The Creeping Flesh: who controls the rights (Cushing, Lee, non-Hammer horror) (1 Viewer)

[StevenA]

Often overlooked amongst the Cushing/Lee vehicles, perhaps because it's an Amicus film and not part of the Hammer canon, this is a fascinating title and one I'd love on disc.
Does anybody know if Columbia still owns this one?
I hope Anchor Bay can get their hands on it (I'm besotted with Anchor Bay at the moment, having just aquired Blood From The Mummy's Tomb and Scars of Dracula - what beautifully presented discs, with genuinely enlightening extras, special bonus discs, very insightful liner notes, original poster art repros inside the package... wow!)

WOW! Talk about creepy coincidences. I was just talking to my friend about this movie not even 3 days ago. We were wondering the very same thing you are. I haven't seen this film in many years. It is definatly a classic. I hope it comes out real soon.

That's amazing, Russ! It's not the kind of film I'd expect many people think about that often, so it is quite a coincidence!
Glad I'm not the only one who'd like to see this on DVD.

I'd buy this one in a minute - as I'd buy ALL of the Cushing and Lee collaborations. AFAIK, Columbia still holds the video rights to this one, but I'm sure Peter Fitzgerald can confirm. Also, this was a Tigon-World Film Services production, not an Amicus film.

Speaking of non-Hammer Cushing movies... I'd love for Anchor Bay to get ahold of Shock Waves. I was so pissed when I saw a review and then found out it was non-region 1 PAL.

I have been summoned...

Columbia must still have it, as THE CREEPING FLESH has been getting a lot of play lately on Encore Mystery Channel, which licenses catalog titles from Columbia. On recent airings, it still featured the Columbia logo, with no other corporate logos present.
--Now give me back my finger!

the title was release on LaserDisc several years back. It was released by Image Entertainment along with several other great Columbia horror titles. I only hope that these make it to DVD before too long
