Any plans to rerelease this on dvd/bluray


Along with Dracula and The Mummy, Are there any future plans to rerelease these on dvd and bluray? Hopefully the next release will be uncut!(the longer eyeball scene) and in it's intended ratio of 1.66:1. These are long overdue the special edition treatment? a 2012 release, marking it's 55th anniversary, would'nt go a miss!

Curse of Frankenstein is due for release in October in the UK. I don't know if it will be region B or all region. Apparently it includes the eyeball closeup but not the long lost head in acid scene.

There's a fantastic BD coming up later this month.

Amazing extras!

I got the DVD two weeks ago. A great two-disc edition from Lionsgate. Extras: the restored film (now it includes the previously deleted eyeball sequence) both in ratio 1.37 and 1.66, audio commentary, the priceless Making Of documentary, a short Peter Cushing documentary for avid fans like myself, the 1952 film "Four-Sided Triangle", the TV episode "Tales of Frankenstein" starring Anton Diffring, the documentary "The Curse of Frankenstein" narrated by the late Oliver Reed, a stills show, and finally the CD booklet "The Creator's Spark": Hammer's Frankenstein Begins".
And I paid just £5 for all of this.
