#31: THE LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF (1975)

If you were to pick one to release, which would it be? For me, it's an uncut NO BLADE OF GRASS

Two I would go for is:

The Ghoul
Bloodbath at the house of death

The Deadly Strangers and What Became of Jack and Jill?

Why? They aren't on any format full stop!

I have sell-thru vhs versions of the two Tyburn films and to be honest they aren't up to much so i'm not too fussed about them.

Few I haven’t seen so can’t comment , but twisted nerve is fantastic and underrated gem as far as I’m concerned.

Theatre Of Death certainly methinks

I'd say the Tyburn two.

..And also go off on a tangent and say Razor blade smile.:coffin:

And the uncensored The Devils..with the extra juicy bits.:brainfood:

..And Screamtime..

Saw that for first time since vhs days earlier this yr. a real hidden gem As the expression goes .

The Ghoul and Legend Of the Werewolf.

We can only hope the uncensored version of The Devils will get a proper release.

DEVILS OF DARKNESS
DEADLY STRANGERS
CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED
NO BLADE OF GRASS
IT!
BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH
NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT
TWISTED NERVE
THE GHOUL
THE LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF

Couldn't just pick one!

LONG overdue from Studio Canal....

In these days of sickening real life violence,it's an (unfunny) ****ing joke that a 1971 film can't be seen in it's entirety on high def.... :headbang:

Some people have no clue on what a great piece of cinema this film is and what it would mean for us fans to see it in it's full glory

Has Eye of the Devil had a release on blu? Or The Beast in the Cellar, The Mutations even?

Mutations definitely if that's the Freakmaker Pleasance ,Baker, jam. Man i'd be all over that shit...

Also... Night after night after night.

I have a US bootleg of it on dvd. It's way too bright for some reason, but that's easily rectified, but other than that the print is fecking superb. There's even a commentary track too.

Yeah i've got a dodgy copy, Desert Island something or other, definitely needs a proper copy tho..

More Julie Ege please sir...

You read the feature on her in the latest Darkside issue?

She was a doll.....:loveeyes:

I met Julie back in 1999. She signed my 'The Hammer Story' book.
She was someone I never ever thought I would meet. Fantastic!

Yep that's the Diabolik BD I have.
Has the FREAKMAKER artwork on the underside.:nod:

Who owns that film. Is it Sony or another company. The film was originally released by Columbia Pictures. I was hoping that Powerhouse/Indicator might release the film in the UK down the road.

It was owned by Sony/Columbia at some point but not sure if it still is
