Children of the Damned and Dracula Has Risen from the Grave are possible Premium Collection titles i'd think. The other Hammer's are begging for a Powerhouse release. There are a fair few obscurities there. The House on Marsh Road was released by Renoun on dvd whilst films such as The Snake Woman have never even had a dvd release over here. You said Triffids was on the way years ago. I almost didn't buy the Odeon dvd in anticipation but i'm pleased i did even though it looks a bit meh at best. |

When I compiled the list I was surprised at how many there were! Plenty to go at for labels such as Indicator, BFI and Network who champion Brit titles. |

Some are out of English Gothic's 'borderline' section. I'm relying on Jonathan Rigby as I haven't seen a lot of those listed in that section. Personally, I prefer to have a broad definition of horror and include as many dark thrillers as possible. Often these are the ones that are the most twisted and sleazy. I don't like to think I'm missing out |

It's on one of those MGM Timeless Horror four pack dvd's along with The Face of Marble, I Bury the Living and The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake. I had no idea it was British when i bought it but was pleasantly surprised as it's a bit of a gem to me and a definite precursor to Hammer's The Reptile five years down the line. It stands out like a sore thumb against the American dross on the disc. |

I've not seen it. Never used to be on TV 'in the day' and I gave up buying cheap DVD sets about 15 years ago because so many had poor picture quality and to be honest I had other priorities around that time.

They were cheap but they weren't poor quality. Just MGM putting out little known films in one set.

I have had a UK Bluray of Peeping Tom by Studio Canal for ages?

Yes, I did know this, so its inclusion on the list wasn't strictly correct. But the present release is considered to be a poor job with DNR and orange skin tones. The new upcoming restoration promises to be definitive. |
