name: Arthur Belling of "St. Looney Up-The-Cream-Bun-and-Jam"

Re: Midnite Movies
It's a bit disappointing that there's no QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT in this batch.

Me, too! The movie still unnerves the hell out of me, even with the silly police business intertwined with the stalking scenes. I thought maybe MGM had it, but who knows the way these things change hands.
My Blu-ray collection so far: Casino Royale, The Fifth Element, 300, Unforgiven, T2, The Descent, The Road Warrior, The Untouchables, Purple Rain, Deliverance

Re: Midnite Movies
DVD Planet has pre-orders for the 9/11/07 release of films under the Midnite Movies double features line from 20th Century Fox but the titles are different from what has been mentioned so far. They are:
A Blueprint For Murder (1953)/Man In The Attic (1953)
Chosen Survivors (1974)/The Earth Dies Screaming (1965)
Devils Of Darkness (1965)/Witchcraft (1964)
Tales From The Crypt (1972)/Vault Of Horror (1973)

Re: Midnite Movies
Thomas, those are the Fox catalog double features, not the Midnite Movie line.

Re: Midnite Movies
Whatever happened to THE UNDYING MONSTER, CHANDU THE MAGICIAN, THE LODGER, HANGOVER SQUARE, and MAN HUNT that were mentioned as Fox's Halloween dvds in another thread?

Re: Midnite Movies
DVDPlanet have got it wrong. They are not the new Midnite Movies, they are the Fox releases.
The confusion has probably come from the fact that they do look like the old Midnite Double Features (or at least the titles do)...and also, it is now Fox who will be distributing the actual MGM Midnite titles ... which will probably be single title discs..
Confused? You will be...

That is a boxset AFAIK, and may be due for release a little later, so it may be announced on DVD-Drive-In later also.
The titles didn;t strike me as being particularly "halloween" so it may be marketed as something else. |
