Is it Worth Buying?

One I would point you to is Lionsgate's double play of THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, which a has some great extras, including bonus film FOUR SIDED TRIANGLE, as well as the pilot episode for Hammer's ill - fated Tales Of Frankenstein tv series.

And I know you're sick of hearing this, but I would recommend you get yer mitts on a blu ray player and get Indicator's Hammer box sets. Not only are the transfers of the films stunning, but the list of extras for each title is amazing.

Thank you for the reply Mojo.

If i remember rightly aren't there framing issues with Curse of Frankenstein? That would have been a priority but i also own The Four Sided Triangle on dvd.

The Indicator box sets don't really interest me as i'm not as much of a fan of Hammer's thrillers as i should be. Each Indicator set only has two films i really want or feel i should upgrade. It's a pity the four aren't in one set. Never Take Sweets From a Stranger, Cash on Demand, The Gorgon and The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb are the one's i'd like.

Is The Devil Rides Out only available on blu with the new CGI effects?

The dual format To The Devil a Daughter arrived today.

Not on the SC dual format edition, both the DVD and Blu Ray have the awful CGI scenes

I didn't think so. One reason to keep the dvd release. Also it looks great upscaled anyway.

THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN has two ratio options - never before released academy ratio ( 1.37.1 ) and alternate 1.66.1 version. There's also a making of feature, World Of Hammer episode and a new Peter Cushing documentary.

I'll be getting all four new Hammer blu rays this week

A small portal to Narnia through the backend of a wardrobe.
