Is A*P*E next or did that get pushed back?

The good people at 3-D Film Archive are working on A*P*E as we speak - no set date yet.

- thanks, I have to say, my interest in this release has grown since it was announced. Looking forward to this ridiculous little film.

Nice!! Just watched George Sanders in another Kino release last night - he was great as the neo-Nazi killer in "Witness to Murder".

Great to see the Fox deep catalog stuff coming out. I actually prefer this 1944 version to Hitchcock's silent version (available from the UK), although that, too, is excellent. I think the difference is in the incredibly creepy and convincing performance by Cregar, which is much more intense than Ivor Novello's in the 1927 film.

As do I, but quite a wide margin. MisterLime, do you also have HANGOVER SQUARE?

I meant to mention that HANGOVER SQUARE is a perfect compliment to THE LODGER. Same actor, same disturbing atmosphere, same director, same studio.

Coming Soon on Blu-ray!

The Undying Monster (1942)
Starring James Ellison, Heather Angel and John Howard
Directed by John Brahm

 

[Carcosa]

All we need is HANGOVER SQUARE and that completes the blu reissue of the first FOX HORROR CLASSICS box set...

While I'm happy to see Kino dipping into Fox's horror archives, might there be any plans to release titles that never made it to DVD, perhaps The Spider, Just Imagine, or Berkeley Square? DVD would actually be fine here, as I'd just like to see the films in circulation. (I'll omit Trick for Trick.)

Two other possibilities: Liliom (perhaps 1930 + 1934) and Nightmare Alley (with the R2 Masters of Cinema extras).

I haven't been following this thread faithfully, so hopefully am not retreading old ground.

Coming in 2017 on Blu-ray! Brand New HD Master!

Hangover Square (1945)
Starring Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, George Sanders and Alan Napier
Directed by John Brahm

We originally planned to release all three John Brahm classics December 2016 - Now THE LODGER and THE UNDYING MONSTER will be released December 6th - HANGOVER SQUARE will be receive a brand new HD transfer and will be released in 2017.

Mister Lime, with all three John Brahm classics from the first volume of the Fox Horror Classics set now being set for release, is there any chance for Dragonwyck and Dr. Renault's Secret coming out from Kino to complete the second volume?

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

Hangover Square, too? Great stuff. Keep 'em coming!

 

[Douglas R]

Laird Cregar is terrific in THE LODGER and HANGOVER SQUARE. It's such a tragedy that he died so young.

Dragonwyck is with another label - We don't have Dr. Renault's Secret

And also very good in I Wake Up Screaming. So many excellent releases coming from KINO this year.

 

[borisfw]

Wow . Some great stuff coming . I didn't think any of these horror titles would show up on BLU . I'll be buying all . Can't wait for more .

 

[Tom St Jones]

Hi Mr. Lime, this may be slightly out of place among the current talk+ announcemnts of 'macabre' titles, but I'm curious to know if BUSTER (1988) is with Kino? It's been released to DVD (by MGM), but only in a non-anamorphic transfer. Keep up the great work!

Completely agree. Very appreciative of all that Kino's done but pining for never-before-on-homevid titles. "Trick for Trick" would be a coup but Kino and/or Fox would have to do a deal with print-holder Museum of Modern Art, and I don't see an appetite from studios for exerting themselves like that on catalog titles. As Trump likes to say at the end of his tweets: "Sad!"
