Crypt of the Living Dead-'1973'

THIS MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN COLOR, THE ONE EYE SAW WAS IN Black & White. WHY?

The version I saw on tv last week was b&w.

"Don't worry, I'm a gun club member, I'm taking these rookies downtown".

I saw it on community television on 10 April 2015, and it was in black and white also. They used to print colour feature films and television shows in black and white for countries like Australia that didn't have colour television. Perhaps all colour prints have been destroyed? The black and white version is probably public domain, which may explain why it is so common.

I just bought a really nice color DVD print of this movie under the title "Young Hannah Queen of the Vampire". It is on the VCI Entertainment label. I bought it new for less than $10 on Amazon to add to my Eurotrash collection. While this movie is only average at best, for whatever reason, I kind of really like it.

This film is now available in a gorgeous restored color print on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.

Yes it is, and it is well worth getting.

The Blu-Ray you mention must have been used for the review I've just watched of this film. It looks picturesque on the outside shots. I notice the Blu-Ray has four extra minutes of running time than given on IMDb. They must have dug up some extra shots from somewhere that had laid hidden. I suppose the Blu-Ray is rare now as I think there was only a run of 2,000 copies made available.
