StudioCanal Backs Plans To Bring Hammer Horror Back From The Dead - The Hollywood Reporter

...The partnership continues throughout the spring for the releases of The Reptile and The Plague of The Zombies, and will also include The Devil Rides Out, Rasputin the Mad Monk and The Mummy’s Shroud during the course of the year.

Hammer will also release definitive versions of a trio of famous titles in the U.K.:*The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy.<br>

That's what I call GOOOOOD news!

I sold what I had left of my ABUS Hammer Collection a few months ago too while they're still fetching good money, with the hope more would start turning up.

Also sold my Horror of Dracula because I couldn't stand the cropping after watching it again.

Looks like the 21st century has landed! The Quatermass BD had exceptional PQ considering its age. I hope the rest of the films are given such excellent treatment

Fantastic news!

I'm particularly looking forward to The Devil Rides Out: my favourite Hammer film.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]
