Over here it's most definitely a Warner property though.

Anchor Bay must have been sold a batch of films straight from Hammer themselves. They originally released Satanic Rites as well as several others.

Hopefully the 'genius' designers of these 'masterpieces' have been put out to grass!

Did Warner release it in the UK on dvd in 2013? According to Amazon they did and used the US artwork complete with Archive Collection heading.

I think that must be a re-issue, Dem. Warner re-released some of their back-catalogue titles in the UK under the WAC banner (I think Taste the Blood of Dracula was another to get similar treatment) - the discs most likely being DVD-Rs rather than 'proper' pressed discs.
